MJ's little flock

Do you know what breeds they will be or is it a surprise? Or will they be bit of this, a bit of that?

They will be heritage breeds, but a surprise mix of 3

What will happen is the people who specifically want this breed or that breed will get their pullets first, then I'll have 3 of the leftovers. I think that's what their team name might be: "The Leftovers" Or "The Mixed Lollies" I can't make up my mind.

Their individual names will be drawn from the family women as usual. Katie, Christa, and Lorna if they fit.

Otherwise, I'll recall some other family women to name them.

Poor milk bottles! I don't think they're as bad as I remember.

Strawberries and cream were always a hit with me.

Oh, I thought "lollies" meant lollipops! Obviously not!

I understand now that it's what we call "candy."

I wish Ribh was here to comment! She's likes to comment on how we share a language but we don't really share a language

Maybe Australians are using the words lollies because its an English term? But then who says sweets? Isn't sweets the English term?

Yes, the Brits say 'sweets'.

I wonder where we got "lollies" from?

I'm going to spend a few hours this afternoon sitting in the backyard, just being.

I spend a lot of time doing just that . Before we came here I was afraid I would get bored or lonely but it's just the opposite, the more I do nothing the more I enjoy it !

I love each of the individual names especially Lorna (because of Lorna Doone). Mixed lollies sounds really good, and I didn't know the word.
Where did you buy them ? Here they were (probably still are) sold in bakeries. When we were sent to buy the bread as kids once in a while we were given (or found some ludicrous way to earn) some spare cents to get some .
Prepare yourself for some crazy excitement and worries !
