Bridge Building and Antipodean Stays

This is my "bridge over the river kwai" or over the mostly dry dyke next to the hen coop,though as yet the hens are reluctant to use it,but if we get any heavy rain they may change their minds,or when the cockerel arrives he may show them how to be brave.
I mowed down all the nettles as the hens will not eat them and they were becoming an obstacle for them getting back to the hen hut,we are expecting a visit from chicken Al and his wife Vicki on thursday so he can look at my handiwork to keep him entertained.
Sheila's pal Cockney Lil has fell on the plane bringing her home from Florida and broke her ankle in 2 places last night,we learned of the incident when we met her daughter in the co op today,it looks as if I may be having the job of driving her home from wythenshaw hospital if there is no ambulance service,a trip of some consequence there and back.
Reverend Montana is back in full flow with his sermons on healthy eating,but is in danger of becoming very boring and not the least bit entertaining,poor lad.
Sandra the pom is vainly searching for Morn Cremeen biscuits(or cookies if you are American) but so far to no avail,Sam the pom her dear husband has bought her some machine guaranteed to make her fit and lose her beer belly,what's wrong with old fashioned stays I ask?
Enough of this tripe for today ,Cheers All. Graham
