Duck Sheds....

Today l built a duck pen! It took me ALL DAY!! All l thought l had to do was nail 5 pallets together and stick some tin on the top and it took me ALL DAY!!!! This building lark can go jump!!!! Doesn't help when every tool you want/need/forgot is a 5 minute walk away!!! Nailing the pallets together was easy.....(sort of) then l had to work out overhang, rain, wind, leaking, draughts, HOW to attach the tin................and so it went on!!! Where is Geoff when you need him??? l don't mind doing what l am told ( don't laugh Geoff when you read that bit!) when we build something..... but having to work it all out myself????????????????

ANYWAY .........l did it and it's pretty solid, l don't think it will leak, l don't think the wind will blow it away and l think its quite snug!!!! l even got creative and added two funky little green pointy bits of tin at the front to give them a bit of privacy!!!

The duck who is still sitting on her eggs is in the second bay all wrapped up in a dog crate hopefully not too stressed with the move. l shall let her out tomorrow when she is settled with the change of scenery. In the next few days l will run a dividing fence down the middle so l have a secure pen for two lots of ducklets and /or geeslets at the same time.

The little duck with hatched kidlets thought it was ok! l wouldn't want to have to do that every day though!!!!

 And slowly my massive plant less flower bed is getting a bit of colour. Pink Boronias.......

and this...................it's some bulb thing.......................there's just one and its purple and pretty.........but l don't know what it is.

And with Geoff's dad visiting for a week we are spoilt every night with delicious food. How lucky to have another fabulous cook in the house! Thank you Keith!
