Happy-Sad
It’s over. Chook plans have been postponed, perhaps to be cancelled completely.
We were going to have a working bee this Saturday morning, followed by a bbq lunch. The Chook Collective were going to pitch in and get the chook yard ready, we were going to collect the Chooks on Sunday and take them to their new home.
Everything’s changed. Annie’s got a job for the school term in Port Pirie. She’s leaving next week. Then she’s going overseas. Annie’s core, and she’s leaving. That sucks. Not only that, we can’t get the Chooks any more. I’m sad. I was really looking forward to having Chooks. I’m happy for Annie, she’s got a job teaching for the school term, but I’m sad too.
If the other housemates were interested in Chooks, then the Chook plans would still go ahead. But Osk and Ed are both writing theses and Em was never keen on the idea of Chooks.
Have you got a solution? We’ve got access to some free Chooks, but we don’t have anywhere to put them now. Can anyone help?
On a brighter note, I might be able to come and dig up some of the herbs in Annie’s veggie garden, because the rest of the house aren’t interested in them.
Also, half of Saturday is now freed up, and we don’t have to go get the Chooks on Sunday. Hmm, what to do with the weekend! I wish it was Friday today.
Last weekend the boy and I planted up the veggie garden, it’s looking great. If I had a digital camera, I’d take some photos of it. Stay tuned, I’ll try and borrow someone’s camera.

Annie if your reading: Ill be sorry to see you go Annie, but im realy happy for you that you have found a job.
On another note, after being quoted one price on the chooks, letting every body know and then the price going up, knowing some of us are not as financial as others I did a little wheeling and dealing to trade some stuff from work through 3 different parties to end up getting the chooks for free, now we dont need them :( but there are still two other parties who expect to now get something out of the deal, the chooks have already been collected and are waiting in maclaren vale to be picked up sunday.
Can anybody help give these chooks a home?
