Pre-pandemic i decided to walk to work from my bf’s one day. Normally I only stayed there at the weekend, so would drive to work on monday and then drive home after work, but i was there in the week for some reason. It’s a mile and a half. Got to work, realised I’d forgotten my pass because i keep it in the car. No issue, someone will let me in. Got into the office, realised my laptop was in my locker and my locker key is on my lanyard. Ffs. Had to walk straight back again.

(decided to drive back because walking 4.5 miles in more or less one go was a bit more than I’m used to!)

Project Manager in upstate New York called to ask me if I could cover a two day project in September of this year. I’ll let you know in August pal, sheesh.

She did! July, maybe? Was the day after I’d dug a new pond so definitely in the summer.

Ruffers went about 6 weeks ago too. RIP.

I think Welly (the previous garden kween) was 13 when she pecked her final lettuce just before Xmas.

10-12 is good for a pure breed hen.

I had no idea!

Drowned! :sob::sob::sob:

had no idea they lived that long
my auntie’s kept chickens for 20 years but a bunch of them have ended up being killed by foxes :frowning:

Not a pond-related passing unto the great seed trough in the sky

Put socks on this morning with red and green toes, and only just noticed that I had put them on in the correct arrangement for them to be compliant with international aircraft position light code (green on the right side, red on the left side).

:frowning: Thankfully we’ve never had a fox on the premises - which is surprising as the chucks run free around a field during the day apart from the ones who hop into the garden, lawn, driveway, house, garage etc. Often find one floating across the pool in the summer (they can swim). All get locked away in little coops after sunset, all got their own preferred places to be. I know for sure we’ve had a couple head off into the woods and not return, and one we found feathery remains of after she buggered off. Don’t think foxes like the dog (or the deer).

My socks are space themed and the ankle is the moon and there’s an astronaut on the moon/ankle
