MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

Well, I've just been talking to the copper who arrested the house break-in bloke on Saturday night. Turns out he's got two nasty habits: drugs and gambling. Anyway, I didn't get a good look at his face, only his stature and hair, so they can't use me to identify him. He was last arrested in 2018. Most of his victims were elderly and sneaking through bathroom windows was his raison d'etre. In the end, they used a police dog to locate him as he hid on someone's property.

I am very glad he is off the streets. I bet you sleep well tonight.

But that's good. Every day a hen doesn't lay an egg is one more day of life. Try looking at it like that.

I do. Trust me long life is the top of my list of desires right now for them o. I am just missing the delicious eggs as well.

I definitely think that way about Diana. Although I worry about her hard molt in December and that she is roosting alone during it, I am very happy she is putting all her energy into staying warm and growing feathers and not into laying eggs.
I don't feel quite the same way about the Roadrunners because they are episodic egg layers even in summer and so I am quite relieved to see a perfect blue egg as it is a sign everything is working OK.

It's a big relief. I was more relaxed than I've been since the attempted break in.

The cop said he weighs 40 kilos. It's hard to imagine someone's life being so devoid of ... I can't find the right word. Maybe self respect is what I'm getting at. If he's in the habit of abusing drugs then he's probably ruined his own brain, at least for the time being, and therefore can't make wise decisions. It's like a self-inflicted disability. He needs to be on a growth path and staying in custody for a while might actually be an opportunity for him to escape his shitty habits and get some hope.

That said, I'm also glad the elderly folks will be safer now. I hope the word that he's been caught spreads through the community. And I'm glad the cops were able to do their best and achieve a good outcome.

The break-in put me into a slight emotional slump and I lost the drive to get up and dance, but I'm pleased to say I found it again this morning.

The songs were

• Do you realise by The Flaming Lips
• 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
• Blame it on my wild heart by Stevie Nicks and her sister
• Waterloo sunset by Bowie
• Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel
• Bizarre love triangle by New Order
• Tear in your hand by Tori Amos

I felt creaky but good

You can see Mary's spurs clearly in this photo

You wouldn't think such a doe-eyed darling would be carrying knives on her ankles

And here's a previous post for a comparison.

And a very early post when her spurs were tiny nubs.
