MJ's little flock

[LozzyR]

If anyone wants prawns here the lads take a boat out Christmas morning. They arrive here still jumping...

If anything is still moving, that’s just freshness!

I wouldn't know MJ. I know lobster is big this year; crab prices have plummeted but then a late order came through for crab from Sydney & the lads were scrambling to pack if a flight was available... I gotta wonder about some people.

My son and I were at the local shopping centre this morning and we bumped into a friend. We commented on how chaotic it was and he pointed to the line at the fish market, it was a good 50m (54 yards) long! Glad we weren’t buying prawns!

An update on my soft shell eggs. The avian vet had no appointments left before Christmas but was amazing spending time with me on the phone and telling me what to do with no payment required. Since then I have not had another soft shell egg and all 4 ladies are now laying!! Such an exciting Christmas present!! It turns out I thought I was doing the correct thing by feeding lots of fruit and veg leftovers from the house. I thought this would be really healthy for them but vet told me to stop for awhile so they only have the layer pellets and to add calcium with Vit D to their water every day for a week and then once a week after that - problem solved!! Not many vets would take time on the phone at such a busy time of year. I was impressed and thankful. I now know that ‘treats’ include household scraps not just meal worms, wheat and corn so will provide in small amounts occasionally. Thank you all for your support and setting my chickens on a healthier path. It is a steep learning curve!!
I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas.

You think that's bad, you should see what the government is doing to the American people during this pandemic. For being a "superpower" of the world we suck at taking care of our people. I've seriously thought about leaving the country, but I know I would never be able to take Anna with me and that is just not an option.

I've been watching the whole sorry affair on various news sites. What concerns me is the worst is yet to come.
It isn't much better here in Spain. While the government isn't givng quite as much money away to it's mates, the supposed relief payments don't seem to exist. I know quite a few young people in particular who are entitled to these payments but after months of applying, still haven't received a cent.
In some respects I'm fortunate in that I only have to look out for myself.....and the chickens and ducks of course.
Families, where all the wage earners have been put out of work through one reason or another just can't survive without help.

We forgot the shopping list last shopping day. Had to get youngest to text us a photo of it.

Clever solution. I've started writing it on my phone because I rarely forget the phone.

I feel the same way when my eggs are still warm when using them!
