Started the week with the demise of a chicken. . Poor little soul. I think I might not get any more marans, I don't seem to have the best luck with them, though one of my favs is my own maran cross and I do love the big brown eggs. I have to think about these decisions to me made over winter about what new stock to bring in next year.

where is carolt?

This morning was GORGEOUS. The mist was so heavy and the ice crunchy and fresh. It took ages to defrost the car and reminded me to chase the salt we ordered for this winter.

Do you know I was thinking the same on my walk to work this morning. Sunglasses on, frost crunching under my feet, being able to see my breath in the air. Crisp n fresh - lovely!:)

As a mere male, I find it difficult to comment on a dress without a body in it.
Type of job is important too
It must be a nightmare having to make all these choices and then find something that fits - no wonder th efemale spends half as much again as the male on its clothing budget.

Hm... you sound very fashion concious to me. My thought processess go "Are they clothes?" YES >>> "Put them on" >>> "Have I got enough clothes on to avoid arrest" >>> YES >>> "VROOM. Out the door"

It was the first really deep frost here, looked out the window and it was allmost like it had snowed.



Am learning the programming language python. Have been working through a beginner textbook. It is surprisingly easy, which suggests it is going to get a whole lot harder later on.

Think even I know what

print "Hello, World"

is gonna do.

This area's changing, it was a nice, quiet residential street.... but since 2007 a couple of guesthouses/hotels have been demolished (still scruffy plots now) - and a bunch of large Victorian terraces turned into HMOs. Over the summer, during the evenings, I noticed that the "rowdy/drunk town noise" was much closer - and some of the HMOs would sit in the front yard area until late at night playing bongos/being noisy. But this week we've also had a mini crime wave. One car somebody tried to start but failed; another had a satnav and phone stolen from it.... then overnight a car's been put up on bricks and its tyres nicked and another one's had a hit/run, or it was dumped after being stolen and in a hit/run (not sure which until the gossips fill me in the details). The road's only about 30 houses long/400 yards or so.

Feral scum are gaining more ground.

Woman going somewhere: What colour? Dress, separates, trousers? Shoes flat, mid, high - what flooring will I be walking on, how far? Can't walk on sand in high heels, can't walk 2 miles or stand on grass in them. Do those shoes work with that dress? e.g. you can't have flat shoes in a sparkly dress or you'd look like a butch lesbian. And that's just the start. Long dress, mid length, short? How do those shoes look with that? What colour tights? Shawl, cardigan, jacket, shrug? What about a handbag? Small/large handbag, plain or sparkly? Clutch bag or one with a strap?

And that's just to go to Tesco

We constantly get emails from the local policeman reminding people not to leave valuables in cars.

OH got into his car weeks ago to find someone had been there before him. No sign of a break-in, we suspect they had a copy electronic door opener. Evidence was all the storage pockets open, the glove compartment open and the CDs thrown on the passenger seat; they obviously didn't approve of his taste in music.

I've been down and cleared my car out now... it just had random personal things in that I'd rather not have in the hands of a ne'er do well, or dumped in bushes as unimportant. When I've been for interviews, or similar, needing to bring with me evidence of who I am/recent phone bills/bank statement etc, also a couple of relevant certificates and an old CRB certificate. I've often tended to have them in a document case which I then toss under the seat ... so I went out and cleared the car of everything, just in case.

At least now if they break into it I know they can only get away with a plastic knife (couldn't reach that without effort), a local map and a box of Basics White Tissues.

Anyone stealing my car would get a massive haul of crisp packets, biscuit fragments, shiny beads, instructions from the freebie toys that come with kids' fast food, empty water bottles and other such things in the back, (oh and two booster seats as well), and a collection of jumpers, fleeces, gloves, letters from school asking parents to send kids with £1 for a cake sale next Friday etc and a first aid kit in the front.

Must admit, we don't always lock our car, but no one in their right mind would steal it.

Around here, we have a sort of crime warning system, where the police first email an old lady, and she then writes the message on old envelopes and posts these through people's doors. I can't recall having had one for months. The last one related to a gang who'd been removing people's catalytic convertors at dead of night.
Sounds like hard and difficult work to me.

Last winter, 39 sheep were rustled close to the village, in broad daylight. People are still talking about it.

I'm afraid our foster sheep aren't locked in. Tom was asking what they are, and I can now confirm they're Suffolk crosses. There's a Charollais ram with them atm, so the lambs should have Mid-Channel accents (or should that be Chanel?)
