    Must do that list as I've done f'all today aside rush out of my pj's for 3pm coffee/late lunch and then walk at the local wee bonnie place which was overrun with folks

    But they asked plant questions so I let them off.

    :)

    OK so Haggis tried to poop on someone's foot - but he didn't really mean it.

    He is a fiend!

    In very exciting news - if its 20 days til we move then its probably 21(ish) days until I have chooks again.

    Does a very happy dance. I've been offered some hens from up here but don't think its fair to travel them so I'm off to neb about who's around our area doing chooks and make contact.

    My birthday raspberries are enroute to a chum in Stirlingshire to babysit for me until I get there

    :)
