Its Friday. Again. Where do the weeks go since we took on the farm?
We still have very high winds and although the hen house (!) seems to have held up, one of the galvanised sheets on the stable came loose so we had to do a running repair with strong wire until I can (safely) get up on a ladder when the wind dies down. The weather forecast says that it should all be over by 02.00 tomorrow morning. It feels like its been going on forever, but its only 2 days. Every time I hear another gust, my mind goes to the farm and what might have happened.
The winds have caused all sorts of damage and have broken quite large branches from trees in the village. We have an avocado tree with a broken bough but seem to have got away without any major damage so far.
No trouble getting the chickens in tonight. They were glad of the shelter. We let Banna out into the field by the house for some serious grazing today, which took his mind off the weather conditions.
Had a visit from our friends David and Elaine, who have a house in Armenoi, and took them down to show them the farm.
Egg mayo sandwiches for lunch. Very nice. This required 6 eggs, leaving just 15 to get through before we collect again tomorrow .............
Kafeneion time, methinks.
