Hi Folks,
The wintery day promised yesterday arrived today. The mercury struggled up to 9 and by 4pm it was between 5 and 6. This was accompanied by blustery SW winds and some good showers. The weather was such that even the hardy ducks retreated to the lee side of their house with a couple even inside. The goats are using their sandbag bunker. They don't have much choice since the door is closed on the chicken house. They get in there and cause general mayhem knocking things over and chewing on the boards in the walls. I have changed their tethering arrangement a bit with a long rope strung up in a tree at one end and a sliding wire cable at the other on their collars. It means they walk closer together and seems to give less tangles. However knowing them I am sure they will find a way to break it. The disappearing chicken reappeared this morning. I tried to keep my eye on here while she was eating but lost her when i wandered off for a couple of minutes. She has the smallest of all the combs of the girls so is easy to ID. It is still a mystery where she hangs out.
The electricity has been on in the cafe for 2 days in a row now and i just checked the lights are still on.
Not much else to report. We both were painting today amongst other chores.
Our tea group has shrunk down to 4. Suzanne prepared an excellent veggie lasagne and home made bread which we washed down with a glass of red. I bought a bottle of port at BWS yesterday and i think it is time to celebrate winter by partaking a sip.
so on that note
goodnight cheers Simon
ps did anybody notice my deliberate mistake with yesterdays month?
