Using an old photo today, because I’m feeling somewhat demoralised with the continuing C word, and can’t get up the energy to take a new photo.
Hens are all well and, after a very long rest from laying, Mauricette has started laying again since 19th October . . . so total egg count this month was 64. 10 eggs from Mauricette, 24 from Florence, and it’s Ruby, our red hen who is this month’s best layer with 30 eggs.

Cheer up. You could be trying to move house 😱 (I’ve emailed you)
Love the poached eggs – I hadn’t seen them before so it was new to me.
your current situation puts things into perspective, Lynn. Thanks for the cheer up ^^
Congrats to Ruby. I do hope you feel better soon. The change of light has been a bit gloomy this year, so sending you some warm and cheery thoughts!
thanks Kathy, just having one of those “off” days, after listening to too much news and all that’s wrong with the world ^^ I then phoned eldest son for a chat and simply hearing his voice helped cheer me up.
Glad to hear it Claire, you are normally very upbeat. I’m glad sit was just “one of those days” and not something that will eat at you for months and weeks. Hope you can get some fresh air, that is always a boost, as is talking with family.
upbeat, yep that’s me usually ^^
Congratulations to Ruby what a star 🐔
thank you Jane. We’re really pleased Mauricette has started laying again, as she lays lovely big eggs.
Hoping your feeling better sooner than later. Congrats Ruby on your outstanding job! 🙂 Love the crochet eggs!
thanks Sharon, yeah, I don’t stay down in the dumps for too long usually ^^
Love the crochet eggs – very funny. Blame it on the weather, seasonal change. Well done to Ruby.
thanks Daisy, yes autumn here and winter on its way
Well done Ruby! And so sorry about the situation in France, my family is in the same boat it sucks ☹️ sending hugs! (And I love the crochet eggs!)
virtual hugs to all, is about as much as we’re allowed to do these days ^^
You poor thing. Seasonal blues are bad enough without the C word on top. I think you should try some crochet bacon and maybe a tomato slice or two – that’d give you a different C to concentrate on, as well as a really clever and tasty looking result!
now there’s a thought^ sadly I gave these eggs away after making them, but I could also rustle up some more
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time. We all have been there and can sympathize. I know if I have a day that I forget to limit the news, I have the same reaction. I’m so grateful that I have hobbies to take my mind off it and focus on something that’s enjoyable.
was just having a bad day. Thanks Terri, yep, need to stop listening to the news.
I am actually fine, Terri, just had more than enough of listening to news about Covid, and feeling that it’s been so long since we saw kids & grand daughter and not knowing when, in the future, any travelling will be possible. Last time we saw Little Viking she was 13 months old, now she’s 26 months old and we’re missing out on so much! But I shouldn’t complain. We’re safe & healthy, and that’s the most important right now.
hugs. And brilliant eggs 😉
lol those were just a couple I crocheted a few years ago, and gave them away as a joke ^^
