Goodbye chickens; Hello concrete

The powers that be decided to concrete all around K's school, including our chicken run, telling us we had to get rid of our chickens and fruit trees. J argued like anything but in this society the chiefs win against nobodies (even though we own the land). It makes me mad. So we had to say goodbye to our chickens. We sent them to our friends in their village. It's sad too for the boy up our road who loves looking after them and earns money selling the eggs. People here think concrete is more progressive than earth. Now J has to continue the fight for his fruit trees :( I feel so bad for him, he loves his chickens and his trees.

In other news, R&L became green belts today in their karate exams. Not quite for J&K though.
