It has been a very mild and sunny day here, I spent a good 2 hours out in the garden with the chookies. I sat down for a cup of coffee and my 2 rescue girls aka ginger ninjas kept pecking my red nails {warn}
Hubby and I did a bit of tidying in the garden helped by the girls removing all the worms for us }hairout{ bless their little hearts they sooooo lurve to help. If only they helped with poo picking +f+
I won't see them now until Saturday morning, as its dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. Roll on longer days.

Isn't it great having a bit of sunshine on a day off work :-D , and being able to spend time outdoors. Naughty ginger ninjas ... {rofwl} , mine try to catch the long laces on my mud caked boots, they think they're very fat swingy worms {rofwl}

I made the mistake of going out wearing red flipflops when I first got mine and they all ran over and started attacking my toes, it was quite funny even though it hurt :-D
