Hi everyone, I haven't checked in, in a while (notifiations are non existant for this thread here on BYC apparently.) Anyway I have been rather busy fixing stuff around the house lately, and there has been nothing really new, except, five of my young chickens have suddenly dissappeared. Really don't know where they went, because there is no sign of them, not even feathers. But probably a predator took them. C'est la vie, here in the countryside. As soon as I slaughter the old rooster, I will probably start incubating again. But I've got more pressing things to take care of before I get around to chopping heads.
I have a door bell that wasn't broken, but all the platstic had disintegrated on the buttons, and when I had a look in the back at the transformer it was pretty rusted out, so I decided to replace the whole thing. I sure am glad I can do all this crap myself. Was also a good reason to finally buy a wire tester. Yeah! I did have the schrewdriver thingy, but this is a non contact tester, so really cool.
My kitchen tap also broke so my DD's boyfriend replaced it for me, with a newer better one I bought. And my post box has been out of order a while now....yup I leave things until they really start annoying me...lol. So the new one still has to go up, and I might start that project today.
The weather here is now is stabilizing, but there will be no signs of gettting anywhere near last summer's temperatures. My sweet corn and brassicas are loving it though, and I will be harvesting the first potatoes soon...
Over and out from Erika in Süd Baden,
Have a great Sunday!
who must have been the predator. I cleared the bushes behind the coop too. Problem was solved.
