“I’ve more or less decided to be friends with Floss, we have stuff in common. She’s a funny girl. I was trying to take photos of the poor chook today, and I think floss was jealous, she kept chasing the chook away. She was quite happy for me to take pictures of her though.”

“I have no idea where the chook lives. She shows up when she is hungry, and is often  looking in through the bathroom window. Her and the cat lived here for two months  with nobody looking after them, until I moved in. I’m amazed the cat didn’t eat her. She is pretty bossy when she wants to be fed.”
