Olivia couldn't wait on her breakfast arriving this morning!
Instead she got right in the bin with it!

Lottie likes to climb into the treadle feeder.

Thanks, Shad. I like it too but I'm pretty much over it.

It’s gorgeous! Why can our art get tedious sometimes? It’s meant to be therapeutic!

It doesn't give instant gratification, that's its problem!

It doesn't give instant gratification, that's its problem!

It does every time I see it.

I saw Eve on Saturday. As we drove around town she was snuggled in the rug you made. It could not help but make me smile and give me gratification.

I was thinking of getting that one for hubby. I'd be interested to know what you think of it MJ.

The tea arrived today. It was beautifully packaged in a linen draw string bag, with a sample of their French Earl Grey.

It brewed well.

And with milk

Quaffable was the first word that came to mind. I'm knocking it back in quite large gulps.

Second cup from the pot. Much the same colour as the first.

Quite large leaves.

It's drier on the second cup but there's not a huge difference in flavour intensity.

On the whole, for my palate it's a very good tea!

Yes ~ but you didn't have to make it. Any creative effort requires a fair bit of drudgery which mitigates the pleasure of the finished object. I browse Etsy for the pure pleasure of looking @ beautiful things. It gives me great gratification ~ but I know it would not be the same if I had to make any of it.

Doing my mid morning rounds I found Portia down in the shed & struggling to move. ​

As she was her usual self earlier I promptly hit the panic button & hoyed her up to the house for vitamins, minerals, energy boost, coccidia. I was taking no chances after Sif. In the process of all that she dropped a soft shelled egg so I guess that was her problem. I kept her caged for the rest of the morning as she was wobbly but let her out for the afternoon. She has rested most of the day & I expect to have to carry her to bed but we shall see. She took herself off to re-join the outskirts of the tribe so hopefully it's just a bad day. She's a funny, quirky hen & I would be sorry to loose her.

Oh no! I'm so sorry I hope she gets her strength back overnight

No, but when I’m cutting out letters when I’m scrapbooking it’s soooooooooo boooooooooooring!

How did she go at bedtime?

My phone just went completely psycho and deleted a rather lengthy response I was writing! Reader’s Digest version: more rain, coccidiosis treatment to finish tomorrow. New chook Taj Mahal arriving in less than a week!
