Itchy bum

I uploaded the blip (which I'm still not happy with) on day, but due to a stupid argument with L (about quality time, it's all much better now) I couldn't write the diary part, so I'm doing it the next day.

Woke up at a perfect lazy Saturday morning hour and did some sewing. L was coming at 5 so took my camera to the supermarket with me in the afternoon, took lots of photos and took more notice of the world around me in the sunshine. It was all lovely until a pickup truck with lots of chickens crammed into some kind of boxes/cages drove past, there were bits of chicken sticking out of the sides. Then 1 chicken fell out and then another. The man stopped and tried to catch the second one, not sure if he did, I couldn't look. I couldn't help, I couldn't rescue them, I didn't know what to do.

When I was back in England I only bought free range poultry, pork and eggs. They don't have free range over here so I only ever buy fish because I'd like to stand by my principles as much as possible. Unfortunately as L was coming I'd bought some chicken, the chicken incident has made me not want to eat the chicken. I feel like such a hypocrite, I should have just made L have a veggie or fish meal like I do. The idea of happy chickens or pigs is a laughable concept over here. To make it worse I'd also bought a small gammon joint!


After the incident I saw a big group of cyclists coming towards me, I was still a bit shaken up so this rubbish photo was all I got! I chose it to blip though as I liked the sun on the mans leg, the shadows of the branches and that it's not something I've seen here before.

I got home and went for my run, as I went to Edi neni's house for a beer on Friday night instead.

Note to self, when fighting with L don't say stupid things just to try and get a reaction because it doesn't work and just makes things worse.
