When the temperature drops…
Damn my short feathers, originally uploaded by Dixiebean.
…so do Dita’s feathers. Once again, the daft little Pekin has chosen to moult now that the weather’s started to turn a bit chilly. She seems to be feeling a little self conscious about her rapidly balding head, hiding away from the camera behind the last of the [...]

Vegging out
Is it possible that my lack of bloggery could be down to spending too much time eating instead? An afternoon spent at the twice yearly local food fair saw us come home with a haul of the usual culinary essentials – chocolate buttons, chilli jam, smoked cheese – and refreshed our enthusiasm for our own [...]

Hope
It’s been an emotionally draining couple of weeks, but Pepper is hanging in there – scabs and all. The snuffles have really hit her hard, so today the vet switched her treatment to penicillin injections. She’s so bunged up it was getting really difficult for her to take the syringed medication, so at least this [...]

Going one better
So I was just minding my own business, going through the usual morning routine: kettle on, chickens out, bunnies fed, picking through the weeds to get Pie his leafy breakfast. And there it was, staring me in the face – one little 4-leaf clover.
I have to admit, Pie probably wasn’t very impressed that I went [...]

Chillin’
Had a lovely week getting back into the swing of things. Naturally, we didn’t want to work too hard (best not to over-do things!), so took Thursday off to go to the Suffolk Show. Alas, no photos were taken of our adventures with chickens, rabbits, cows etc, but it was a perfect day out; just [...]

Surprising discoveries
It must have been a busy couple of weeks, I’m having trouble working out where they went. Dixie bun is happily back to normal (ie devouring everything in sight at a terrifying rate), which is such a relief. I have to say I’d reached the point where I was convinced that if any of my [...]

Blown away…
Had one of those days where it seemed wherever I was, I was supposed to be somewhere else. Too much to squeeze in the hours, I guess.
The weather was also in something of a hurry today. It was raining hard enough to wake me up in the morning, then about an hour later it was [...]

New fluff
I gave in.
After a few weeks spent telling myself I could never go through the grief of the ending again, there are 2 new bundles of fluff in the garden. I know… Me without rabbits is like lungs without breath. Ok, so it’s not like I don’t have rabbits, Bea & Dixie are [...]

Who’s bugging me?
If you ask people to list their Least Favourite Things To Do, I’m fairly sure waiting in all day for a courier will be up there near the top – perhaps just beaten by waiting in all day for a courier that doesn’t turn up. Welcome to my tuesday.
It wasn’t all bad. As I had [...]

Drop everything – like me.
I’m all skippy about:
The weather – loving those perfectly chilly blue-skied sunny mornings!
Finishing Memoirs of a Geisha. I borrowed it from Emma too long ago to admit, but I think she’ll forgive me. It was good, I’m going to feel a bit lost without it.
Redecorating the so-called office. Started painting it today and can’t wait [...]
