Eggs

These are a little grubbier than usual-a sure sign that the chickens haven't been cleaned out this week.

My parents took the children to the park this morning then to lunch in the Linton kitchen while I popped into Saffron Walden. Back at home I was putting the shopping away when I noticed THE BIGGEST SPIDER IN THE WORLD on the fridge door. No one else fancied getting rid of it (Poppy started screaming even though it was nowhere near her) so they sat and watched me delicately cover the HUMUNGUS SPIDER with a glass (a pint one) and slip a piece of card under it (it had to be A4) gingerly take it down the garden (Poppy was still screaming at this point) and release the MASSIVE ARACHNID into freedom and a life of happiness and peace. 5 seconds later it was eaten by a bloody chicken.

I had scrambled eggs for lunch. It might be a while until I eat another egg. I don't fancy cracking one open to find a semi-digested spider inside.
