The weekend is the same as every other day

I’ve been getting my hands dirty for the past few days and gotten to know the difference between darker and brighter looking eggs! The colour of the egg is determined by the age of the chicken. The darker the egg shell, the younger the chicken and probably also better quality. I have seen some really weird shapes and colours of eggs, “half laid” eggs and also twin eggs. It is pretty cool what the chickens can create. Every day there is something different to look at and pretty fascinating how it all happens. I must not mention the never changing weather around here. Not a single cloud in the sky. The nights get pretty cold, down to 2 degrees and days get up to 20 degrees. I am starting to develop a tan on my arms, so I will definitely be tanned by the time summer arrives!
We’ve had such a wonderful day today. Did not do anything different, same routine but the ability to soak up the sun and enjoy the day is the best experience you can get.
Saturday is usually a cleaning day. We still need to get up and be ready at 8am as the chicken need to be fed and checked up on. Afterwards, we should be cleaning our house. The gilrs (two of us) took up the kitchen and it looks now as if it has been renovated! Sparkling clean and white. The farmer’s wife Di baked us a chocolate cake and left a “thank you” note on the box for cleaning everything around here. It did look like this place had not been cleaned for a long time.
Tomorrow’s plan is to do our morning duties and then head off to town. We might just walk, it is about an hour’s walk. I am sure we will all enjoy it. Afterwards, we will sure have a pint in the pub to celebrate Sunday. Sounds like a great plan as the forecast is looking clear for tomorrow with temperatures up to 21 degrees. Mmmmmmm!
