Good morning Cafe

IM, totally agree with you on the man bun. Worst. look. ever.

Meg & Penny, the holidays bring back lots of memories, the good and the sad. Take extra good care of yourselves.

Dobie, a snow kitten sounds like fun for the girls. Glad you had a visit.

Shad, spending time with your brother sounds more important than going shopping. But then to me, just about anything is more important than shopping.

More snow showers coming our way. No worries about not having a white Christmas here!

Thanks, lady

By the way! The ground is white haha Supposed to snow for the next couple of days. So much for my brown Christmas, but I'm kinda of glad now.

True. I lost a pair of sunglasses there at a flea market. I'm sure the perpetrator will find prescription glasses with prisms in both lenses quite useful.

I could have lost my camera out of my backpack on La Rambla had the signal not changed. I am quite sure I didn't have it mostly unzipped after leaving the bank.

And, sadly, one member of our party had her wallet taken out of her purse at the Picasso museum while waiting in line to buy tickets for the group. Also met some German students at La Sagrada Familia whose backpacks had been stolen on the beach. "Standard" ruse with one person chatting them up from the front while the partner silently picked up the goods behind them.

Not to say that Barcelona isn't a fascinating city, just that one should take great care that their valuables are unattainable by criminals.

It does have a bad and deserved reputation for pickpockets and bag theft.
Most people are aware of this, or should be when they visit.
There are a few precautions one should take visiting any strange city. Many do not.

Is your brother sticking around through the holidays, Shadrach?

Is your brother sticking around through the holidays, Shadrach?

I expect so Meg. He will spend Christmas with the main house. They came back last night.
In case nobody had worked it out a proportion of the main house are my relatives. I can't even begin to explain how much I wish they weren't, but they are and there's an end to it.
My half brother isn't a bad man and he is welcome here in my house. I can't say the same for the rest of the main house.
They have been back less than 24 hours. This is the damage report.
They made a bench seat in the sheep shed some time ago. I took it out because it wasn't made well enough to take the weight of the sheep. They stand on it with their front legs so they can see over the front wall. One of them decided to put it back in this morning. This afternoon the sheep knocked the bench seat off the wall. One of them likes to put the sheep to bed when they are here but often the sheep won't go in for them. This evening was such an occasion. I got told that one of the sheep was limping. I went to look and in the middle of the floor was the bench seat with the screws pointing upwards lying in the middle of the shed.
The duckhouse I built has doors that fold down to provide a ramp into the duck house.
The hinges are strong but if a person stands on the edge of the door/ramp (there is absolutely no need to stand on these doors) they won't take the weight of a human, much like a ramp to a chicken coop.
I went to put the ducks away tonight and the door is lying at an angle where one hinge has been broken.
They are having guests around for dinner and they've been rushing around presumably thinking about the dinner party. They all talk too much and leave things to the last minute.
The chickens, ducks and sheep are generally terrified of two of these people who move too suddenly and don't think about what they are doing. It's like watching an imbecile on amphetamines when they try to do stuff. I had already seen them send tribe 3 into a panic flight when they were showing their guests the donkeys. Tribe 3 moved up to where the ducks are and were there when these same people went up to put the sheep to bed. When you frighten chickens they just rush in any direction to get away from the threat, much like sheep do with a strange dog.
At roost time I Gedit was missing. I found her in the pond. The duck shed is very close to the pond and that is where the door got broken. It got broken while the chickens were up with the ducks.
Gedit died in my arms as I tried to warm her up and dry her out about an hour and a half after I got her out of the pond.
Sorry if this brings anyone down. I've lost two gorgeous hens this week due to human stupidity. I can live with the wild predators. The half wit humans I find very difficult.
