Drain drinker! 😨 by happypat

Drain drinker! 😨

The hens that visit us several times a day have always loved drinking out of our kitchen drain....

No shame!

Thank you for all the good wishes for my sister in law. She tested negative for Coronavirus but they have discovered she has a virus In her body that keeps flaring up. They are keeping her in for more tests. She feels very poorly but they have moved her to a single room. Furness General Hospital coming up trumps even in these busy times!

Three good things:
1. I’ve finished my latest book called The Silent Treatment...I enjoyed it very much.
2. Sitting in the garden reading most of the day...a little evening stroll tonight down the lane....what a stunning evening!
3. The brilliant 99 year old who has raised over £13 million walking laps of his garden. What a trouper & hats off to everyone who is donating, so generous in these financially challenged times.
Good news your SIL has tested negative. I hope she recovers quickly from her illness.
I love this image - such a nice scene and so tidy. Nicely composed. Fav

Hope your SIL okay. We are fairly sure Sammy has had it. Finally turned a corner we think today. Love the hen!

@newbank It sounded to me as though you might have the virus....hope it is a mild dose if it goes round you all. Sleep lots & take it easy.

Of course we want to come in! Sending good wishes

Hope your SIL recovers quickly from her illness .Such a neat and tidy back-door - so inviting , no wonder Mrs Hen has come to call - I'm sure she is expected to be asked in ! Love your trough of herbs so convenient by your Kitchen door !

That's so inviting.....just want to walk in and give you a hug!!
Glad you had a gentle day.....I'm hoping for one soon!! So much to do in our garden and I'm not very systematic about it!!!
And glad your SIL is getting good treatment. Hope she feels much better soon.

And yes that lovely man......imagine how he feels at the staggering amount of money!!!

A nice shot of the hen at your backdoor.

A sweet capture of the rooster! Viruses never leave our bodies. My brother in law woke up screaming yesterday morning with eye pain. They rushed him to the doctor, it turned out to be a virus on his cornea. The dr asked him if he ever had canker/cold sores on his lip. He said yes. The dr said you never get rid of any virus and that virus settled on his cornea. I just couldn’t believe it. Very expensive eye drops and pills to treat it, the pain was subsiding last evening. I hope your SIL gets better soon !

@louannwarren It’s worrying isn’t it, where all these virus come from. The dictions are going to give her a special medication to treat it when they have done all the tests. Hope your brother responds to his treatment.

@sarah19 Thank you Sallie...we do need our quieter days....you are doing lots more than me...gardening takes up lots of time & energy! Hope your mum is keeping well & not too lonely ....I’m sure she has lots of people keeping an eye on her.

I love how this photo tells a story.

Good news about your sister in law, but hope they can figure what the virus is.

Viruses are nasty whatever they are! Seems if they are generally accompanied by a fever. Which is why you feel so unwell. Glad there was a single room for her.
Nice clear photo of your back door and the drain drinking chook!

Great composition. I hope they help your SIL posthaste

@newbank so glad Sammy is improving and sure hope the rest of you stay well

I am glad they are getting to the bottom of it, maybe they can get rid of it for her now. And a single room is lovely in this present climate :)
Love the hens drinking from the drains!

Very nice capture. Looks very rural with chicken roaming the streets. Wishing well for your sister in law.

@happypat Mum doing okay but quite lonely as lack of face to face contact with her friends and support people.
April 16th, 2020  
It's a lovely shot... I guess they are less fussy about hygiene in some ways! Hope your sister-in-law is comfortable and home soon. That dear chap has raised just over £14m now! Unbelievable... I think people are glad to have something good to do :)
Keep well :)

Such a cute shot! Well composed!

I love the expression; a "drain drinker". When I lived on my boat in the US, people who used to glean fabric from the skips outside the canvas store used to be called 'dumpster divers'. It just reminded me - both opportunists!

Nice capture Pat. And can't believe how much captain Tom has raised so far - truly inspiring.
April 16th, 2020  
@ellida ha Ha yes indeed...I think because it’s a kitchen drain there are some bits of food in there possibly!
April 16th, 2020  
Oh, this is a lovely image! And yes, Captain Tom Moore is just amazing!
