It should be. I have the morning off and plan to relax and read for leisure. I may even do so outside with the flock.

That sounds like a wonderful plan enjoy yourself and don't think about what's happening in the world!!

I really am trying not to.

 

[RoyalChick]

That's good to know.

That is good to know. My eye doctor says I don't absolutely need them yet but it won't be long before I do.

My lenses tend to end up rather scratched. I have a cat who likes to push my glasses around my face & that's before I drop them in the chook pen & accidently trample them. I am very hard on my glasses but I need to carry them with me for any close up jobs. I haven't got brave enough to try bifocals yet. They look like migraine material to me.

I am near sighted and need my glasses to find where I put my glasses (or indeed not to walk into walls).

We've had a big day too. The man's back has been giving him curry so he had about 6 shots along his spine then a trip to the scan people. I had minor surgery. We both had our annual [& very late] eye tests done & ordered our new glasses. I've ordered thin lenses instead of the coke bottles I've been wearing & much bigger glasses. I hate feeling like I've got small old lady glasses perched on my nose! Chook food yarn & finally home to let the girls out & the cats in. They had a door open but hadn't found it... Now I need coffee, coffee, coffee...

I hope your husbands back improves with the shots...that does not sound like a good time! I also hope you heal up from your surgery with no issues!

First it was Morrigu...

Then Ha'penny & Aoife came to supervise but obviously I can't be trusted to do anything properly on my own! Morrigu, Patricia, Wrold & Mhari felt I needed some help.

Yep. They know the new feed bag when they see it & were anxiously pooling round my feet while I figured out which bit of the thread to pull & upend it all into our big blue bin. I live in terror of losing control of one of those heavy bags & drowning a chicken in crumble!

Even Luna felt the need to help me out.

Quality control is important when it comes to the food supply... Love your girls!

 

[Shadrach]

I knew after I'd posted that you'd be all over it! You are a funny man!

You know I can't help myself.

 

[Ribh]

Another tick! That's crazy. How icky did you feel after rubbing it? I've got the wilburs again.

I'm freaking out here. The ISAs cleared them out & we were tick free for years even after the ISAs demise. This lot are bringing them home! Beatha is such a quiet, self sufficient little chookie I could easily never have noticed anything was wrong until it was way too late.

Oh goody! What are you reading?

Roosting time, bring them in the house and check them over.

Yes, but there are a couple of problems with that. I really need strong natural light to see properly these days. We have good lighting throughout the house but it's still not good enough for things like splinters & ticks. The good news is most of my girls can be caught & handled relatively easily. Morrigu is completely feral but the least likely probably to get one.
