There is something in the water

What makes people say and do eccentric, strange or unacceptable things? Yesterday my wife let out the chickens and then shut the hen house door. If you shut the door they can't get to the nesting box. If they can't get to the nesting box, where do they lay their eggs? Outside, right by the door, just to make the point, that's where. Poor girls! Rosie was suitably contrite and would probably have begged their forgiveness had her husband and daughter not been watching with wry smiles on their faces. These things happen. Maybe there is something in the water.

Then there is work. Most of the time things zip along smoothly with the usual little stresses, strains and challenges balanced in with successes and achievements. Normal. Then there are times when things go horribly awry. Normal too.
