Mountains..

Foinaven and Arkle, with Dukes Mount on the left..

a quiet Saturday morning, F came round with some receipts from A for the Gala day , so I re-imbursed A with an on-line payment. A few odd jobs, and then went strimming the thistles and docks in the hen enclosure. I counted the hens legs tonight, and there's still an even number!

Yesterdays trick of keeping them shut in has worked. We had 20 eggs today. We had been down as low as 9 during the previous week. And hopefully now I've strimmed, there'll be less places for them to try and lay in the open.

Did have a problem with the strimmer. It seized up on me. During the second tankful. I think it just overheated. I've striped it down, and the piston and barrel are a little scored. I've freed everything up, and it's all OK. Just having a problem getting it started now. A nice big juicy spark, so it must be the fuel supply. I'll look at that tomorrow.. Maght have to get a new one..
