Eddie, lovely to hear from you again, was wondering whether the 'girls' had got too much for you and you had flown away 'skywards'   Will you never learn that us girls have the last laugh and one over on yo u males.

Eddie’s diary

It’s that time of year when most of my tail has moulted onto the coop floor and even with my best impressive posing, I just get giggled at … sigh 

Honestly it is just one long round of hassles and humiliations at the moment. ‘Why not have a run in the garden?’ I get told.  Off I go with Millie and after a protracted going over of all areas, I head home and spot the garden fork. Now what!  Safe bet that blasted human has been cleaning us out, the coop will not be as I left it and the run has been dug over. That’s my favourite sleeping spot and carefully crafted dust bathing pits gone for sure 

Then I see the whole lot is damp. Good grief, she’s only gone and hosed it all down for good measure. Now I am going to have to sit on my branch perch and sulk while it all dries out!  Expect some dirty looks and an attitude this afternoon then missus

I have tried to PM you Eddie to find out what you're doing but you don't appear to have an account!   Lovely to hear from you.  It's not the clothes y ou wear that maketh the man, it's what's inside that really counts.  Y our 'human' is only trying to make things better for you and in this rather strange 'hot' weather, surely a 'damp patch, with your feathery coat is a relief.  Love to you and  y our girls, Wighty.
