Jonny's in Trouble

Taken aside by one of Jonny's classmates mother. Jonny has been saying to his friend John what to say when anyone gets in their way

"Move out of the way you git goddamit"

Ooops - didn't get that one from me - must be daddy!

Luckly the mother saw the funny side of it - Jonny had already taught her son to say "for gods sake".

Hope I don't get dragged up in front of the headmaster - wouldn't be the first time.

Words were had with me when my delightful daughter did a moonie at someone in the playground because they would'nt let her join in. Can't wait until she is 16.

Having a Blonde Moment

Feel a bit of an idiot - when I telephoned to make Daphne's appointment for the vet I only dialled the wrong number and telephoned the doctors for a chicken appointment - daft or what - strange thing is it is easier to get an appointment for a chicken than a child??!!

Little update on Daphne - she had a jab and is now on two pills a day for 3 days - she looks so much better and is bobbling about like her old self.

PS How do you get a chicken to take a tablet?
Pop it in a piece of cheese - easy - so if you ever need to give a chicken a pill you know what to do.

Daphne a Bit Peeky

My beloved first chicken Daphne is a bit peeky - I am off to the vets with her this morning - I wonder whether the hot weather has upset her - last night she came and sat with me all evening - she loved having the cold fan on her and dozed off. Just hope she will be alright as she is a very special chicken to me. Zollie was a bit surprised when he came in to see a chicken in the house. Didn't enjoy my dinner last night as we had roast chicken - I told Daphne to look away when I took it out of the oven.

No Fear

Kids have had a great weekend playing on the new waterslide in the garden - they are both completley fearless and come down it backwards, forwards, sideways. Only wish I could go down it but I am touch too big for it.

Rollerblades

Well I finally caved into Rhea pressure and got her a pair of rollerblades - Rhea being Rhea wanted to be able to do jumps and spins straight away - anyway with a little practice I think she will master it - here are her first goes.

Its a Cat Thing - Giving Presents

Well the night before last I was blissfully asleep about 4am I could feel Pansy my cat jumping around on my duvet I then realised she was jumping after something - well I woke up put the light on and low and behold she had brought a mouse on to the bed and was happily pouncing on it - great just the way you need to woken up - so I quickly caught the mouse and set it free out the front door. Thanks Pansy for that - good thing I don't mind mice. Anyway, I get up the next morning and she has kindly laid out a dead mouse on the floor on my side of the bed - thanks Pansy for that present. I know it is my birthday coming up but I don't want anything small and furry!!! I have figured out how she keeps opening the door to come upstairs in the night - the catch on the door does not click in unless you really pull it hard - so from now on that door is going to be firmly shut.
