Maintaining A Bipedal Stance...

poliphiloI did my back in yesterday. I was sitting at my desk doing nothing in particular and just felt it go. This happens sometimes but I can't think it's ever happened before with so little provocation. Really, we should never have adopted a bipedal stance. We're not built for it. A bipedal stance is for the birds.
Talking about birds, I was reading the other day that T Rex's nearest surviving relative is the domestic chicken. Really? Of all the birds in all the world? I think they're just saying that for effect. Still, I'd love it to be true.
And on the broader subject of livestock, my mother got offered a sheepdog yesterday. The woman who keeps sheep in the field my mother owns has a superannuated one she wants rid of. My mother loves dogs but she's not up to talking them for walkies any more so she said "no".

Never be tempted into having free range chickens because they will decide that they have the right to roam anywhere, including the kitchen. They will also terrorise cats and snatch the cream cake you are holding out of your hand. Cockerels will also attack without provocation and can bear a grudge forever.
Yes, I do speak from experience!
