Yes, he often does feel left out at singles events.

@Zealandia So double dating may be an option, to prop him up?

@Lilac-JadeCanada Yes, a wing man for support and to lean on would be useful. Although this can be helpful, it can also become a crutch if you’re not too careful.

@Zealandia Yeah well, standing on his own two feet is not in the cards......or on the floor.

Guess you're in Boxing Day now. Did you have a good xmess?

@FrayedBear Yes, had a good day yesterday thanks. Went out to my sister’s place in Albanynd spent all day just talking and eating. Attempted to load a picture of their dog Nate playing fetch, not sure if it’s going to work though. How about you, hope you had an enjoyable day too.

I visited the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam many years ago. Gives a comprehensive overview of how his painting style progressed over his lifetime.

The collection can be appreciated online: [vangoghmuseum.nl]

@Zealandia TX for link.

@Zealandia just because your in the S. Hemishere doesn't mean you have to pander to those northerners by publishing upside down!

@Zealandia v.quiet. me, 2 cats & 7 chooks a-laying in the middle of nowwhere. Eve was better. 2nd photo which is on other phone & ½ kilo of kingsize tiger prawns which didn't last long enough to photo!

@Zealandia Friday

@FrayedBear For some reason, the website published the picture upside down. There doesn’t appear to be any editing tools to modify the placement.

Sounds like you had a good day as well. Prawns are always yummy. We had a ham plus top rib.

My sister has about 11 free range chooks on her property too. They’re pretty feral, are happy to hunt for rodents, So we bought home a dozen eggs yesterday.

@Zealandia She charges you for eggs!
Thought you were going to say that you brought a dozen rats home.
I have to lock these up at night because of foxes.

@FrayedBear I didn’t know that there was a Bay of Islands in Victoria. Great photos, beautiful area.

Fortunately, there’s no foxes in NZ, so the chooks roam free. I’m aware that foxes are buggers when it comes to chooks. Workmate lost a few to foxes in the UK, she was pretty upset about it.

@Zealandia Even worse with sheep & lambs. Just rip the tongues out so they get weaker to kill in a few days.

@FrayedBear Really? That’s pretty brutal.

@Zealandia So I've been told. I've never personally observed it.
