Take your opportunities when you can.

The rain is back with a vengeance and is set to last all week. Good news for the plants I turfed out of their pots yesterday to plant up into the ground, bad news for me because I can't get out to garden. It's way too wet and the ground will just get compacted if I stand on it.The big hens are out though because it's not daunting for them when there's a chance of picking up the dropped wild bird seed or the odd errant worm.


 I got to help out with torpedoing the great trunks of pine we had stacked up by the wood store. We'd got down to our last handful of wood so some serious chopping was required. Luke did three sections of trunk before encouraging me to have a go at the last one. He also swung the axe to get some smaller pieces of wood but I couldn't get the hang of it at all. Here, the wood store is replete with great hunks of wood and blue Ikea bags full of small twigs and branches to use as kindling. I've put all the pots' contents into the borders to tidy the area.
Today I have spent 90 minutes ironing all the clothes I washed yesterday - now it's back to DIY and housework. Charming!
Ah well, I think I'll have a look at the photos of our chicks on the Chicken Soup post (put on last night but already you have to click on Older Posts, it seems I have done too much 'talking' for one page!)
