In the past year they’ve wrecked the garden, they’ve learnt to fly and keep escaping from their pen, they lay in the ornamental wishing well and one has even gone broody on me…but it’s still been the best year ever. The chickens are fun, interesting and full of character. Best of all they lay smashing eggs. I’m so glad we had them.

Meanwhile., this is the second sunny bank holiday of the year that I will be spending largely indoors in front of my screen. My Java treasure hunt game has a reasonable amount of functionality now. I just need to get the classes sorted.

I’m pretty much fed up of working all the time while the sun’s shining. I started working on my assignments in earnest on 27th March. I don’t finish until 28th May, so by then I’ll have been working hard for 2 months. I need to plan some kind of celebration. Champers I think…
