I forgot to tell you guys about DH's good news...a couple weeks ago someone was complaining about no one taking care of the company houses yards. DH was able to work out a deal with the company, he'll take care of the yards in return for 2 maintenance guys to help him out this summer. So starting today 2 of his crew returned to work and DH went off to work a happy camper

Tell him he's lucky to have you around, that should improve his mood (or maybe not, but it's a good thing to always speak the truth ).

I'm glad he's getting some help and I'm sure his two maintenance guys are thankful for the work as well. It's not a small job looking after a golf course.



Hope you are back in the good books by now.



Have the doctors given you any kind of timeline as to how long she'll have to stay in hospital? I sure hope you get to bring her home soon.

I was up at 1.30am this morning playing midwife to my two chicks. I got up to check on them and the one that had pipped at the narrow end was unzipping, so I stayed up to watch. Good thing I did because it managed to unzip but couldn't push out and it was in a bit of an odd position when I helped it escape from its egg. The other egg I'd taken the top off to see what was going on with it. Thankfully it just had the wrong wing over its head and it had pipped at the higher end of the air cell, but because I'd started it also needed help to hatch. The blood had disappeared from the veins in the membrane, but as I started to peel that back (it was starting to stick to the chicks down) I noticed the chick was still doing the yawning as though it were still absorbing yolk, so I left it a bit longer until it started to try and get out by itself (being a bit stuck to the membrane didn't help). They are both really lively, strong little things and they are so cute and fluffy. I've put their brooder by Fox and Squeaks so hopefully, once these babies are big/old enough, I can put them together. Fox and Squeaks are still so tiny, I don't think it will take these two long to catch up size wise.

Anyway, here are the cute little fluffles:

We were Covid free here in NZ, and had been for around 23/24 days. Then they let two women, who had returned from the UK, travel from Auckland to Wellington on 'compassionate grounds'. They had been in isolation in Auckland at a hotel being used for such a purpose, but not for nearly long enough before they were allowed to travel and one was even showing mild symptoms. Thankfully they travelled in a private car and in Wellington they were only in contact with one other family member who is now in isolation because both women do have Covid-19. But now the hotel staff as well as anyone they were in contact with while coming through the airport will have to be tracked and tested. Funnily enough there will be no more exemptions from this point onwards.

Good morning folks

Jae, that's both sad and frustrating. I'm so hoping this doesn't start a second wave for you.

Good morning DMC, have a great day. She's doing well... They're doing a follow up cat scan now, so I'll get results when I get there this morning. I'm hoping they get the next test done early today so she can start eating regular food.
