Ah, yes, birthdays.

After a few years off, my birthday curse strikes again: Ella got out and, rather than sit on the drive squeaking to be let back in like she usually does, she went for a toddle down the road. Where she met a passing car.

At least they stopped and let us know, so that I could go and put her out of her misery.

Hopefully Zu Zu will be ok without her. The flock is a lot more integrated since the babies came along.

Other than that, I've had a nice day. At least two of the babies are laying now, so that's a positive thing.

Sorry to hear Ella's gone. Hope your birthday is otherwise good.

I'm so sorry. That's a tough thing to face even on an unbirthday. I'm glad Zu Zu has a flock about her.

Poor Ella :(

Happy unbirthday for tomorrow then.

I'm very sorry too. I'm also sorry that I didn't see more of you in Dublin, which I had thought I might.

I'm glad it was otherwise fine. Maybe some day you'll have a birthday where everything goes smoothly?

Oh, poor Ella, and poor you.

I didn't see anyone in Dublin, it feels like. I did at least say hello to you, I think on more than one occasion. Poor (for me) social space and not staying up late because I was poorly (and had a half mile walk to bed) are to blame, I think.

RIP Ella, alas.

Felicitations, otherwise.

I'm sorry to hear about Ella, but yay for laying babies and integrated flocks.
