Mixed Bag Thursday

Blanche hasn't moved from her nest, so it is fortunate that her tiny chick has been able to venture down the coop ramp to eat his first meal of chick crumbs. I have removed all the excess shells, so hopefully his mother will get off her arse tomorrow and show him round his little pen

I picked one of my best pumpkins today and in a fit of culinary excitement I banged out a pumpkin pie! I caught up with Nuala this afternoon which was great as we haven't chatted for an age....she couldn't quite believe that I had been baking for most of the afternoon!

The two new skinny hybrids are inseparable and extremely shy. I have an awful feeling that the scrawny black rock may be a cockerel but I guess time will eventually tell. I have named them Shula and Peggy.

I picked Chris up from the station in Prestatyn at 6pm, two days ago, one of the coastal trains (the one he usually catches) caught fire at Prestatyn station (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_east/8221386.stm)..

Given the fact that trailer trash often seem the frequent these trains I suspect that a stray fag had been pushed down the side of a seat somewhere! anyhow on the way home I managed to snap a photo of the new "community art" instillation which has been erected on Prestatyn Hillside recently. (It is a half buried Roman centurion's helmet which reflects the Roman settlement in the historic Prestatyn)

Now some people would think that this type of sculpture is a waste of money, but I honestly don't!..I love seeing this sort of "art" next to the average semi detached or playground.

Mind you a new sculpture on the beach has been cordoned off from the public because of health and safety reasons.......apparently some woman tripped on a very visual step!

Modern Britain eh!
