Hunting chickens

Even though I was working until 11:15 yesterday, I already had to be at work at 10:30 today. Luckily, it was only a 4 hour shift. I had planned to eat lunch at Red and Blue Fish afterwards, a fish shop that had been recommended to me by several people. Unfortunately, just as Shirley had predicted when I told her about my plan at work, there were too many people lining up and since I didn't have the time to wait for my lunch forever, I just ended up eating some small snack.

In the end, I was a bit in a hurry as I had a shift at the petting zoo at 3:45 pm and it always takes some time getting there. Nevertheless, I managed to arrive just in time. Today, my first task was to prepare dinner for the chickens as well as for the turkey and the pig. The chickens and the turkey got a mix of rasped apples, lettuce, broccoli and carrots and the pig got a few cut pieces of bananas, apples, carrots and eggs. Afterwards I had to clean the chicken compound until it was time to bring all the animals into their respective barn. We started with the chickens, who had to be shooed into their barn. That task was actually quite fun! It was a similar procedure with the ducks. Next, we put a harness on the donkeys to lead them into their barn. Afterwards, it was the turn of the sheep and the alpaca.
Now that the farm was almost empty, it was time for another goat stampede: This time, the goats were running back through the whole farm into their barn. When this was done, only one lone turkey lady was left. She was a bit reluctant to go into her barn, which is actually quite understandable - her companion had just died two days ago, so the barn was bound to feel quite lonely to her.

After my shift at the farm, I decided to try my luck at Barb's and consequently walked to Fisherman's Wharf. I ordered some fish and chips (with green salad instead of fries!) at Barb's and enjoyed it while sitting at the harbour. The walk to Fisherman's Wharf, ordering the food and waiting for the bus back took quite long so that I was only home around 8 PM.
