Hot!
It’s hot at the moment. For the last three days we’ve had a yellow alert for heat. We do have some shading to hang in the patio, however it’s difficult to find time to do it when it’s not too…

It’s been a sad week
without Bob. While I knew he was very ill, I just assumed he would get better and even when we were at the vets for the last time, part of me was expecting the vet to say he was getting…
Bob – A Small Step Back

… is what Limpy, our cockerel is (probably) saying to himself at the moment. Both the ladies have gone broody – in separate barns, leaving him on his own with no one to hang out with. Silkies are mega-brooders, so…
The Inside Story
I’ve spent the last day or so staring at the inside of a human body – although happily not a real one, a 3d model of a skeleton. Yuck. Over the last two and a bit years I’ve been learning…
