C'mon, let me see you shake a tail feather...

Well, not yet, they don't really have any to shake as you can see in the third picture. I'm sure it won't be long though. They are about a week old today and you can acutally see how much they grow each day! They love being let out for a run around the lounge room but freak out a bit whenever they venture somewhere new. So, so cute! I'm keen to name them but A thinks I'm a little mad as he doesn't think we'll be able to tell the difference between them once they've grown. What do you think? Would you name chickens? And, if so, what would you name them?  






So the chickens are something I can cross off the to-do list. Their arrival also puts a couple of things on the to-do-really-soon list. That is, fix the fence and build them a real home!

A little blogiday

Phew, I've just finished marking 50 tests. I have 50 assignments to do next, 7 orals and tomorrow another 7 writing tests. As of Monday I'll have 50 more orals to mark. Then comes the fun bit, 130 something reports. All in the next 3 weeks.

So, expect posts to be even fewer and further between for the next little bit. When I'm not glued to the computer screen for work, I'll be playing with the chickens (the cutest things ever - I swear they have grown a good cm all over since yesterday), making sure the cat doesn't get too jealous and eat them and maybe A will get some attention as well.

I'll probably still pop by and check out your news and I'll be back here when I've made it to the other side of the end of term madness!

I might post a chicken photo tomorrow though - I can't deprive you of the cuteness for 3 weeks!

Off to Sydney tomorrow for a work conference. Looking forward to being inspired but not looking forward to the drive! 

Enjoy the rest of your week!
