Do you have a skill that's pretty useless...........as in it's not going to make you millions of $$$$
Anyone who's been to the Chookshed knows I have way to many mugs (30-40)........
As they need to go into the house to be washed I have become quite skilled to carry a lot in one hand.........They all have memories of events or something I like about them so they cannot go...........
I do need to find the basket I used to use...........it is easier to open the doors with a free hand..........
I had a few plans for the weekend and they have all changed.............A girlfriend turned up for a short visit.........I decided to fix the old chairs in the Chookshed..........as at last week I had 3 broken seats..........
On Friday I got the timber in town to make the new bases...........
So I started pulling the broken ones apart on Saturday.........Got Mr Chooky to cut the timber..........
It was chilly but beautiful in the sun working on the chairs and then relaxing eating the scones with a cuppa when we finished............
The fabric I used to cover them we've had for years as I was going to cover a few seats which never happened but I am now inspired................Mr Chooky does some upholstery work so we had some foam..........the seats are completely new............the backs I reused the foam and board as it was fine...........
What do you think..............the crappy old black in now gone..........
The upholstery fabric we had works so well in the Chookshed and with the seats...........the grey frame now looks a like blue/grey instead............Mr Chooky is no longer allowed to sit on the seats with his work clothes on like he used too...............
The seats have been comfy and solid to sit on so worth the reno instead of tossing and getting new ones.........
Frosty morning today...........I love the patterns the frost makes...........
It was fresh for a walk but it was pretty still...........
the clouds have come over and the wind has picked up.........
And we have a new edition to the farm...........Meet "Diesel"...............
We were down to one sheep dog so needed another one............
He's pretty cute..............
He's got big feet so I think he is going to be a big dog.............
He's a black and tan kelpie.......great for sheep work and he's already had his eye on Bridget..........
She was not impressed at all..............
A few days ago the sunrise was spectacular.............
My chinese tallowwood has been beautiful............the leaves are disappearing fast now..........
Anyway I hope you have had a nice weekend................June long weekend here so I have today off at home which is great............
Hope you have enjoyed a nice weekend.........
Catch you later..........
Chookyblue.........
