28th September 2023 - Peacocks Hatching

Thought for the day :"Feeling a bit fed up and been comfort eating all day... Now my breath smells of fabric conditioner."

Busy day - dodging the showers though not as bad as it has been ...

FIRST PEACOCK EGG HATCHES !!!

No 1 is out and doing well and seems to be strong - sadly the other two have not pipped yet - so we may be looking after a single bird again ....  

Can't really see at the moment but it is in there. 

Also took a trip down the Donkey Trail - No real trees down though some drooping 

In other news, rewired the Chicken Enclosure so the electric Chicken and heat lamp can work in the brooding area...  cleared the brooding hutch and also the duck enclosure  which was its usual Thursday mess.

Found that the lights in the lower quarter have suffered damage and will need some fixing tomorrow.

New toy arrived - a hand held Cajon - saw one at the weekend with one of the other Bards and decided that it was something that was needed ..

Also received my new strap ratchet which I hope will allow me to adjust the kitchen waste pipe - trying to learn to be a plumber as well !!  We shall see..

Also arriving today is the new Flag pole - will put that up tomorrow 

So a busy day. Decided that we would sell the Volvo - can't afford to keep three cars and the Vectra is more suitable though older.

Yesterday - filed the Dormant accounts for the Crimson Moon and the confirmation certificate . 

Keeping on top of the paperwork slowly.

Cheers !
