Sorry Alain, the only things disturbing me today are the sounds of our two old hens rosey (do they sense there will be a rooster and five new hens coming later on today?), our sitting lady goose suddenly sounding like she's just laid a rather big egg, the various bird songs where I so wish I had Bill Oddie to tell me what they are, a few distant noises from farm tractors and trying to pot-on plants in a rather warm g-house! Ooooh, forgot to mention the important fact that my OH is away today getting the said cockerel and hens which is a nice bonus. God love him!
