Well isn’t that just typical! Having raved about the weather forecasts we find that today was another hot sunny day and no sign of rain. It was this weekend just passed two years ago when we flooded. Ah, happy memories.
Yet again we forgot that today is the Day of Extremadura and therefore we have been treated to random playing of the anthem from the church. The shops are shut, but luckily our new superdooper freezer means that we always have something on hand. Even if it is just bags of frozen peas.
The chickens are steadfastly ignoring their new bed. I took their old box out, so they all crammed into a bucket. So I took that out and found them yesterday all squeezed behind Jesus’s father’s headstone that is in the barn (Jesus who we bought the house from – not the other one). Tonight we might try grabbing them when they are asleep and putting them in their new bed. Still no sign of eggs – I must look to see if they are likely to start now, or whether we’ll have to wait until the days get longer next spring. If that is the case, I can see why point of lay chickens are so expensive compared with chics as we will have fed ours for a year before getting an egg. And seeing we only have two girls and one is the smallest chicken we’ve ever seen AN egg is all we are likely to get!!
Edited to add: It has just clouded over….
