Check out my fashion... Check out my style.


Toes with a bit of Bling.......

Egg Bound


2 eggs a day - not bad.

Big Fatty Hair


Astou chose the Silkie as she said they had 'big fatty hair' like her and Madani. Only trouble is one of them's got a bad leg and looks like it might croak any minute!

Chicken Run


Went to the market again and got some more chickens. They're not really settled yet. Got 3 Wyandottes, 2 Silkies and I can't remember the name of the other one, a cross between a pheasant and a chicken!

Easter Bunnies


They've been, they've been, they've been.
They came and went and the dog ate most of the chocolate!

Don't count your chickens before they're massacred!


Went to market - bought some lovely chickens. Had just got them all settled in nicely, was getting a couple of eggs a day. When my friend came round for a coffee one morning - her dog ripped them all to shreds in less then 2 minutes. Neighbour had to come and cut the cockerill's throat to finish him off, as I coudn't face it. Him and his wife then plucked them for me and helped me to cook them. Was chicken casserole and 'coq au vin' for the rest of the week. Didn't tell the kids what they were eating, but did tell them that 'Tulip' our dog's sister had killed them. All Astou did was sulk as she'd wanted to see the bodies and all the blood and gore.

Bats in the belfry


Was taking the tiles off the barn roof when came across this little critter!

Yo! Kinky Afro


Just thought Astou looked cool here!

Smile


Know it's not the way to do it - no posts in nearly 3 months and then a flurry. But kids are with their dad for a week so have finally got a second to myself. Despite the rain in Belgium we did get to see Lily Allen. It was pretty crap actually - why am I surprised - no smoking and full of 16yr olds. Maybe I should accept that I'm no longer one of the kids. Still hung around tour bus and got a poster for Astou - is it wrong for a 4yr old to have a pop idol already? Especially when I have to sing loudly and badly over all Lily's expletives!

Brussel Sprouts


Went to Belgium - took the train - all it did was rain.
