A windy day that got progressively worse but I did
manage to get on the workshop roof for a few minutes and make a
quick adjustment to the angle that the webcam was set to.
Quite choppy down at the pier at teatime but Stevie managed to get
the boat in at the steps side with no great problem. |

Another wet and windy day so I didn't get up on the
workshop roof to adjust the camera positioning but just lazed around
most of the day as I was rather tired having had little sleep last
night. Just one of those nights when I felt very tired but not
sleepy so I had got up and switched on the computer for a few hours. |

The missing hen returned home and she seems fine so
don't know what had broken the hen coop door and the only visitor
recorded during last night was a cat that couldn't get access but
would have only been visiting to look for mice. Who knows? but the
door is another item on the long list of jobs that I must get round
to.
Spent a while on the computer trying to track down some missing
cousins where we had lost contact and their address's about ten
years ago. I think I have found one of them and sent her an email to
check, but so far have heard nothing back. Also spent a while
setting up password protection for this page but it is not quite
right as yet but it will have to wait until the long term effects of
the recent celebratory nights wear off. I know how it should really
be done but I am just feeling lazy. |

I discovered something had smashed the door to the
chicken coop whilst forcing itself through the bottom of the mesh
netting. Not sure what it was but larger than a cat and the thoughts
are of it possibly being a large otter. One hen missing but no sign
of anything been in the actual hen house which was shut leaving the
hens access through a small cut out opening in the bottom of the
door.
They have not been laying of late as I still have not fixed a light
due to not getting round to obtaining a 12 volt timer but one has
just started laying about five eggs a week. I smashed the one egg of
the day whilst making makeshift repairs to the door.
Started to make the camera bracket more secure to take out the
vibration but ended up making a complete mess of the job. That job
will have to be done on a calm and warmer day. |
