Ribh's D'Coopage

WEDNESDAY WHEREVER.:caf
No chookies this morning. It's as dark as hades out there & the rain is dropping from the sky in bucketloads. The cats are disgusted & I can hear the girls complaining round the side of the house. The cats have taken to sleeping on my next 2 projects now the weather is cooling off.
Question???: Has anyone seen @Aussie-Chookmum recently?

Happy Wednesday friend!

It's a quiet morning here. Cardigan weather.

But the hens and cat have me on my toes.

On a "normal" morning, the hens all migrate from the coop to the run in a group. But for some reason known only to the hens, today's special.

First Blossom couldn't wait until the chooks had eaten and sat down to go outside. So I let her out as unobtrusively as I could. Janet spotted action at the back door and started running circles, which is sign language for "I'm ready to come out now" so I attempted to let the hens out and shepherd them across into the big run. Only Janet agreed. Peggy kept on with her breakfast. Mary kept on watching Peggy. Ivy hadn't even come down from the roost yet. So I went back inside. 10 minutes later I noticed Janet looking across at her friends, so I looked too and saw Peggy tormenting Mary. Right. I provided another chance for the remaining three to go across to the big run. Peggy said ok. Mary said I'm not following her, she's a b**** and Ivy said I'm still in bed.

So now there are two feisty hens in the run and two quiet hens in the big coop.

Ah! I just heard Ivy jump down off the roost, so that's a step in the right direction.

With 30 minutes until I need to be in the car, I hope the two slow pokes are filling their tummies and thinking about freedom.

Oh, gosh, yes! :barnie There are days I wish I really spoke chook so I could ask...What the heck...?

Well, my 1st lot of Writing results are back. Seeing that's my major I rather need to pass these courses. Apparently I can write a coherent & grammatically correct sentence. I would certainly hope so by this stage in life!!! 🤣 I completely blew the citations ~ & am still not sure what I need to do. It was very different when I did my 1st degree. I need to clarify that. At least I citated the work. 🙄 Apparently I need to develop my ideas a little more but as I have not enjoyed this subject, AT ALL, I'm afraid boredom got the better of me. However a pass is a pass & not to be sneezed @ ~ & not a bad pass @ that, but it & the Archaeology passes have given me the confidence boost I needed. Now it is just a matter of settling in & doing the hard yards. Thank goodness for chickens & cats who don't care a fig about any of it!
Congratulations! What referencing system does your course use? There’s about a hundred of them and naturally they’re all a little different. 🙄 Is that what they’re talking about when they mention the citations? Or is it in-text referencing/foot-notes/end-notes? When I first did some distance uni study I totally stuffed the referencing as I had never been taught how to do it (yes, I’m part of the generation that was never taught grammar, or how to structure an essay :he ). Did they give you any feedback on what you needed to do?

I'm supposed to be using MLA ~ no idea...:confused: What I was taught 1st time round was footnoting. I did look it up but obviously have not understood something. Plus there's the whole internet referencing thing as well. No feedback on the citations except to say I did it wrong. :idunnoProbably not helped by changing states for uni. I've always found Qld & NSW quite different in their approach to education.

Hmmm... I hope she is OK.
 
Hi Ribh. Just popping in. I haven't been able to keep up on Bob's thread, let alone ours, MJs or Shad's. I hope all is well and will try to do a little catching up.
I can't keep up either, Michelle. I've pretty much had to let Bob's thread go. I don't have time to read 20~30 pages a day on just one thread. MJ keeps hers @ a readable level & mine's a bit hit & miss depending on what we find to talk about.
