Chicken sitting at Georgina's

We are staying at George & Dans, 'till we move in to our new house on the 20th August. (fingers crossed, this is the 3rd date we have had) They have taken the children to Crete for 2 weeks, so we have been put in charge of the CHICKENS...
We have to clean the 2 chicken houses once a week, and today we did just that. It took just over an hour with both of us doing it. George does it on her own in much less time........... what does that tell you?
We get 5 eggs a day most days. and never less that three a day. Guess what we have for breakfast!!!
Its very windy today, with occasional thundery showers. At least the sun shines between the showers.
Our good friends Kathy and John are coming to see us today, and we plan on going out to dinner with them later. Its the first time we have seen Kathy since she retired from teaching at the end of last term. John will be retiring from the Police in October.
Genette and Darren came with the children to see us yesterday. I don't think little Edward quite understood why we were here, and not Auntie George and Uncle Dan. They are such great kids, we will miss them terribly when we go back to the US.
We got a text from George on their first day in Crete, just to let us know they had arrived at the apartment ok, and that when they landed at midnight, it was still 28c. We were huddled under the duvet, trying to keep warm at the time, 6.30am.
