weekendy goodness

This weekend, I:
- ate a bright green pancake
- watched The Dark Crystal (after many years of many people nagging me)
- met my mother's new chicken
- finished a jigsaw puzzle

By far the most fascinating part of that is the chicken, so...

Apparently, Mum found this chicken trying to cross a major road near her place, and took it home.

No-one else in the neighbourhood had heard anything about a missing chicken. So it's staying at Mum and Dad's place, in a fruit-tree-protecting cage, henceforth to be known as Luxury Chicken Dreamhouse - because it's awesome and the chicken loves it.

She has settled down contentedly under the fruit trees and started laying eggs.


Mum has decided to call her "Ruby". And to get another chicken called "Sapphire". :D





My family is rather fun, sometimes...

"Why did the chicken...."

I saw the Dark Crystal when it first came out - and caught a small bit of it on TV over Easter - what did you think of it? I wonder how well it has stood the test of time?

As for the chicken - well you now know which comes first - it's clearly the chicken as the eggs only came later...

But have your parents interrogated it to see WHY it crossed the road?
