MJ's little flock

[Sussex19]

Well maybe she can have a scrambled egg back for excuses. She's very pretty, is she Sussex ?

We can probably do something like that! I do feel a bit bad for just presuming she wasn't laying, but she has had a few issues with thin shells and then not laying for a while before, so yeah...
She is a light sussex, and around two years old.

So you are another retired Ado Annie like Mrs BY Bob.

Classic!

I'm the same. I've spent most of my month off cleaning the house in one way or another. Now the Red Marauders are out of the laundry, I've been able to rehabilitate it a little. It still needs a thorough mopping, but otherwise it's looking good. I finished removing and sorting everything from the cellar, I've been cleaning it (just a little more to do), I put together a big IKEA shelving unit down there and have started putting things back again. The one job I really wanted to achieve, I haven't even started yet: the roost. But I think I can push through with that next week when the weather is a little less roasting. I've also been enjoying the time off by going out to lunch nearly every day and taking lots of rest.

Sounds wonderful! Did the cellar yield more treasures?

Yes. Six lovely bread plates with two matching sandwich trays. A lamp. Another six bread plates with one matching sandwich tray. Red and white striped canisters. And a cast iron basket for fruit (I guess). And some artworks we recalled from childhood. Various other things that have slipped my mind.

Here's Mary!

She's happy now the cool of the evening is settling in.

Mary is beautiful!
She has quite a regal look about her, how old is she?

How are Babs and Eli getting along @RoyalChick ?

Awww - thanks for asking. They are doing great! But they are crazy creatures - still very wild and roosting up in the rafters.
You might enjoy this.
