Morning, it proper feels like spring this morning, but it's not lulling me into a false dawn, I've done that before lol. If the grass will dry I really want to get some of it cut today. Take care all.

Good morning all. Another lovely sunny morning.
Lots of tidying and weeding so I will be happy to spend some time outdoors.
Have a good day all.

Morning all.

Thanks for the info, mothhawk. They were on the list of possibles for us to keep but got dismissed because of the noise. Maybe I'll put them back on. Mr Snoop liked the idea of them.

Hang on in there, LD.

As for here, cloudy at the moment. Drizzle forecast for this afternoon, so will try and get a bit more weeding done this morning. Then work and a bit of batch cooking. Plenty to keep me occupied, in other words.

Have a good one, jigsaw puzzlers and all.

Snoop, we used the eggs in spring - they happily laid in the henhouse (most of them - like the banties the odd one or two found themselves nests elsewhere), the eggs were similar in size to banties, but less white, more yolk. We really only had them as they were pretty, and were bought as a dozen fertile eggs that we popped under a broody bird. I could never tell the boys from the girls though.

I’m bored with it but too stubborn to not finish it.

Yep, this is me also, haha

[JanieB]

I’ve been doing the same jigsaw for about 3 months now. I’ve done the edges and the rail/fence round the windy footpath. Now I’m left with the rest which is all greenery with no discernible identifying features. I’m bored with it but too stubborn to not finish it.

What a beautiful day. Time to do some tidying up in the garden. The roofers have just been and fixed my kitchen roof. The whole house now smells of hot tar. Not entirely unpleasant. Prince has decided to go and lie outside in the sunshine for the first time this year.

[Shortie]

Lol, My eldest and I started a puzzle 2 nights ago. It's a Star Wars one but one of those where the picture itself is made up of LOADS of other little repeated pictures

Wowsers, it is HARD. I also now appear to have been abandond to it, and I don't even like Star Wars, lol

Snoop, I kept guineas with my banties for 5 years. They only make a row when intruders are about - fox, strange cats/dogs, people. They had free range, and mostly slept outside too, roosting on the roof ridge of the old coach-house.

Trouble is we get a lot of intruders of that nature. Owls, eagles and buzzards, foxes, boar... Goodness only knows if we'd manage to sleep at night. Out of interest, though, what did you do with them? I keep thinking about quail for food purposes (apologies to any vegetarians), but I imagine they'd be under constant stress from being watched by the dogs and cats...

Good morning all.
It's a beautiful clear sunny morning so another outdoor day.
My granddaughter is 18 today and I feel so sad not to sharing a part of it with her.

Jigsaws, over the years I have made several kinds.
My parents had some that were made of three ply wood.
I have made Big Ben, foam backed so it could stand with real handson the clock.
I have a mosiac jigsaw of the titanic, I have attempted it twice but it's back in its box again.
I have a circular one of London taken from the air in black and white.
The selection on the market is endless.

Anyway enough about jigsaws, have a good day all.
