Our Week

17/9/2011

 
Auntie Sybil is back in her run with the boys, Mum didn't win the Lottery, Truffle still has four tail feathers and Kizzie is home from her holiday in Spain. She is the colour of my feathers - without the black lacing of course. Honey, the littlest hound, didn't actually recognise her at first and stared at Kizzie's face for some time trying to comprehend the change.
I have had a bad eye this week - it is now half open again. Mum asked me what on earth I had done and withour naming names I pointed accusingly at the Bossy Rosecomb. Mum scooped me up and kissed me on the head and to be frank - although I am Gordon - I think I preferred the squinty look to the indignity of the kiss. Most embarrassing.
It has been a week of hard work - well for Mum and Dad - they have mended doors and gates and cut up fallen trees and cleared ditches and still found time to go and earn some money for our food. Dad has had a cold. He arrived one morning sporting a flowery toilet roll - most incongruent with his steel toe-capped workboots. The cockerels and pullets are having to work hard at school too and they seem to have quite a lot of homework. I must admit to quite enjoy helping with it at teatime although Ron and his IT coursework does leave me a bit flummoxed.

We jostled for a place in the sun
We have had heavy rain showers this morning - but the sun is out again now and we are all cramming into it's precious limited warmth as the rays sidle up against the stable doors. Next week on September 23rd it is the autumn equinox and the sun passes the equator moving from the northern to the southern hemisphere (so Neddie and Seagoon told me). The North Pole begins to tilt away from the sun - apparently day and night have approximately the same length then. The Sun rises everywhere on Earth (except the Poles) at about 6am in the morning and sets at about 6pm in the evening - though this can vary a little when time zones and daylight saving etc are taken into account. We are still in British Summer Time until Sunday 30 October when at 2.00 am we revert to Greenwich Mean Time. Whew! Enough of this homework lark! Gordon x

    About Us

    Hello! My name is Gordon and I am a Gold Sebright and my best friend is Sylvia. She is a Silver Sebright. We live with our foster parents on a small farm in the country.  We thought that we would put our take on life and what we get up to through the year into a diary for you. All the characters are real and the events are a true record,  interpreted with a modicum of poetic licence. We hope you enjoy it. Love Gordon and Sylvia
