Happy chickens

Boo-boo cockeral was enjoying himself wandering around the newly created area of the chicken field.

It's been another very hot day and this afternoon was too hot to sit outside in the sun. I am making the most of the shady courtyard by the back door.

A couple of disasters. I did a bit of sewing on the machine and then decided to stop as it was too hot in the work studio. Somehow I managed to trap my finger in the part that supports the needle. I could not move it and screamed for ian to get a screw driver and release the part. I had visions of attending A and E with a sewing machine attached . Fortunately the screw was released and I was able to release my finger which was a bit dented but definitely not broken It now matches in shape the opposite one on the other hand which was broken after being trapped in my car door.

Disaster 2: To recover from this ordeal, we had aperitifs in the glass room but l had forgotten the lentils boiling on the pan until the smoke alarm went off.

Not a very good ending to a lovely day. But nothing compared to the horrors and atrocities being revealed at the Grenfell Tower inquest. That puts everything into perspective.
