We started with a trip to Monkey World. This was meant to have happened at half term, but I was too unwell to travel that far. It was a fab day, and we were able to see all the monkeys and apes that we wanted to. We were up to date with Monkey Life - or at least as up to date as the end of the most recently televised series. The park held a couple of not unpleasant surprises for us, including Bart being in charge of Paddy's group.
Yesterday we went to the cinema to see Toy Story 4 (part of "watch 3 Disney films you haven't seen before"). I don't think she's written that up yet, we made fresh lemonade, and... I've forgotten the rest.
She has to do at least 10 (and ideally 30) of the listed activities and write about each of them. Each one has to have photographic evidence, and has to be signed by a responsible adult to confirm that it was genuinely done.
It's a bit of a nightmare - there's so much of it!
The chicks are now small chickens. There is a lot of battling for position, and the two leghorns are crowing. ShyBoy, our most handsome Barnevelder, has gone to a new home. I've been looking for homes for the other purebred boys, but no luck so far.
The 5 Girls have, at last, all got names. We also know who is likely to go where in the future... and if the boys start crowing any more, the future won't be too far away. The Tween loves playing with the chicks and she's really good with them. She knows how to hold them properly, and she spends ages getting them used to being handled, practising their "jumpy uppy", and other things. She's really observant as well, so we always listen if she notices anything about them.
