A quick clean out this morning only had time to have the hens out as they didn't won't to come in due to a late feed yesterday not much happening at work first day back one or two jobs on tomorrow

Built a garden bench on the back wall etc 40 odd years ago here. Missus tell's me the workmanship was utter crap & she now wants a new one as such & so that will fill my day in I suspect after I take her to hospital for some tests. Cheers.

Sorted my racers out because totally knackered up .wrong boxes ect ect

Dark and cold start for me at 06:30, made tea and got birds breakfast ready.

Had our breakfast.

We both fed and cleaned out the bids.

My lovely honey went shopping and I did jobs around here. Sorted out our new consignment of screws from Screwfix. Set some 'bombs' to kill moles in our lawn, then watched 'The Yorkshire Vet' on the telly.

Lunch then more jobs - get birds food ready, let cocks out then hens. Fed everyone. Most of the capable stock birds are now on 2 eggs each pair.

Now time for us!
