CJ arrives

CJ looking at his new shed mate with a tiny bit of trepidation
Now before Tom threatens me with strangulation with my own poultry wire...this bird orientated blog entry is purely designed to resassure the surrogate father of a four week old gosling that his "baby" has arrived safely in his new Welsh home.

I have placed him in the shed under a heat lamp and for company have let Blanche's surviving chick loose with him, which panicked him somewhat as he has only had a pensioner for company since he was found alone in Guildford back garden four weeks ago.

He/she is a real sweetie!

And seeing that it is his 90th birthday , I will leave you with one of Prince Philip's funniest quotes
When asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union, he snapped

“ I would not.!!!.....The bastards murdered half my family”
God Love You Phil

  1. I see Price Phillip is not into PC. Good for him though for speaking his mind. You can do that when you are 90.

  2. Why C.J? is it reference to the "bird" off Baywatch? or is it that smug git on eggheads?
    Still, will be fun to see how this one plays out.

    CJ was his name before his arrival!
    is it some character in the WEST WING?

  5. Hard to beat (when looking at some messy electrical junction box) "Looks like it's been wired up by a load of Indians!"

    Those two will likely form a bond for life.

  9. The lone chick seems to be growing quite quickly. It would be nice if the two of them did get along.

  10. I hope CJ settles in nicely and doesn't cause any problems!

    Prince Philip was just on the news here, and of course they mentioned about his gaff's that he's famous for--They quoted him as saying about his daughter Princess Anne that 'if it doesn't fart or eat hay then she isn't interested.' okay......

  11. And one of my faves of his that I picked up the other day:
    “The mind cannot absorb what the backside cannot endure.” – HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, commenting on overly long church sermons.

    Happy Birthday Sir. Just wish there were more like you. Gaffs an all.

  12. A grumpy Brit who speaks his mind regardless of the fallout -- refreshing. Not PC but definitely refreshing.

  13. God love the Dook indeed, a splendid role model for aspiring curmudgeons. And here's to a long life for CJ, may he/she and the nameless chick bond and thrive.

  14. He's the PERFECT consort. Stays in the background, and keeps us amused! Belated Happy Birthday Phil.

  15. I love Prince Philip with all my heart. A book of his gaffs would be amazing to read. x

  16. Prince Phillip sounds like my kind of gentleman.

    Glad the new babe is settling in well.

  17. A sweet little gosling! I always enjoy whatever you have to say, and Prince Philip too for that matter!!

    Any time you decide to come to Anchorage, sipping a cocktail or two or more at the top of the Hotel Captain will be a top priority! Love and Hugs xo

  18. The Duke has the gall to say what most of us are thinking but daren't say. He just doesn't care what others think of him - the perfect partner for the queen who has to be on her best behaviour at all times.

  19. I can't believe he's 90!! This is what happens when you have servants to wipe your bum and put toothpaste on your brush.
