BYC Café

[Shadrach]

Late again. I don't know. You just can't find reliable staff these days.
Good afternoon Cafe.
There is more coffee on the stove if anyone wants a cup this late in the day.
Weather is a bit here and there but it's warmed up a bit and it isn't raining yet.

Good morning, Café. @DobieLover - glad to hear that your husband is doing well. I think that generally recovery is uneventful as long as he adheres to lifting restrictions. No coughing.

There are some major changes on the horizon for me.
I got my grant for the study. The study is on free range broody hen nesting strategy. It's not going to make any waves but it will be interesting for me.
I've also got a bit of a job. I think I mentioned before that I had been asked to 'advice' on a project to supply selected restaurants with free range chicken meat. I have my doubts about the business model but the project has commitment and funding.
I've also been asked if I would contribute to an online publication that is going to be in the eyes of most who contribute to BYC an animal welfare organization here in Europe. This is likely to put me in direct conflict with the aims and goals of BYC.
Essentially this means you'll need a new coffee boy for the mornings. I'm not leaving BYC as such, but I'm not going to have much time in the mornings especially and time I do have I hope to be spending with chickens.
Assuming everything doesn't fall flat my intention is to take an MSc through Edinburgh University in Applied Poultry Science. This in theory with my study should get me on Bristols University team studying cognitive behaviour in chickens.

This could all go horribly wrong with the Brexit situation so the longer term is a plan that is definitely of mice and men.

Good luck, Shad. We'll all make sure that a fresh pot is brewed at all times.

Edited to add a major congratulations.

Morning! Go for it, Shad and no stress!
Cold, foggy and snowy here this AM.
I hope your DH continues to remain comfortable, DL. That just does not sound like fun...
Enjoy the day you All! Stay safe.

Best of luck with all the changes Shad! Congrats on getting the grant for your study. Hope you won't get so busy you forget about us

Wow, Shadrach, this is amazing news!

Good morning, Cafe. Thanks for the coffee, Debby.
We have a warm but dreary day up on deck. A good day to nap a lot and recover from the stress of worry from yesterday.
DH is doing okay. I don't know of any swelling yet as he is still in bed but he seems comfortable as long as he doesn't cough.

Have him hug a pillow when he coughs. Seems to hurt less.
