Thank you to those who sent us cards I didn't understand the complicated post system out here, so the mailbox at the end of our drive was very full. You see there's a little red flag on the side and I thought the postman put it up when he's delivered the mail, so all the while ours was down, I didn't bother to check inside the box. Only when letters and free newspapers were spilling out did I realise. And now I've worked out the I have to lift the flag when I want to have a letter collected! This was further complicated because in the row of three identical letter boxes for houses A, B, and C our house is letter B so we assumed that it would be the middle box. But of course with every thing being upside down it was the end one.
Kirsty's part.
When Lana and I went to put away the chickens this evening it was getting dark so we were a little worried when we could only find two of them. At first we were only searching low but then we started to search high! And there she was stuck, unnecessarily, in the tree. Just above where we could reach. We tried shaking the tree but all this achieved was her clucking at us. Just then mum and dad arrived (perfect timing.) When they got out of the car they were beside themselves with laughter at the statement "the chickens stuck in the tree!" made by me. Dad also being as useless as us tried shaking the tree. But it was mum who solved the problem by poking her feathers which, even though Lana and I had already tried, it worked! Almost. For all it achieved was getting the chicken onto a lower level branch. But (thankfully) with a lot more poking and wiggling of branches finally got the chicken onto ground level.
(no animals were hurt during this, then again the chicken might have a few bruises)
