Well Thor was certainly making
his presence known last night. We had an almighty thunderstorm with incredible
thunder and lightning. The lightening
even took out a power pole in Rendal. We had a number of small cuts last night
as well but nothing major. At one point we must have had a ground strike nearby
as there was a flash followed by a loud bang from the kitchen and then all the
power went out. We checked out
everything in the kitchen when the power came back on but could not find any
thing blown. Frankie eventually found it this morning. It was the phone. The
base unit and the splitter were both blown. I imagined finding the polytunnel a
twisted, melted, wreck this morning thinking perhaps the lightening had struck
it but thankfully it is OK.

I have turned off the heat light
for the little chicks today. I do feel a little guilty about it but as they are
bigger and better feathered than the three that are living outside they should
be fine. A couple of days with out the heat lamp and we will move them to the
new hen house. I will still keep them caged for a few days so that they can be
seen and heard by the other chickens, then, when I let them out they should be
accepted. Here’s hoping.
