Lots to do as always

For some reason I cannot load a picture today.
The back of our roof is coming on well and is nearly stripped. It means we just have roofing felt and battening between us and the weather. This has meant a few leaks one of which occurred over our bed! I keep being told you cannot make an omlette without breaking eggs but this does not really help me. There are a lot of patches where plaster has fallen off up stairs due to the hammering. At least today lots of the old tiles that were scattered over the back garden have been removed. It will be much harder when the front is done as the mess will be visible. Also the dogs like to be out the front which will not be possible with the tiles being thrown down! I will be very pleased when the job is done.
The spare room is coming on well. The new wall is built along with the cupboard. Just the filling to finish then I can paint and stain the beams. We found a beautiful old bed that I will need to upholster. The frame needs a new coat of paint so I have decided to shabby chic it. I need to get some chalk paint to do this. I have ordered fabric from eBay to do the re upholstery and make the curtains. It will all be pale blue and white.
I have started sorting out the paths between the veg beds. I have squirted white vinegar over the weeds, put down cardboard then scalpings on top. I hope this will control the weeds. I have done two sections and have quite a bit more to do. I will not use any chemicals due to the bees arriving soon.
The chicks are much bigger and all have lots of feathers now. Another couple of weeks and they can go out. They all look very healthy. Broody hen has lost several eggs I think due to the rat problem we have in the chicken barn. We have caught several but they live in the walls. I tried taking Frank into the barn but he did not really know what to do.
The sunshine helps to improve life here, I love being able to get into the garden most days. I think this will be a good year for fruit.
