The New Chookpen is nearly finished.

That's my chooks and Rick & Karen's Goose,(Hansel), as seen from my bedroom window. We get from 2 to 3 eggs a day.

I know there has been nothing said on my blog for almost a fortnight but I have been busy with the house and busy with the girls ,whilst Rick & Karen were in Bali. (Only to get Bali Belly).

Only a woman would understand that it can be a bit like hard work to be mistress of TWO houses at the same time, one with a husband and dog and the other with 2 kids ,a dog, a cat ,a goose, Chooks and a horse.Especially when one of those houses constantly has tradesmen working and wanting a cuppa as well as more things to be unpacked and found a place. Then there were several purchases to be made to replace the large funiture we had and some that were damaged in storage. So new chairs, little miniature dining table & 2 chairs, new wall cupboard, tiny coffee table, desk, printer and various other bits & pieces. Vicki has put some of our things on E Bay, she is a wizard at that and they are all being watched by a good number of people so we hope for success on Sunday.We have to get rid of a lot of the things we used to display also. A pity because a lot of them are antique and one never gets their worth.

Anyway, we now have a patio and paving all around the house and fencing is coming next week. The drives have all been re- done and we are hoping Rick will let us get remote controlled gates. When I have finished the inside, I'll take some photos to share on this blog.
