Down to seven
The plan was to take today off, spend some time at home, and go shopping, but with the Festival looming ever closer we popped into Patchings for half an hour to tidy up a bit. I know things don’t kick off until Thursday, but Mum will be driving down to Heathrow tomorrow to pick Dad up, so we needed to get a bit of work done today. Off course this also gave me the chance to snap a photo of the chicks 😀
Sadly, it looks like we’re now down to seven. It’s always hard to count them as they wriggle around so much, climbing over and under each other, but no matter how hard we looked we could only spot seven chicks. The remaining chicks look very healthy though, all of them with feathers now and distinct primaries on their wings, and they look like little birds now instead of young dinosaurs!
Sorry about the picture, the chicks weren’t very cooperative with the photographer today.
We then drove up to Sheffield to visit Crystal Peaks shopping centre. We had some shopping we wanted to do anyway, but in particular I wanted to see their branch of Sainsburys as that’s where Rob will begin work in September when he starts on his management programme. The store was HUGE, and included the clothing range which turned out to be very nice. I came out of there with a couple of T-shirts, a pair of cropped joggers for the gym, and a lovely pair of beaded jeans (especially pleased about this one as my favourite pair of beaded jeans gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago). It was all quite nice quality, fit, and was reasonably priced, so I’m quite chuffed. Just have to figure out how to fit it all in my suitcase for the return trip to Ireland now!
