19th July 2012 - (Day 12, Emma)

After my last whinge about not seeing able to sit outside, I decided that my pregnant wife needed to do some work so we took Piper for a walk when I got back from work and now I am sitting in the garden (see above) updating this page with the ladies scratching at the herb-garden and borders; and Emma cooking supper.

As you can see from the next few pics, they are really enjoying the freedom. I wish we could leave them out like this all day but Emma's worried about Red Kites and cats and i don't know if she's wrong...

(Comments greatly received)

You'll be surprised to know that we're having eggs for supper tonight. We've had 3 today -

1 from Doris (becoming too complacent about these now)

1 from Myrtle (we decided that yesterday's brown egg was Myrtle's because of all the commotion that was coming from the coop when she was in it - Emma was worried that someone was dying!)

and 1 from Mabel. (another brown egg, a little lighter than the Myrtle's)

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take a pic of them this time because Emma's whisked them away (see what i did there...? Whisked....? No...? Wasted on you)

but I will for next time.

That's it from me. Dinner is calling...
