When Ginger came for lunch by happypat

When Ginger came for lunch

The painters had to share their fish & chips with Ginger today.
As you can see they weren't best pleased & shooed her off.
She went back of course, nothing will deter Ginger.

I must thank you all for your good wishes yesterday regarding Harry's small brush with the big C. He has lead a very outdoor life so the small brown mark on his chin didn't concern us really until it got unsightly. I pestered him to have it checked & he did so asking the doctor to have a look. They weren't too concerned & said they would keep an eye on it which of course they didn't. Only when Harry had his knee checked by a different doctor was it really looked at again. Two procedures of removing tissue & then chemo cream & looks like we have cracked it. The specialist was very pleased yesterday & he doesn't need to go back for a year.
We were rather shocked by it all so please don't neglect any nasty brown patches!!

Three good things:
1. I have finished the accounts ready to go to the accountant...such a weight off my shoulder!
2. Harry & Paul the window cleaner got most of the Ivy off the front of the house this morning.
3. A new baby next door due in March for the new tenants...they are soon filling the bedrooms up!!
Go Ginger. Im sure she scored a chip or two. Good advice re lumps and patches. . All best checked.

@peggysirk she forgives you Peggy!!

Gracious it looks like Ginger can jump great heights! No wing clipping then? She is such a big bird it would be difficult to shove her off the table! Hope the weather remains fine for the painting!
October 1st, 2015  
Wonderful!
October 1st, 2015  
Ginger makes herself very comfortable! Nice image.

@maggiemae Yes she has had plenty of practice jumping on tables maggiemae......she is certainly thriving as a free range hen, eating all day at anything edible she can find!

@nickspicsnz @snowy @gijsje @khirsch @photographycrazy @kwind @phil_howcroft

Thank you all & yes great relief re Harry......you never think it would happen to you but everyone thinks that!
October 1st, 2015  
Good for Ginger. I wonder if any of the painters were called Fred. Maybe she just wanted to dance on the table with Fred one more time.
October 1st, 2015  
Oh I do love Ginger's attitude. The men look like they are bit afraid of her.

Love Ginger. Good for her it's her home so she has prior rights to the table! Great news about Harry.
October 2nd, 2015  
@thistle That's funny Joyce because it's not our hen....she lives across the road!!
October 2nd, 2015  
Oh lovely - a new baby tenant on the way! Can't believe they didn't welcome Ginger!
October 2nd, 2015  
@judithg a baby tenant, I like it! Townies Judith! Scared of the hen!
October 2nd, 2015  
@happypat my Betty is moulting - they would have had feathers in their chips from her!
October 2nd, 2015  
That sounds very scary. I'm glad it all turned out ok.
October 2nd, 2015  
Great shot .... love the chicken! :)

So good to hear you caught it in time! It's rather worrying what could be happening to our bodies without us being aware.
