    When I first graced the earth with my existence, some of my relatives gave me gifts of money for birthday and Christmas, and my parents put in in a National Savings account in my name.  When I was 15, they decided I was old enough to use the money sensibly and gave it to me.  I can't remember how much it was, I think about the amount my dad earned in two weeks.  I think I left it in the account and added to it whenever funds exceeded needs.

    The chickens that go for re homing are bald because they go into a yearly moult, they go lethargic and feel  poorly so stop laying,  they re home those and there’s another lot of POL waiting to take their place.

    Thanks @Lyn.  One of ours was in a terrible state and still has bare bits round the base of her tail which is still scraggy.   She's also the most nervous/least trusting.  All the others have lovely new feathers and almost respectable tail feathers growing and their combs are looking redder and bonnier and less floppy.   6 eggs today for the first time.

    Neighbours are happy.

    They do feather up nicely after a moult,  I’m sure your nervous one will come round soon.
    Caged hens come of worse as the others will peck the bare bums of the others. 
    I used to put olive oil in their water.

    I know most politicians are annoying to a greater or lesser degree, but is anyone more annoying that Pratt Hancock?  (Sorry, Matt Hancock).  He was being interviewed on BBC Breakfast this morning following the announcement that the Pfizer vaccine has been approved by the MHRA.  He was asked if he knows when the AstraZeneca vaccine is likely to get approval.  It could have been answered in one sentence "No.  That's entirely in the hands of the MHRA".  Instead he waffled and babbled on for best part of 2 minutes, constantly repeating himself before effectively saying the above!

    He’s repeating it all on R4 now.

    They all operate on a personal agenda and I don't trust any of them on either side of the political divide.

    The contempt is entirely mutual @Songbird-1
