I'm hiding in the office (which has moved to another temporary home in the little front bedroom). Stu is downstairs building kitchen units. Mollie is 'helping'. And George is lounging in cardboard. Tilly is sitting in the van on the driver's seat. Now that the cupboards have arrived 'we' can work out the correct measurements and make the minor adjustments to the pain-in-the-arse alcoves either side of the chimney. It will be worth it though. ('It' being all the hard work that Stu is doing now that I have 'helped' come to minor adjustment decisions). To be honest I am best out of the way. Watching him work just makes me sleepy. Downstairs is a no-go for me. We have flat pack everywhere. And outside is covered in chicken poo. It's surprising the difference one extra hen makes. On the subject of the hens - we made a weather-proof shelter for them on Friday. We're still very much recycling and re-using - the only cost was the corrugated roof and the screws. And free:
I have a feeling that white hen (Dolly) will be able to fly over though. As she is perfectly capable of flying up to sit on my shoulder. There's nothing funnier than a hen rushing across the garden and launching herself at you for a cuddle. Stu did find it funny until she sat on him and pooped down his back. Yesterday I booked our second trip to Norway for 2018 (only remembered we have already been this year when I added an email folder for Norway 18...and there already was one). We're flying up to Tromsø this time. Further North than we've been before. We'll be spending a week in a cabin on a fjord - a five hour drive (and two ferries) even further North. Which will bring us around four hours away from Nordkapp (the North Cape). Of course Stu needs to have finished the kitchen, our bedroom and bathroom before we go (insert emoji of choice here). The red blob marks the spot (Norway cabin)
