MJ's little flock

[Shadrach]

That mug is adorable. I can see why it is your everyday mug.

I have been collecting coffee mugs for over 30 years. Nothing special just goofy ones that make me smile. My whole family tells me I have too many. I believe they may be right. My favourite ones are on the book shelves in my library.

She does some nice stuff. She's gone a bit commercial now but the pottery I still like.

That is a very you, mug!

My daughter seemed to think so as well. It gets used every day.

Not really a collection any more. I used to have three tea sets and a number of coffee mugs.
I do have an every day mug given to me by my daughter.

I haven't always been an impoverished bucket boy and in past times I've tended to buy unusual well made things and keep them for years rather than the latest must have.
I gave away or sold a lot of stuff before I came out to Catalonia.

I also prefer well-made things that last. It feels more ethical than buying things that get thrown away sooner. That said, I treated myself to a robovac recently and it's been great. Unfortunately the ones that don't collect data - and that's not negotiable for me - are at the bottom of the market and it's starting to wear out already.

Good evening everyone


So happy things are going well

I hope to establish a habit in the chickens before too long. It would be great if they were a little more relaxed about it.

I've got a broom.
I could do with a vacuum cleaner.

Oh yes! Please do!
I love admiring tea pots etc. I was admiring this morning's one until you said it had a dribbly spout and then I just couldn't any more.

It really takes the shine off the whole tea session. I used to have a small stainless steel pot with a sharp spout but as I was packing to move here, I dropped it and broke its handle. The pretty one is its replacement. It was a freebie because the union gave me (and everyone else) a gift voucher that year, so I feel a bit churlish complaining about its spout.

I wouldn't recommend a robovac in a house that chickens visit regularly

 

[MaryJanet]

You are clever enough to figure this out very quickly. Great job!

I hope Peggy's getting enough enzymes. She hasn't dropped a poop in my vicinity since her appointment. I need to put myself on poop watch patrol

The milk jug is adorable! I too enjoy your pretty tea sets. And I notice there is a chicken tea towel...way to go, MJ!

It's a good one! It was a gift from an old friend she wanted to support me in my chickening

I like her designs! Simple, homely and beautiful.
