I just picked up a bag of frozen peas and corn
The corn of course gets eaten first. I find it useful for mixing medication into as well 
Potato Chip Thank you, and Beatrice is a Belgian D'uccle. They are a very sweet breed, and that fluffy beard is the best. Bea bonded to me very quickly, and loves to cuddle. About 5:30 each afternoon when she gets tired, she jumps up on my chair whilst I'm watching them all free range, and snuggles till bed time. It can be tricky putting her to bed, but as long as the others are in there, it's ok. She's like a toddler, it can take a few attempts to get her to stay though. Watching her run with those big feathered feet is amusing too.

Wow .. 3 days since I last posted. I have not been feeling my usual happy self, a combination of some not so good news at work in that some forced redundancies were doled out due to budget cuts .. I was lucky in that my role was deemed to be safe and coming up for 16 years of service may have had something to do with that also. However, losing some colleagues and in such circumstances has been a downer for everyone. That, plus I confess to not coping so well with the heat/humidity. I do not know if that is because we have been having more warmer days in a row than usual or whether it is just because I am getting older, but the heat/humidity has been such that I am cranky and at times, feeling quite unwell/drained. Winter can not get here fast enough for me. potato chip my Enabler detector is off the charts at the moment 
…. At the risk of putting myself into ‘I want one’-mode, I would love to see some pictures of your “other cute birdies”. locknest4 I like what you have done with the panels .. looks good 
The egg scoop is awesome! Fancy the actions pics of Scarlet are great! satay woooo hooo Teila!!! 
Great egg collection. Congrats on the new layers also Deej211. Oooh Fizzybelle I hope that first Agnes egg is not too far away 
MullyAly I am not familiar with Marans but just wanted to say “Hi” 
No news of note from Bambrook Bantams. KiKi continues to honk but I had a nice chat to my son about it. He agreed that trying to stop her was pretty pointless because, as we all knew, when she is not waking him up, the Crows, Cockatoos, Kookaburras and other assorted birds are. He is OK with closing his window and luckily has no trouble going back to sleep. That is a huge relief for me and has put my mindset back on a happy keel 
Telia, I'm with you on the heat and humidity, I've had enough. That storm last night only made things worse today. It wasn't much of a storm though. The sooner Autumn gets here, the better. I've been dunking the girls in a little cool water just before midday, and hosing the grass frequently throughout under the trees where they hangout (still off from uni for another week, hoping things'll calm down when I have to go back). It's just been a dry summer in Brissy this year.
Gratz on your first egg. I agree on the weather we have had a lot more days over 40 this summer than normal and very little rain though we did get a lovely 40mm the other night but we could do with a couple of hundred more.
