Shakespeare's Pop-up Rose Theatre

Yesterday we went to York, yet again. This time it was for something a bit more special than looking around a few museums. This time it was to go and see a theatre play called A Midsummer's Night Dream. There was a absolutely horrible film made a year or so ago called Strange Magic which is a take on A Midsummer's Night Dream but it's really bad, I cant think of a film that I hate more. Anyway, this is a pop-up theatre made to be like the Rose theatre that was built in 1587, 12 years before the Globe. The building itself was quite impressive, even if it was a pain to get to our seats.



The play itself was.... interesting... there were parts that I find very hard to believe that Shakespeare wrote and other parts that wouldn't have been funny if it wasn't in old English. It started off pretty rubbish but it got better when the fairies came in, they weren't your normal prancey dancey fairies, at first I was confused and sat there like........ What? But after a while they became my favourite things, although the noises they made got annoying after a while everything else they did was pretty funny. They were 'invisible' to the hYoOmaNs so they were often on set along with them, I didn't pay much attention to what was going on because the fairies were doing random stuff in the background and occasionally messed with the people on set.



This is my Nan's post about the theatre

INCUBATING EGGS!!!!!

Image
Today we started to Incubate 3 eggs so HOPEFULLY, In about 21 days, we will have little chicks... Here is some info on incubation!: PERFECT TEMPERATURE!!! ;)  First off, eggs will normally hatch in around 21 days, sometimes they could hatch a day or 2 early or late. Secondly, eggs need to be placed in the incubator a week or less after being laid.(We put them in a few hours after being laid:)!) An ideal temperature for a hens egg to hatch should be around 37.5 °C but 35. °C to 40.5°C is OK! You NEED to turn the eggs about 3 times a day to prevent the embryo sticking to the inside of the egg shell! DO NOT turn the eggs after the 18th day! We've 4 chickens of our own, 3 hens and 1 cockerel so the eggs were incubating are from our own hens which in my case makes it even more exiting! Our cockerel is a Light Sussex, one of our hens is a White Leghorn, another one is a Bluebell, and the last one is a Speckeldy so we don't know what we will come out with!

Owl Pellet

Image
Today we decided to take apart an owl pellet that my grandad found. Owl pellets are regurgitated and contain all the animals’ parts that they can’t digest. They normally contain bone, teeth, hair and feathers of various animals eaten by the owls. First I soaked it in water, Then I put a few drops of disinfectant in. Then I carefully pulled it apart. We found loads of feathers and a few bones. It was quite disappointing because I thought we would at least get a skull. :-( It was more interesting then I thought it would be. Here are a few of the bones that we found. We are hoping to find another pellet soon which might have more it in. :)
