Nugget the Chicken

Last year we bought some chickens, I say we, I did. To me they are therapeutic, they really destress me. Any eggs they lay are just a nice tasty bonus.

Our Homemade Coop at bottom of the garden,  looking good even though I can't usually knock a nail in straight.

As with everything, small things happen in life. Here is a small verse I just found in my notes.

" There once a hen named Nugget.

Who's eggs we hoped would taste nice.

But as she got older, he started to crow.

Any louder, he'll be in a curry with  rice. "

Why am I blogging?

This blog will be work in progress. Both in terms of its appearance and my ramblings as I write. To me it will be a diary so I can chart my personal progress. I do have another blog but thats more business related for my non writing stuff. One day I may bring them under one roof, but for now, keeping my head separated into 2 sides, seems best.

My main area of focus right now, is  concentrating on reading up on alot of forensic science. How and why things happen to the human body under a variety of different scenarios. Then use it creatively for murders.

But, I won't be only writing about that. I bore easily. My mind wanders. I'm tinkering with stories for kids too.

This will be my journey from the beginning. If I write anything, I will put it on the blog. Good or bad.

Book wise, via the magic of twitter, a true life forensic anthropologist (I may have the title wrong but she is an expert in her field) has offered to assist me with sciency stuff. Sooo, so, kind of her.

I have so many ideas but this writing lark is totally new to me. I think my last essay written (non degree or work related) must have been back in 1990. Come on brain engage.

Please feel free to comment on my posts. If you find any good websites that maybe of use to me, please let me know.

Thank you
