The week in review

I are busy as a busy thing!

Last wednesday I sent off four chooks in trade for some drafting of armour patterns to use in a laser cutter.

Then on thursday seven more turned up with clucky white hen. Although I noted this afternoon that the little black one was dead, not sure why...

Still have two hens sitting, and the duck and the peahen have both dissappeared after lots and lots of mating rituals.


Spent time on the weekend working on fences and putting the flashing on the peacock shelter and wiring up the windows and making it all good. Now all it needs is a door, shutters, and a paint job.


Here's the middle paddock all fenced up, with two new gates. Goats are much with the happy.

Today I also broke new ground by pushing a fence around a blackberry hedge and through an ivy thicket. Should be right now until February, when I think I will hard fence all the way up to the road on the far side of Mary's place and down to the front border to bring it all into line, before stepping further out into the scrub and removing the fire hazard. Don't worry Miss Krin, none of it is native!

Once I had the yard cleaned up, goats to bed, tools away, I thought, time to look at the bathroom.

I looked at it and then...

It Imploded!!
This is all a really good find. The peatrap is in the right place to move across to where the new basin will go, and then I can put one in for draining the floo and one over in the old hot water service space to cater for the new shower. I reckon I should have in under control before Canty Faire.... I hope.
