I do direct access so I get mine sent to me...much cheaper then sending it through insurance.

Thanks DMC, I was so surprised to see them. I was beginning to think the girls were going on permanent retirement.
you folks ever feel a bit overwhelmed after missing a couple days on BYC? I don't think I'll ever get caught up with the new folks I've missed.
Don't worry so much about the ones you missed. Welcome 5 to 10 at a time and it will be great!
Good job on greeting!
I hate that. The other night I went to bed and 2 of the cats started fussing at each other (read Samantha was hissing/yowling/gagging at Christofur who snuck up on her) about 15 minutes after I fell asleep. BAD TIMING, basically power nap length and I was awake for another 2 hours.
Good Morning Friends 
Thank you all for the kind comments and likes on the garden.
sunflour great news on the Wellies!
The Platies are bigger than the Guppies that are already in the pond. Yeah, the smaller fish are making a change from the gold fish we used to have in Brisbane, but they are less ‘dirty’ too. The ponds are still nice to watch as you see flashes of colour as the little Guppies swim around and being prolific breeders, the pond will always have activity of some description to watch.
I suffer from tinnitus so I like to have the TV on as it helps to distract me from the ringing. Being in the garden does help though because then the mind is focused on other things. Silence is definitely not golden in my life
CF While we did not lose any gold fish to Herons because the girls used to warn me when one was in the garden, they were always a concern. I agree that they are not going to bother trying to pick off Guppies.
Hey Michelle sorry, I have only ever put bantam eggs under my broody bantams and never more than 8. No incubator experience.
MrsMistyReal Yep, I remember!
I hope you have [had] an enjoyable day at your sisters DMC.
My best wishes to your wife Ron.
NickyKnack sorry to hear you have been unwell but happy you are now feeling better.
Diva do not start me on “women have to do everything”! I was just thinking about how pretty much all hubby and FIL did yesterday was sit in front of their computers while I mowed and gardened and today, while I do the housework, clean the bathroom, vacuum, do washing etc, they will sit in front of their computers. Hubby does do stuff around the place, like the catio etc but while I am doing stuff all weekend, every weekend, he just does it when the mood strikes him and FIL even less so.
KD Libby is so cute and adorable!
Congrats on the beautiful eggs N F C
Happy hatching Jae!
rjohns39 Yep, I feel overwhelmed if I miss 1 day; especially the Greets.
So, usual plans for today, finish the housework, washing, grocery shopping but because of the overnight rain I only need to water plants that are under cover, no lawn or outside plants etc. Most of the morning is going to be spent trying not to shout “Either of you ever feel the urge to at least help a bit” while wiping off the sweat due to a 93F predicted maximum! If it was just my ‘mess’ it would be OK but I am not the only one who uses the bathroom and kitchen etc and it is not my dog dropping beach sand everywhere!
Oh and LuLu, Crystal and Dusty are moulting; poor babies … they are currently in a competition to see who can leave more feathers in the coop and run; Crystal is winning but Dusty is winning the ‘Impersonate a Vulture’ competition with no feathers on her head!!

I was happy that I went months without missing a new person... New job takes me away from the computer and consulting on the side takes more time and I got like three pages behind. I love reading why people joined us as it's fun and entertaining and occasionally heart breaking. In the end, it's something I really enjoy.
ETA: Those of us who are birdaholics are the only ones who can understand the addiction.
There are just soooo many new people joining every day! I missed about a day & a half and felt miles behind. Sometimes it just can't be helped Bob, all we can do is what we can and that's good enough.
I have been greeting quite a bit lately and have notices a big increase in new members for sure!
