A weird day weatherwise.
Started off very gloomy with hardly any light then mid morning appeared a very odd red sun. It was caused apparently by the Hurricane Ophelia bringing smoke & dust from the Portuguese fires & the Sahara desert.
This afternoon it's sunny, windy, bright & very warm.
Perfect weather for hens!
Three good things:
1. We had a visitor while I was ironing yesterday so was distracted & brought the iron down on the back of my hand...good thing is with prompt action my hand hasn't blistered.
2. My new travel bag us being used for the first time. Looks like it will hold lots!
3. Painted over the little chips of paint on the back door.
Even your hens are talking about the strange sky and red sun !! I hope it hasn't disturbed their egg laying !! lol. --- Lovely rural scene Pat -- getting nearer to your hols with the new case ready to be packed !!
They look happy hens!! Grey grey grey all day here and very wet at times but no damaging wind atm! Glad that your hand is okay! And hope the weather improves for your Scotland trip. XX
@dide@sarah19 Yes we are looking forward to our trip north, so glad we aren't going until Wednesday, wouldn't be so good traveling in this wind! New bag is fabulous,
@beryl been a weird day but it's very windy here tonight Beryl, glad to be tucked up at home tonight! I don't like being away from home in bad weather, too fond of my own kitchen!
Cute chookies.. sounds like it was an interesting sky.. we sometimes get similar when Australia has bush fires.. always thought ironing was a dangerous past time.. look forward to your holiday pics..
That would have given you such a fright! Poor hand! Hope you had the right burn cream ready! That sun must have been weird to see and you would be grateful for the information as to why!
We watched the maize being harvested and shredded at the same time on our return from Devon - woild have made a good photo!
