We went out for the day on Thursday leaving the girls to fend for themselves in the run. On our return there was an egg in the nest box. Nothing unusual there except for the fact that it was smaller and darker than normal and had brown speckles on the top. I compared it to one of Blossom's from the previous day and it looked quite different, so it seems that Sunflower may at last have laid an egg in her new home. Unfortunately it's been eaten already so I can't put a pic on here to illustrate.
Spent a grim day stripping wallpaper from our living room walls yesterday. Two layers (yes, two) of woodchip and several layers of paint. Thanks heavens for the wallpaper steamer - a top buy from Ebay a few years ago! Anyway, we want to paint the walls a nice plain colour, but the number of dodgy bits of plaster but paid to that plan (at least until we've had someone in to skim them over). Another job for the list.
The Little One and I are having an Easter craft afternoon today. I've bought an Easter bonnet kit so that will keep her happy as she loves sticking and fiddling with bits and pieces.
Right then, off to see if Sunflower has moved from her sentry post by our back gate. She has taken to standing there and barely moving. Most odd and a little worrying.
