I had a hectic weekend of travelling and watching football, and from all the shouting at both matches I've unfortunately lost my voice. Typical.
On Friday I visited the local rugby clubs firework display. It was a bit expensive at £3 per head and I could already see the fireworks from my bedroom window and I don't think any of it was going to charity which was a bit selfish of them. It was a very cold night but I had lots of fun meeting and talking to people who used to go to my old junior school. I left the rugby club at about 9.30pm because I had a very early morning to follow. However my friend Mat stayed overnight so we was up quite late talking and using the computer.
When Saturday morning came I was up at 7am to have a shower and t0 get ready to meet Lesley, Carl, Clare T, Rosie, Emma and Maurice at the Organic cafe in Stratford before heading off to the farmers market. I had to be in a rush because I was meeting relatives in Derby for lunch before going off to the football. Derby won 2-1 against West Brom.
On Saturday Emma adopted 4 ex-battery hens and re-homed them in a luxurious purple eglu. Fantastic well done Emma.
On Sunday I had to get up early AGAIN because I was going to watch Aston Villa play Blackburn which was quite exciting. I had a duck egg for breakfast, poached. I had brought the eggs from Lesley on Saturday and I would like to thank Mindy for the great eggs. The one I have had so far was delicious and I hope the rest are just as good!
The egg was easier to traditionally poach than a hen egg, and it looks absolutely perfect. I could't help sharing a picture of the eggs the lushious blue colour really does look attractive.
Sunday afternoon, I went to Aston Villa and we won 2-0 with Gareth Barry scoring from the penalty spot and Juan Pablo Angel with an excellent finish just after half time.
Another late night and a continually sore throat.
Today I went to school for lesson 1. Then I came home to go to the orthadontist for a check up on my brace. They said all is well and it should be almost finished and that is really positive. I then came home for about an hour to have some lunch. I also got to errect the chicken netting I bought on Saturday. It gives the chickens a much bigger area and they seem to have really enjoyed roaming around without pooing on the step or coming into the house.
Here are a few pictures I took.

The first one shows the eglu and rablu and you can just about see the netting border. The other is a rare snap of the front side of Lesley.
Another tiring day and I've jsut got back from Stratford after having my hair cut and delivering some eggs to my grandparents.
Thanks for reading, hopefully more to follow tomorrow.
