Oh no.... tough to lose like that 
I suppose we won like that in the last game... and at least we played well.
Anyhow... Wales flag out ready for today. XD
Watched five True Detective episodes straight last night, as I couldn't sleep. There are HP Lovecraft references in it apparently, eg Carcosa, The King in Yellow, etc? 
Its weird but good. Lots of little details in it, most of which I miss, but the blogs help explain things.
Now for some TG silliness to lighten things up!
Oh! I'm sure I was here... maybe I wasn't... been a bit head up my arse, sorry.
I'm not recognising those references at the moment, I may google them later.
Although I'm all over the place and I have a headaxche coming on, today has been the best day ever. I got to hold a wee, baby chick. 
Sorry about the headache
Awww you held a little chicky....how did it feel? Did someone bring one into school?
Carcosa is a fictional city in the Ambrose Bierce short story "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" (1891). In Bierce's story, the ancient and mysterious city is barely described, and is viewed only in hindsight (after its destruction) by a character who once lived there. The city was later used more extensively in Robert W. Chambers' book of horror short stories published in 1895 entitled The King in Yellow. Later writers, including H. P. Lovecraft and his many admirers, became great fans of Chambers' work and incorporated the name of Carcosa into their own stories, set in the Cthulhu Mythos.
I also looked up some of the themes Lovecraft wrote about and they're similar to True Detective... pretty cosmic stuff 
True detective sounds a bit freaky now.
The primary 2s had an incubator full of eggs, about 10 of them have hatched so far. The oldest chick is bossing about the smaller ones, but the wee red one is ready for him.
Freaky is exactly right 
C'mon the red chick!
Apparently, they have to kill the males because they don't need so many for the breeding... athe big black male has made a bid for freedom. *ahem*
Wow. Maybe its best to stick to tadpoles.
The rest seem to be female. We had about 5 unfertilised (they don't know when they give us them), two died before they could hatch... rest seem happy.
I always wanted to hold a chick... I imagine its light as a feather, is it?
What will happen to them once they're grown?
Light, and fluffy and makes you feel a million times better. Although, the second chick I picked up trembled. I put her down fairly quickly, didn't want her scared/upset. The first one dozed off in my hands.
They go back to the breeders. They'll eventually have chicks for other kids to raise.
I can't imagine anything cuter, than a little chick dozing off in your hand. Lucky you!!!
Did they get imprinted to anyone? You might have one following you home lol.
I don't think they have... if anyone it would be the primary 2 teacher, as they're in her class.
I want to sneak the grey and yellow one home with me though. XD
Good luck to both Scotland and Italy in their matches
C'mon... get scoring lads 
Let's not talk about the Scotland match... I left during the second half to comfort bake.
Thank goodness Ireland held off France...
Scotland are getting a new coach, aren't they. A Kiwi, maybe he'll shake things up?
Ireland were lucky, but what a great end for Brian O'Driscoll
Yes, we've officially been signed up for ages, but Scott Jonstone has been interim manager until then... now I think. I don't think He's done a bad job to be fair, last year we had our best 6 Nations in ages.
Lucky, yes. Thank the gods that was a forward pass.
Onwards and upwards
I just wish we had a decent football team
Don't we all? 
Ah well... next up... Eurovision!
Thanks Hitch
Oh maaaaan I can't wait now!
No bother. *salutes* I know my duty.
TG's trip to the River "Kwai" was a bit meh, or was it just me?
Jezza is a guest on Michael McIntyre's show... will have to FF through it to get to him.
Haven't seen the second part yet. Still got over 150 MST3K episodes to watch. *ahem*
I don't think I'll be watching that. Nope, not McIntyre's show.
Don't blame you.
How are the little chicks doing?
They have pointy wing feathers starting to grow.
They grow up so fast. 
Awww the babies are growing up.
Luckily, Jezza was on at the start. They showed his first appearance on Top Gear [1988?] with a plummy accent 
Then him in a leather jacket and ridiculous big frizzy hair [ about 1991 I think]. Maybe he was trying to copy Slash from Guns n' Roses. He has a LOT to live down
Ah yes... I've seen Jezza's 80s hair... it's a thing of epic proportions.
Can't believe how much his accent has changed - he was SO posh.
Maybe he was trying to be all RP for telly? And when he got older, realised "bum to that, it's stupid" and reverted to north east accent?
Chickens went home today. Kids were fine with it. Office staff in tears.
lol that the kids were ok but the staff were in tears. Aww good luck chickies!
Here's the clip of Jezza. He is very RP... reminds me a bit of the old Tomorrow's World presenters.
Hehe it's worse than I remember. You can hear the Yorkshire slipping in occasionally.
Yes, but I don't think the kids really got it. One boy didn't know chicks were chickens. He told me that "chickens are things you eat." like I was being silly... I think I accidentally caused a future vegetarian.
Wow. Some kids nowadays don't recognise pictures of vegetables either.
He's only primary 2... I'll let it slide for now.
But yes... the most common phrase I hear is "... and none of they green things." Peas! You mean Peas!
Anyhow... It's getting better.
How have you been?
Goodish, thanks for asking. About to start week four of the Mindfulness CBT/Meditation course. Did week two twice, cos I wasn't quite "getting it".
How are you? Hows the overtime? Hope you're not suffering too bad with the migraines.
Ah.. yeah... sometimes things can be a little hard to take in. Perseverance is good though.
Alright, overtime is fine, not had any migraines recently... just headaches... been watching far too much MST3k. It's all good. Nearly Easter hols. XD
