Every time I look at Sven's blog I get jealous. I loved his previous design so much I copied it (with his permission). His new design is so fun and it's making me want to make mine more fun (no copying this time though).

I'm just not sure I have the time at the moment. 🤔

Haven't worn this watch for months, but it's such a fun one to wear in summer. Beautiful dial and a Seiko movement that will probably outlive me.

It's a beautiful morning here in North Wales. My wife has taken our youngest to his cricket match, and our oldest is upstairs playing with his Lego out of the heat.

Me? I'm sitting in the sunroom, listening to the goats and chickens, with a coffee and book.

Perfect Sunday morning.

I have just eaten a GIANT bowl of granola, fresh fruit, Greek yoghurt, and home grown honey (by one of our neighbours). I have zero regrets, but I may skip lunch today. 🤣

Guinea fowl keets are doing great too. All 5 are loving life with their foster mums.

Two of the eggs are starting to hatch and we can hear multiple chicks cheeping away. Exciting! 🐣

I would say DeepSeek was the most accurate. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Our 2 hens have finished sitting on the Guinea fowl eggs - out of 10, we managed to hatch 5 of them.

The chicken eggs we have in the incubator won't be ready for another week or so. Excited to see how many of them we get.

My first rather large #3DPrinting project. Can anyone work out what they are?

(No they're not abstract Starship Enterprises)

You know what isn't fun? Living in a 200 year old stone house, with no insulation, during a heatwave.

There's collapsed animals (not literally) and fans all over the place. 🥵️

Create one of those Uses pages. Still a work in progress, but there's a good chunk of the stuff I use on there now.

The fox continues to prowl around our chickens. This morning we caught it in the GARDEN a few feet from our favourite chicken. Luckily the magpies warned us and we were able to scare it away.

It's not nice keeping the little cluckers cooped up in this heat, but needs must unfortunately.

It's handy when your riding buddy is a photographer. You end up with some nice photos.

So you know how we have the incubator setup? Well, unbeknownst to me, my wife gave one of our broody hens a cluch of Guinea fowl eggs to sit on a month ago.

She just sent me this...

|

We have the incubator setup incubating a dozen eggs, including the last 2 our hen that was caught by the fox layed.

Expect regular updates. 🐣
