Evening run

Bit of a mixed day, which started off with having to dispatch a poorly hen. She made her last blip appearance a few days ago, but has been going down hill for a while and today she couldn't stand up. She's had a good life and lots of fun and treats and given me lots of eggs over the past few years, and now she's buried in the field.

Spent the morning with a friend in the village. I struggle with depression from time to time and she has such a positive and reassuring influence on me, helps me feel a lot better and also makes wonderful scones!

This evening A, Ollie and I went down to the cliffs for a walk, and took nearly 80 photos of gulls, wheeling about in the thermals. Unfortunately hardly any were in focus, and most of them were of sky and sea, with bits of wing in the corner! Never mind - I always have Ollie and his frisbee to blip!
