I think I may
have over done it a little today, I am very tired, which is ridiculous as I
have not done THAT much. However the flat that we are working on is looking
super now. I still have some painting to do and we have to do the bloody
kitchen completely, but we are getting there. It is annoying to have to do all
this only three years after we already did it. Woe betide anyone who spoils
them now!!
The snow has
gone, and it went really quickly. I think that there is nowhere so green as the
UK and you notice it most either when it has been covered in snow and then is
vivid green again, or when you have been abroad and are flying home in the daylight
and you look down and see all that glorious green.
It has been a
vile day, windy and then rain – lots of it, I am so tired of rain, I hope to
God the bloody gulf stream moves and we get a drought for months!!!
Art has gone to
his new home and is doing very well, they are keeping in contact and he is
obviously being looked after well and he has company, which is making him very
happy. I miss him, but I could not manage him at the moment anyway.
Holly is fine in
the US, we have not heard much, but she made it to Houston and will now be in
California, in lovely weather, hopefully learning about hatching and rearing.
Not that I am concerned about rearing as I have lost count of the number of
chicks I have reared over the years. Our new incubator should arrive soon as
well. So there is plenty to do on the horizon.
I decanted my
damson gin and plum gin over the weekend it is rather delicious I have to say
although the plum gin in not clear which is disappointing.
The bathroom has
ground to a halt as we are missing some bits that should have arrived today and
did not, so I am pissed off about that. Athena has two eggs now, which we are
delighted about and all the birds are sitting well, which is very good news.
The weather although wet has warmed up considerably which removes some
concerns.
We are getting
birds flying again, regardless of the weather as we open to the public on
Friday. I sadly will not be here as I have to go to Edinburgh to give a
lecture, I am back on the following day in the afternoon. Which reminds me I
need to find someone to give me a lift home!!

Although I understand it's better for him, I'm a bit sad you had to let Art go :( He has such a sweet face! Will you be riding again, you think? Take care!
