I expect you’re on tenterhooks wanting to know what Orange said.
Well, LSS went to the Aged FIL shortly after 08:00, and called 3900 as instructed. A computer system took the details, and then a recorded voice said, “There is a problem in your area. We are experiencing a high volume of calls at the moment. An engineer will investigate. Thank you for calling Orange. Goodbye.”
So much for the detailed information.
The good news is that two of the eggs under one of the broody hens have now hatched. We have one little yellow chick, and one black. I hope we get some more over the next few days; hatching two out of twenty eggs is not really that brilliant.
