The chickens turned up yesterday. The kids were excited from first thing in th morning. Jacob was up and ready at about 7am, he was going to “watch out” for the chickens delivery; which we already knew would be about 2pm!

They turned up around 3pm. The nice man from Omlet built the Eglu and then gave us the run down on looking after our new egg machines.

They seemed to settle alright; got a little agitated at around 10pm when then couldn’t quite work out where to roost. I placed a torched in the Eglu ( as the nice man had suggested ) and that seemed to do the trick. We decided to close the door on them while they get themselves sorted and into a routine.

Rebekah was still awake and watching them from her bedroom! She was also up at 5am to open the door and let them out!

How far do you let your mind wander? As you got about your day-to-day business, do you allow your mind to follow the path of least resistance? Do you allow it to explore the depths of things usually hidden, searching for answers, searching for questions? Can you sit and listen to music, close your eyes and wonder where your mind will end up? Floating high like a kite, soaring like and eagle, and other cliched metaphors. Reflect on things past. Ponder on things to come.

I do…

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I’ve set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
oh, let’s go back to the start

Running in circles
Comet tails
Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Come tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
All in a rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Comin’ back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start…

We got chickens coming… we’ve ordered an Eglu from Omlet with two chickens. They should be with us by 27th May!!!!

Flying with Ryan Air

One must remember when choosing to fly with low budget carrier Ryan
Air that they are shockingly shit!

Their planes are the most ghastly that I have flown on for a very long time. And they must insist on bombarding you with adverts every five minutes. I know that they need to make up the ticket price somehow but in future I think that I would rather pay the premium and fly with another carrier!
