Another 3 egg day. Simone led the way, then Seecil, and I finished off the egg laying activity!
In the afternoon we helped Jamie in the garden, sewing mesclun and Broccoli! She shut us out of the glasshouse, and we let her know we were not pleased by tapping on the glass door all the time she was in there!
Simone says it is high time she had her photo up here, so... watch this space....

Well, Jamie has been putting compost on parts of the garden which has kept us happy as lots of grubs and things to scratch and then today she planted some globe artichokes in that spot, so I guess she doesn't want us scratching there anymore. It might not stop us! We all snuck into the glasshouse when she was watering in there today and admired kale, cabbage, silver beet and lettuce seedlings!
Here is a photo of our eggs. The other two are FINALLY starting to get producing as well. The big brown ones are mine of course. The larger pale ones are Seecils first 2 efforts and the small one's are Simone's. Jamie's very proud of us all!

Oh dear - it is a SAD day here. Sweet Pea had been back in isolation in the glasshouse since Monday and was still very unwell. Today her babysitters Alys and Simcha came, and now the glasshouse is empty and Jamie looks very sad. However I heard Jamie say that Sweet Pea's feathers will be used by Tangi in the making of a korowai, so she will live on in that way. We are missing her. But really more interested in FOOD!!

Well the late afternoon has proved very interesting. Sweet Pea has come home. She immediately started raving on about having become a Trekkie while staying with Alys and Simcha. Consequently Seecil is giving her the run around, in case she had forgotten who is top hen. However S P also stood up to Simone, so fun and games around the garden.. I just kept on eating. Sweet Pea still has a funny bulge on the side of her face and doesn't look that well, but it is good to have her home.

Oh dear - apparently Sweet Pea went to the vet today and is very ill. She has had antibiotics and is going to be away from us for a while. I hope she is OK, I 've got quite fond of having her around.
Jamie is going away on Wednesday, so it is all very anxious making, though no doubt she will make arrangements for us. It won't be the same though. Sigh!

Well, Jamie went off and left us again, but Miriam brought us lots of greens and food.
So I laid another egg to reward her. Jamie arrived home today with Chaz - who apparently helped build our house. He was pretty pleased to finally meet us and picked me up a few times. Jamie picked up Seecil but she squawked! It was good to be out and about in teh garden again this afternoon. bit damp though.
