Today was laundry (two loads, although much of it is still out there currently getting rained on 🙁 ), breadmaking, digging out five galvanised sheets and measuring them to dictate the size of the planned cob chicken house.
That took us to lunchtime!
Meanwhile Davies and Scarlett were building a lego screen machine for a competition . Over lunch we watched Dragons Den although this weeks didn’t really hold the kids’ attention. I drew out the plans for the chicken house which was a job well done as in doing so I realised I had miscalculated a little and needed to readjust.
After lunch the kids washed and dried up and cleared away lunch stuff then got back to their lego-ing while Ady and I measured and marked out the site for the chicken house. We’re doing it at the bottom of the croft, just above a ditch which will extend to sort out the drainage. We marked the external and internal footprint so will be digging the trench inbetween the two lines. Tomorrow and Friday are looking pretty wet and miserable so that will probably be a job for the weekend.
We walked down to the village as Ady has been cleaning the hall and campsite loos for Vikki while she’s been away. Along the way we saw Norman and Claire so stopped for chats with both of them. We fed the animals on the way back up to the static and then Ady played with the kids for a while – Davies picked up the whole series of books for choosing your own ending and playing with dice which they have all been playing with together and has seen Davis creating a whole notebook with fab drawings and maps and things to go along with them. I peeled and chopped tatties, swede and carrots ready for dinner – we were having haggis.
Having realised series 8 is the end of Will & Grace we watched the last couple of episodes of series 7 and started on the first of S8. We were flagging rather but having realised we are near the end we are excited to see how they tie up all the ends. Ady and I had long since stopped watching it back when it was on TV by about series 4 so this is all new to us too.
