7am
17 degrees, clear sky and cool breeze.
Let
out the chickens then settled into the Guest Quarters to watch the 2nd
last race of the Supercar season at Newcastle, NSW. Sent messages to Brian,
Louis and Ian to see who they thought was going to win. Only 14 points difference
between 1st and 2nd with Ford (McLaughlin) leading the
Holdens (Van Gizbergen). We are backing the Fords.
Lance
said he spotted a chick when he went into the chicken pen so I rushed with
Kayla to see. Mummy was sitting on it but I think we saw something under mummy’s
feathers.
We
were watching some of the other races when we heard a scream from Kayla. She
had gone to check on the chick and a goanna, called Bungarra over here, had
climbed in when he heard the chick chirping. He has been walking past all this
time but the sound of the chick got him excited. Carol grabbed the pitchfork,
Joy had the rake and I grabbed a broom. Joy got him outside and we shooed him
onwards though he wasn’t in any rush. We locked the door so the chickens had to
stay in till Lance comes back from the bore run.
Steve
stayed watching TV as he thought Kayla had just been nipped by the hen trying
while she was trying to see the chick. The girls saved the day.
Great
race with a bit of controversy but in the end Ford are still leading by 2
points. Last race tomorrow.
I
went back to the chickens with my camera and got some photos of not one but two
chicks. One is brown and one white – they were so cute. There are 4 more eggs
to hatch.
No
wind in the afternoon so it got a bit warmer. Steve went for a detect – well exercise
actually.
Joined
the others for drinks then watered the plants.
Watched
our 2016 photos – nearly up-to-date. Dinner then movies. Nice cool breeze as we
got ready for bed.
