Peaceful hen house

Finally...peace in the hen house but not without some effort and the addition of a mezzanine floor with integrated ramp,  all due to bossy boots Speckles.


Mezzanine floor:

Bella (white) in the middle with the buff's either side, I think Peaches on the left of Bella and Honey over the other side.

The table:

Misty on the left and bossy boots Speckles.


Searching for pappadums

From last year been trying to find something to replace Globe's pappadums, been through many trial packets/box's and finally settled on Mother's Madras Pappadum. Bought 10 packets today from Quality Groceries in Glen Waverley - they microwave well but pan fry not as good as Globe’s.

Target shopping - continued

Also got this Wi-Fi extender for the ALDI Maginon IP Security Camera.

Patched the desktop directly to the unit for setup to connect (extend) to the upstairs Wi-Fi which is the previous Bigpond Netgear CGD24N cable router. Then went into the Maginon setup to switch over to the TP-Link - all good.

Target – DAB+ radio

Off to The Glen this morning to do some banking & shopping in Target. While looking for a particular wireless extender (see other post) came across this DAB radio with no brand name other than 'Target Retro Radio' reduced from $59 to $29. Out of the box it works really well with good tone from two decent speakers along with battery operation - impressive.

Masters–clearance sales

Funny how things pan out sometimes, only this afternoon painted our el-cheapo Cheap as Chips park bench and a few hours later off to Masters to buy a new one. $199 down to $99 – good buy.
