Month: April 2022

MONDAY is back!

Today is Independence Day in Senegal (one of my favorite countries). The day celebrates Senegal’s independence from France on April 4, 1960.

Possibly the ballsiest beer in the world

Backyard chickens?

A man I sometimes chat to in the park when walking our dogs was telling me this morning about his new rescue chickens. He pretty much made my day when he told me he’d called them Hen Solo, Jabba the Cluck, Obi-Hen Kenobi and Princess Layer.
Haha, brilliant. We named some of our neighbours hens...Hen Dodd, Wingo Starr, Chick Astley, Maxine Beak and Gregory Peck. Too much time on our hands..
Nice! We have several - the ones I named are Chickira and Meryl Cheep. Chickira is by far the loudest and struts so seems fitting.
We have Wyatt Oeuf, Annie Yolkley, Eggatha Christie and Gwyneth Poultry

Spring!!

Today is the birthday, in 1948, of Pick Withers, drummer for Dire Straits.

Your wife says you never buy her flowers. Is that true? To be honest, I never knew she sold flowers.

Today is the birthday, in 1948, of Jimmy Cliff, Jamaican ska and reggae musician, multi-instrumentalist and singer who helped popularize reggae around the world.
