I am starting to feel more cooped up than the chickens!!
Outside is pure misery and the idea of bundling up, as per Pip photo and watching movies all day is really quite attractive!
I did get out briefly to go foraging at the supermarket.
While I was gone Jeff washed all the eggs
The soggy chickens are still laying really well, considering the time of year. Our chickens have always laid eggs right through winter. They slow down slightly but most other chicken owners I talk to say their chooks don’t lay any!
I reckon its something to do with the warm mash, variety of food and being able to free range. (And love??)
Or we are just lucky!! 🙂
Jeff said he would use a rug if I made it for him! So I abandoned the other couple of knitting/crocheting projects I am working on to start on a rug. He wants it black and white. Easy peasy… It covers a whole knee already!
That’s all from today’s rather boring household.
The rain is coming down heavily – I will be interested to sneak a peak at the rain gauge tomorrow. (and I better go upstairs for a look and make sure the buckets are in the right place to catch all the drips from the leak)
Jeff will be sleeping tomorrow in preparation for starting nights again, so I plan to nip down to see Ruby and see how that foot of hers is getting along!
Cheers!
Pip is adorable all cozy. I’m sure that cat thinks it’s perfect! Cooler here this morning, 55 degrees centigrade and its 0740. We should warm up to the low 80’s later
Stay warm!
I am a bit miffed with Pip!! lol – he has taken over the knee rug!! Sleeping in it now, even tho he has a few other choices!! I had to get an ordinary shop bought blanket for my knees!!!
I just put some more wood on the fire!! Its noticeably colder out there now – you can tell there is snow not far away!
Sounds like your afternoon will be very pleasant temperature wise!!
well, you could make another rug for yourself! Pip probably likes it because it smells like you, it gives him comfort….we sat outside and did some reading this afternoon, it was much to nice to stay inside
