Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Or you could say they were buggered.

Not an Australianism that translates well

Sorry, I’m not trying to hog the thread today. But this is too darn cute not to share. I let the chicks run around while I left the room to brush my teeth. I came back and found this. Apparently the dog bed is pretty comfy.

Love this.

I am slowly gathering phrases from other parts of the world and using them. I will be a complete wreck at some point here.

"Make I larf". There's one from the West Country, UK.

It used to have a different meaning but I don’t think it’s used in that context anymore.

This means what? I need to know before I use it.

Apparently “Och aye the noo” and “Sacre bleu” are two that you just don’t use in earnest.

It always means tired or broken in Australia.

I may not be quite as communicative as usual for a few days. My main computer has died and I need to build another out of the bits I've got. It hasn't take very long in the past but this time I'm trying to rescue/resurrect a Linux based hard drive and I haven't done this before.
I'm on my old laptop at the moment and it works by sending smoke signals. Needless to mention it's painfully slow and uploading picture sends it cowering into a corner.
So, I haven't died; or a tleast I hope that will be the case, and I'm not having a hissy fit either.

It means; whatever it was made me laugh.
If for example I said I'll swap my trail bike for one of your cars; the above would be an appropriate response.

I really glad this did not happen on Friday/Saturday. I don't think that I have sufficiently thanked you especially for the help. About 4.5 years ago I lost Trisha to egg binding. If I had this kind of help back then she might still be alive.

I went to bed Friday night scared for Hattie and worried that I would again not be up to the task. I woke up to good advice and a plan of action. You gave me the confidence to do what must be done. Thank you for that.

Hattie may not thank you right now, but I do.
