Total eggs - 82 - Dhylis a s usual yesterday (checked after it stopped raining).

The Monaco grand prix is on the TV, Alsonso is winning, after the farce of the Shumacher qualifying. OH has cleaned out Fat frank today. I think we have decided to let him go in the pond today. He's really grown in the 2 years that we have had him, and needs a bit more space - unfortunately that means we will never see him again - as the pond fish aren't very sociable - unlike Frank who is a very sociable fish!

The chickens are out free ranging, have been for the past hour and half. Penny even came out to join them, then she picked on Sylvie, pecking her and chasing her around the garden - which really wasn't fair on poor Slyvie - although she didn't look like she was limping when running at full speed to avoid Penny. Marjorie has just located the watering can which has some water in it - so she's been drinking from that.

We had delicious poaked egg on toast today - it's turning into the usual weekend breakfast - and is delicious. I never realised how different a home grown egg tastes compared to the rubbish supermarket ones - even the free range ones. The yolks are such a different colour, and the taste is amazing.

with only 1 of the girls laying a thte moment - we may be in trouble for running out of eggs - which surely can't be right when you have 4 hens?
