25th April 2022 - Fabio, Yurt Flooring and Pathways

Thought for the day :"The quietest musical instrument is a broken drum. You just can't beat that!"

I Seem to have missed a few days due to various matters - including family visits and late evenings, but I will start catch up today and then go back through a few days and get everything on scale again.

So today was another sunny day - and I started with the knowledge that the caterpillar truck was not working and that I would have to try and reproduce whatever Nathan had done and get it running again. The starting point for that was to put some more fuel in and guess what - it started and ran all day..
May have managed a few trips with chippings down to the path in the Lower Quarter.

Then adulted a bit when the pull rope on the starter failed and had to take it apart and then got it wrong and let the spring escape and had to work out how to put it back in place..   all working at the end of the day 

Another day and we may well be able to finish the pathways...

Sadly, the raised wooden pathways were not really built for the weight and a section has collapsed and I have a couple of ramps in place for the moment. also managed to catch a hook on the wall in the passage to the Ty Bach and rip a wall away - that was another little task repairing the wall but meant that I found an old gate that had been stored int he tunnel and using it by the back of the Chicken Coop.

In other news - Susie has been painting the floor of the Yurt with sealant paint .

She started the day by cleaning the Chicken out for our new brood - we have three pipped in the incubator (they are future layers from our own eggs) and one out ready
In the cages we have 9 "eaters"  and our own girls and boys.
News today that they will be removing the restrictions on keeping the chicken under cover on May 2nd and we will be able to let them roam free again ...

I charged up the batteries on the Canon today and decided to spend some time taking photos around the garden and so I have some processing to do today ...

Fabio was in fine fettle 

But a good day and the Garden is just bursting into bloom ..

Cheers !
