We love bantam eggs.

Are there any practical disadvanteges to choosing bantams instead of
chickens..

(My wife Catherine would like a white one... and she intends to call it
'poulet').

Are we sad or wot!

As MuddyMike implies, nothing wrong with being sad like that; but be
prepared to get surrounded with unproductive old birds you can't bring
yourself to kill!

Gosh. I'm glad my husband feels like that. ;-)

My dear! How could you possibly imagine. . ?

Possibly because I got another year older today and am filled with
self-pity. Actually, I'm not and never have been but it's worth a tug on
the old violin strings. ;-)

Hey! Life begins at . . [fill in as appropriate]. It was one of the
great vintages, and, like all the best ones, it won't be mature for at
_least_ another twenty years. Happy birthday! (My only real complaint
about birthdays is the cards people send one. Maybe I should start
worrying the year they all start sending _nice_ ones.)
