The canopy

The days are so full of different activities, that I don’t have time and energy to write posts, but I try :) At least I try to write :)

Today I took out my new canopy which I bought last year but didn’t have chance to use it and asked Mick to install it. It is standing now giving in hot noons some shadow. We want to install it to house wall to make it more stabile. Also Mick continued today with nets in chicken coup collar. The nets are nearly stretched. Tomorrow they should be ready and I will be able to let poultry graze there safely. We need eggs! And in order to have them, hens need eat well lots of fresh green grass and worms.

I have repaired the wire in orchard where stallion eats grass and made breakfast and cooked lunch for us. This time it was chicken soup with vegetables, chickens and groats with tomatoes. Dessert – pudding and jelly. For supper we have eaten sandwiches with vegetables and egg.

Mick repaired heater cable, so tomorrow hot bath. I have prepared bread for baking. Tomorrow morning we will have fresh, warm bread.

After supper we went by bikes around the area. We cycled several kilometres across 4 villages. It was nice trip. We checked if my bikes are okay and they are okay. They are ready for longer trips. Mick says, that while he was cycling across France and Spain he was able to cover distance of 100km daily. For me it is too much, but 40-50km I can do daily.
