The Chicken Hilton Hotel
My beloved and I have been very busy over the bank holiday weekend (our cousins across the Atlantic will, of course, wonder what a bank holiday is—it’s when you get an extra day off work for no obvious reason at various times during the year—glad we, er, cleared that one up…).
We’ve built a huge (and I do mean HUGE) new enclosure for the chooks. They still have their original run inside it, so when it’s very muddy or otherwise grim in the weather department they will always have somewhere to shelter; plus, if we’re going to be away from the house, they won’t get to free-range within their new kingdom as there’s no roof, so keeping them in the original run on such days would mean they’re as secure as they can be in our absence.

Members of the European Parliament recently voted against transparency, choosing not to reveal to the unwashed masses how much they all claim back in so-called expenses. The system is believed to be widely and obscenely abused, but we’ll never know. We’re asked to trust these people. But hold on! There might be a reason for this madness.
The possibility must surely be considered that all the MEPs are, in fact, suffering from Mad Cow Disease, having been infected back in the late 1980s when it was commonplace to feed livestock the pulped remains of their brothers, sisters and any other animals that would otherwise have been wastefully standing around living natural lives and were better off whisked into a fine pink broth at the abattoirs, so that they could then be forcefully fed through pipes to ensure sufficient sustenance got into the bodies of their fellow creatures in small boxes, all of which inevitably lose the will to live under such conditions.
