No, not the renovations I mentioned a couple of posts back. Today we did some refashioning of "Chez Chikki"- otherwise known as the chook house. It is one that we inherited when we bought the property and we are seriously thinking about building a new house in a different location. However, the prospect of asking someone to feed the chickens and collect the eggs while we are away finally stirred me into action. The problem was the nesting boxes - they were low to the ground and difficult to access so we did a bit of very rudimentary carpentery and have ended up with a 2 storey affair which is much easier to get to and retrieve the eggs.
We went into town this morning to vote and do a few other jobs. I have also done some ironing, sorted the freezers and planned the meals for the rest of the week. Apart from $10 worth of fruit and veg we can live quite nicely on what we have. In fact I can't remember when I last went shopping. This morning G made scrambled eggs and grilled bacon on toasted Turkish bread for breakfast. As he served it the comment was, "That will be $15.90, thanks. Tilly's - eat your heart out." His remark was a reference to the yummy breakfast we had at Tilly's Cafe in Canberra last weekend when we were there with a group of friends.
Our Japan planning is gradually coming together. We now have arrangements for the chickens and the dog. I have started making lists of what we need to take. I am trying to keep on top of the washing and ironing so that it is not a mad rush later in the week. Tonight I need to put the itinerary together and gather all of the info we have saved on the interenet so that I can print it off next week.
