Thanks, I have found photographs and comments my wife left as markers in her books but never money unfortunately.

I found a collection of old banknotes in some books including one from the 1930's that was for "Ten Thousand Marks" and had a stamp on it adjusting this to "One Million Marks" which demonstrated the speed of hyperinflation at the time.
Chicken news:
Babs caught a mouse this morning, and spent a long time thrashing it until it was the right size and shape to swallow whole. The tail hung out of her beak for a few minutes, but has gone now.
The little so-and-so's obviously have got together and agreed a rota. It's only three eggs again today. I am contemplating withholding their evening corn as punishment.

Good morning from sunny but breezy & chilly Suffolk. First coffee of the day has been long finished and since then I've achieved the sum total of zero which means my goals for the day have been met.
Sadly cake was left in the field.I believe Jack was going to give the rest half of it actually to his daughter who lives four doors down.Yes a cyclist did leave cake uneaten.

Sunny and 0°c here.
Just got a call that the cafe is low on Schnitzels again, and could I cycle to the next village and get a fresh supply?

Do you charge for delivery, or is it part of your job?

All this talk about poultry takes me back to a visit to Melton Mowbray Christmas cattle market.
Walking back to the car park we saw a lady with a turkey in a carrier bag with it’s head sticking out,was alive . I asked her what she intended to do with it Apparently they offered to kill it and pluck it .She told them I’m not paying for that.my husband can do that Apparently she did this every Christmas

The Patient has now been diagnosed as having spondy losing arty rightus* aka spondyloarthritis, which in his case is particularly in the neck. This is in addition to his prolactinoma.
Despite the seriousness of his condition, it has taken more than two weeks, so far, for the Hospital to write to the GP Practice, and it will take a few more weeks for the correspondence to be forwarded to his GP for a prescription to be issued. They also forgot he needs another blood test (every three months).
* The habit of strange translations of medication started when my Mother was prescribed doggy cloperal, as she called it, which is Clopidogrel.

Chickens are indeed chickens but hens are not chickens.
I wonder how long we can keep this thread going?
We are at 165,000+ responses on this division of the thread alone, largely due to just such topics.
Stick on grips didn't last well on the walking soes, maybe need nailing as well. Looked at the Countryfile suggested walking shoes and ordered a pair of Cotswold Wychwood Low in a size 12. I am a 10 but reviews on them say they are way underside. What has come is a 46 which I thought was 11 but seem okay. Supplier was Secret Sales who came up as the cheapest. Ordered Wednesday evening arrived this am.

That is interesting, we used to get ours from the hatchery or on the bus or train as hatchlings. I lived near a poultry warehouse, and the grown chickens would get shipped from there to their next incarnation, but sometimes a few would escape and wind up by the barber shop or in the neighborhood.

Threatening them with pastry and / or a bottle of red wine should do the trick
White, with fowl.
Fried is fine as well, ironic when you consider that the batter is made from eggs, milk, and ground grain. As in life, in death also.
