she has just come out of her bedroom very pleased with herself as she has dressed herself. a brown skirt and a purple t shirt. she says it's her work clothes like daddy (i must add DH does not go to work in a skirt!!)

i did wonder if he's the bloke that i've occasionally seen walking round my work place in a skirt and top!

glad the chickens are still ok even if they're still keeping a bit of space, it's probably for the best, you don't want to become bessie mates with someone only to find out later on down the line that they pick their teeth, or smell, or snore or something do you?

good luck with your PhD work.

One section ready for reviewing I think.

to girls not making chums so quickly -

Off to find a bit of lunch and crack on later.

Pancakes for lunch here Will be pancakes for tea too unless I tog up and get out for something else :rotfl: (actually, that's not true, I could easily last for a couple of weeks (but would need milk for tea of course!) but everything else requires Proper Cooking :rotfl:)

Well done on finishing your section! :T :T

Hi all
Hugs to all you snowed up people.
We seem to be getting away with it in the sense of very little snow but colder than most places.
I'm relieved to have got the 'wayne rooney ankle brace' on monday. I'm not sure what it's really called but it's one of them thingys that sportsmen with wrecked ankles get to wear. It's not pretty but gives me some much needed stability.
I keep feeding the poor starving birds who seem to be very grateful.
Pippi , my Physio had 2 of her chickens decapiitated in the hen house at the weekend.. They found a Harris Hawk eating one but it got away. They then rang some 'Bird of Prey ' society who said it was posssibly a captive bred one that had escaped and wasn't doing well and if they could catch it they would call and collect. Cue her husband lying on the ground for 3 hours with a dead chook on a piece of string and a large net. Amazingly he caught the hawk (and probably hypothermia) and it's now gone of to be looked after and fed. It's clearly not just us that do odd things. She said thanks for the egg freezing stuff too.

3 hours greenval? Now that's some dedication!!

LT do you really work with a bloke who wears skirts?

Cheery_Daff

Goodness greenval - dedication indeed! Glad it's being looked after.

I reckon most blokes would wear a skirt given half a chance - and why not? They're much more pleasant than trousers

That is amazing! It shows a lot of love for the chookies and patience to actually catch the hawk :T. I would have been sat inside in the warm saying you haven't got a chance in hell of catching that hawk, all you will catch is pneumonia so just come back in :rotfl:

At one time my local charity shop was run by this amazing transvestite - he was brilliant, like a grown up Grayson Perry, no concessions whatsoever to the blue rinse brigade

GV well done to your friend!

men in skirts up here we call those kilts.

Apols if a bit out of it - I'm a bit 'blerughish' (study related) forgotten how it use to feel to know whatever you do it will undoubtedly be wrong.

Hey ho - sooner its done, sooner they can tell me how I've done it wrong and (eventually) sooner I can get my life back.

Oh so cynical. Anyhow - glad you're all ok and keeping warm I hope - more snow here - not as much as Lucielle!

All hens in bed - spent 3-4 quid on veg and milk today I picked up the boys from school getting out of here was tricky to say the least - aside that nothing spent.
