Hope you enjoy it

Hope you have a nice weekend, it sounds like you need a change !

Some broodies do dustbathe like crazy. They maybe realize how important it is to stay parasite free for the babies. Or that staying on the nest puts them.more at risk of getting creepy crawlies.

A lovely picture indeed but oh my god another puzzle . Maybe I will give it a try tonight !

The top left corner is an easy place to start.

I have never known a broody hen who didn't love rolling around in the dirt. Parasites, yet. But maybe they also like moving their bodies around after all that stillness.

It's going to be a very peaceful weekend. I'm looking forward to it.

I've been told that on Monday the building work starts at my house - the front veranda is coming down and being rebuilt. Now that it's finally happening, I'm very nervous about it

Done. But I used my phone which made it much harder to move the pieces.
It is a lovely picture.

Ooooh! Scary stuff.
Do share pictures!

They're all black teas. I prefer to drink them with milk and without sugar. Others may prefer it the other way around or with nothing added at all.

The important thing with tea is to brew it strong (but don't stew it), taste, then dilute the flavour with a splash of boiling water and re-taste. If it's still too strong, continue diluting in small increments until you find it palatable.

That's good to know. Thanks

Did you solve it? I can make one with fewer pieces next time if you'd like.

How did you get on with the jigsaw? Did you enjoy it?

I loved the puzzle. Great fun. Thanks for doing that

Yes, boiling water de-oxygenates it which means some of the finer notes in the tea can't release.

So "fresh water, coming up to boil" was what my nana used to say. Catch it before the kettle whistles or turns itself off.

I am learning so much!

I can't remember whether it was here or on @ManueB's thread but I found the webcam app I was using.
Here is a link to the web version, but the app works well on my phone. During Covid shut down I would watch bald eagles, grizzly bears and zebra.

I also found this which is more of an index and seems a bit UK focused: https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/livestreams-wildlife

Thanks!

I’ve been drinking tea wrong all this time! (And that’s not even getting into reheating!)

Me too

In my defense no one has ever taught me anything about tea before.
