Cruises and chickens

I had such a rotten day at work it would really ruin your read if I shared it so trust me when I say that tomorrow I shall be celebrating FF (as the newspaper called it today) Friday Fatigue in grand style. I used the excuse to read a TB test for Public Health on the way home to actually get home before midnight.

Suffice to say that by 10 a.m. I had figured out the day was a write off so decided to cheer myself up. I called up my good buddy from a former life and discussed running away on a cruise this fall. Needless to say there was no hesitation in the acceptance. Had already cleared it with the life partner as he said "you're not going to the same thing this fall are you?" when I attempted to discuss the Maritimes/New England route with him and so the decision was made that he is not the travel partner of choice for the autumn fun. One of these times I shall travel with daughters (as I can hear their groans as they read this) but this time around they are all occupied with work or studies. And the date parameters include a wedding we're really looking foward to with a home visit from the first born daughter so will have to be before then, likely mid-September. So the homework for the weekend is to do some itinerary searching. Yeehaw.

I have registered to do a two part course this Saturday afternoon and the next called Personal Mastery which is being sponsored by a local community group. Since I apparently have no personal mastery at all this should be an interesting activity. It involves drawing forth a personal vision. Hmm. I'll likely be in the slow class but I shall keep you posted as to how it goes.

Well I thought you'd like to see the update from the chicken whisperers which I found in my FaceBook inbox tonight. It reassured me that at least some of them had found their way to a sheltered coop after being so casually discarded and of course now you know how to catch them:

Hi..just an update on the chickens...a couple of nights ago Esnor and his brother went over and Johnny (brother) climbed a tree and caught them...guess you can catch them when it is dark...all that was there was 4...they also found a dead one so dont know if the others died or if someone else got them...hopefully someone got them...at least 4 are now safe and sound... Take care...
