MJ's little flock

[Grammy60]

The most frustrating thing at the moment is having it all ready to go and nowhere to take it!

That is so true, , I think I could still just drop the bags at the big donation box that's by Wal-Mart, but I'm not sure. We haven't been in Wal-Mart in over a month.

She feels odd when I pick her up though, like she is wearing splint mail armor.

Splint mail armor is a very specific phrase. I have never held splint mail armor and somehow I could immediately envision the feeling you were trying to convey. Great use of the language. Very clever turn of phrase.

Is he pronounced ‘Sillin’ or ‘Killin’? And if he’s ‘Sillin’, was there ever a hen called Penny?

I'd like to know how to pronounce it too.

It's pronounced Sillin. There is a story attached.
His mother was called Otic............is that enough of a clue?

Cillins mother, Otic was attacked by the Marans when she was dumped in what was to become Tribe 1's coop when she was young. She had a rather nasty neck wound which went septic. She went on a course of antibiotics to tackle the infection. I couldn't really call her anti, or even Bi, although anti would have suited her character. So, she got called Otic.
Cillin, being the son of Otic would not have been impressed being call Penny from Penicillin so Cillin was next best.
