I love my wife dearly, and she is a smart little cookie, cooking, gardening, looking after assorted creatures (including me).

We have various poultry, chickens, guinea fowl, ducks, geese.

In order to encourage them to lay in known places Wifey installs ping-pong balls (we did have proper pottery eggs, I suspect our local monitor lizard ate them), chooks are daft enough to think they're eggs and continue to lay.

Everyone is happy, especially me, delicious truly free-range eggs.

This evening I went to the fridge for a couple of eggs, no prizes for guessing what were there with the eggs.

In truth I think our 3 year old grand-daughter collected them with the eggs, but that did not stop my merciless wind-up of of my good lady.

Bread and water (and no nookie) for a few days methinks

Crossy, be very careful you don't eat them.

Going down it will be OK.......don't know what happens when they are coming out

Head down to Soi Cowboy if you want to know what happens when they come out... (That's what I'm told anyway)

Errr yes...ping pong balls

But really and truly, enjoy your family and whatever makes you all happy..I think the happy times like you describe are gold.

Please do not eat the ping pong balls. You just don't know where they have been.
