I remembered to take a breakfast photo.

I got a slightly better brew from the tea leaves by using 50% more in the pot and letting it stand for about 7 minutes. It's not very full bodied if that makes sense. I think the strength is good but the colour and flavour are not as satisfying as I'm used too.

Ridiculously trivial problem to be having :duc

It's not trivial. Good tea helps to set a good mood.

Tasteless tea is pointless!
 
The hens are moved in properly now!

We put most of their important things in the run.

Ivy has found the nest box. Janet is taking a bath. Mary and Peggy are in a cuddle puddle, under the table and behind the tree stumps.

Everyone has taken a snack and a sip of water.

It looks fantastic, MJ! Are you pleased?

Very. I'm very satisfied with the dimensions. I'm confident it will comfortably house 8-12 hens, which is my long trrm goal.

I'm also very satisfied with the craftsmanship which is sturdy without being too fussy.

The wire is far stronger than I realised. No fox or dog will be able to tear it off.

I like the way the uprights are placed so they make square shapes between them. There are 8 generous squares and 1 at a time will grow veg.

I think the top left square will be where I eventually put the roosting box. For now, they'll go back and forth mornings and nights so they can roost in the foxproof coop as usual.

I think I'll use the same wire under the paved apron. I'll poke a sheet under the wall, bend it up on the indide and nail it to the lower rail. Then it will make a skirt under the pavers.
