Lots of things have changed around here since then...
1. Au Pair went back home to Switzerland in July. We enjoyed the rest of her stay, and I know she misses Small Boy and Small Girl very much.
2. We have Au Pair Mk 2 until after Christmas.
3. A Giant African Land Snail called Bob has taken up residence, using electricity for his heatmat and munching through lettuce like the end of the world is nigh.
4. We have 4 more ex-batts chickens now- they have leg rings and are completely unimaginatively called Blue, Green, Yellow and Evil. Evil should, theoretically be Red, except she pecked me and made me bleed and I never got her leg ring on.
5. We also have quail now. I started with 2 japanese quail called Rosemary and Annie. Annie died 3 days after purchase from a well known garden centre chain. I then bought 6 chinese painted quails to live with Rosie, called Jonnie, Oscar, Hannah, Ellie, Sarah and Clare. All named after Paralympians except Clare, who is named after Clare Balding, because when we got her home we noticed that she was bald :-) I then rescued 3 more large quail- to cut a long story short, one is still alive, one was eaten by a fox, one died after being attacked by the living one. Rosie was attcaked too and now lives inside in a large cage. She is really tame and will happily and calmly sit with me.
4. I got an incubator for my birthday.
5. I now have 21 Golden Giant quail eggs in my incubator.
