rog, you were perhaps au boulot when this aired.
Dylan Winter's interlude on battery chicken handover and their remarkable re-adaptation rate was a joy. His own delight was palpable as the chickens, initially unable to stand on the grass of their new home, soon managed and instinctively behaved, for the first time, in chicken-y ways.

Hey, young lady - what are you doing still out of bed now

Maybe my magnetic field is fouling up others things mot - NatWest cards WILL NOT register on various sites. Was taking pics and printing out to show my nice Bank man, Simon. He uses same ones all the time and bought/sold using his own identical ones at Christmas. I get repeated 'WRONG' messages, from all sorts of sites, Hostelling International, Speedferries, Amazon, although HMV is alright. Needs sorting for reasons of income.

I was, indeed, al' lavoro, when this was shown, but our last 'girls' were 'end of lay ex-battery' hens. It was a pleasure to watch them 'adapt' to a life of freedom, and five of the six went on to live, happily, for another five years, rewarding us with a supply of the finest eggs you can imagine - most were 'double-yolkers'. Their 'alternative' ending does not bear contemplation.

Sorry, mot, for going off-topic - I hope you are well, this morning.

Not off-topic, rog - mot anticipates such pleasures in 'Start of Our New Life!'.
When A&I conversed this a.m., I could hear girls in b/g, so A took 'me' nearer and I talked to them in the chicken-y 'BAAAAAwrk-bokboks', to which they react most intelligently.
He accuses me of siren-ing best layer to her watery demise thus - it is untrue.
Yes, re:most being double yolkers; occasional triples.
I've just kicked off, have to play three matches this arvo.
France/Wales;Wales/France - still can't decide.

it would be good if wales won this year.

....et oui, I'd like that, too - sorry mot, everyone. Poor Ireland have had a ghastly time from World Cup onwards.
Should NEVER have sacked me, a.k.a. Warren Gatland, as last weekend showed.
.......mit tayto's jillie?
I won't tell........(anyone except LW19)

Hope you're making it an easy-peasy time for yourself today, mot.
But I know you'll be visiting J, for which hugs to you, especially afterwards, should her sad(temporary)situation hit home on you.
i-t, is the man to meet afterward to ensure that the loving care you have dispensed can be replenished four-fold.
Love to you all this afternoon.

Postscript: i-t has done very well indeed and beaten Scotland!

jillie1974

well... the Taytos are now finished so am going to be healthy and make some popcorn instead...

Hi all,

Yes visited J this morning. The whole Mental Health Unit is locked and every door has to unlocked by a member of staff - so no escaping for the inmates :rolleyes: . J is ok, seems very together but I think its because she now feels that someone is listening to her and helping her to get better. She could be out in a few days but it may also be a couple of weeks depending on how she reacts to the medication, they have to find the right balance for her. Its a very austere place and hit both myself and her Aunt who came with me (I say Aunt but she is only 4 years older than J!!). There was a woman pacing up and down the corridors all the time we were there. The staff look like the inmates as they are dressed casually, the only way you know they are staff is by the keys and key cards hanging from their belts! When we came out T and I had to just sit for a few minutes in the car to get over the visit. It looks like J will get daily help from the CMHT when she comes which is just what is needed to help her to get herself back together. We actually all had a chat about the 'joys' of bringing up adolescent children - which actually was great for me because it made me realise that I am a good Mum and that my kids are perfectly normal:D .

Ampersand, have done my ironing this pm whilst watching Goodnight Mr Tom and snivelling at various parts - missed the end though as had to collect twins from swimming! F is reading the book and I had never actually watched the film before so I still don't know what happened .

I-T cooking chicken curry for us tonight :T his CC is superb!!! And I think we'll be settling down to watch the Andrew Lloyd Webber Oliver thingy on BBC1.

Off to my Dad and Step Mum's for lunch tomorrow - please God don't let it be bl**dy stirfry again its Sunday please let it be a roast .

Raining again here now, still we're all tucked in for the night so it could lash it down and we wouldn't mind!
