LAST NIGHT JOSEPH SLEPT WITH A WOMAN !

Her name is Anne.

Actually she is one of our chickens. (For those who do not know we have a small flock of ten chickens living in our garden.)  One of them, our favorite chicken, who we call Anne has been poorly now for more than a week.

She has an impacted coup which is food within her digestive system which simply is not moving along its course. We have been trying to treat her as best we can but she is very weak and probably dieing. 

On Monday morning I let the flock out of the henhouse into the garden, returning a few moments later Anne was laying on her side and I thought she was dead.  I went to get something to put her in and told Joe she had passed away.

Returning to the garden I found Joe had her in his arms and was saying "Look she's not dead." No she wasn't but she was too weak to stand up, had fallen over on her side and could not move.  Her feathers have a yellow tint now which makes me think either her liver or her kidneys are not functioning properly, it's just a matter of time.

Last night Joe put her in a box and took her to bed with him so he could look after her. So last night, for the first time in his life, Joseph slept with a woman !
