All our little household, the cats and the chickens, are overjoyed to have the living room full of strawbales. Schroedinger the white cat is clearly impressed with the effort we've put into providing a decent cat bed at last.
Meanwhile, Astro, the broody chicken, has finally started to emerge, but is now moulting, leaving a trail of russet feathers everywhere she goes. On Saturday she was down to two tail feathers, so I took some photos to show Dave when he returned with Rob.

This pic shows how dreadfully scruffy her bottom looked without its feathers.
And this is the last shot of two happy chickens - the next day there was heavy rain and Astro didn't come back from her walk in the fields. Note to self: chickens get et at this time of year when it rains. So now we have only one left - and I must keep her alive till Mum gets here on the 29th - she's so looking forward to having chicken(s) pecking round.
