Up nice and early and after breakfast and feeding the doves and geese Karola drives me to Countdown for the weekly shop. We got there ten minutes before the advertised opening timer and I was let straight in. Plenty of shelf stackers and quite a number of pick-and-pack operatives filling other people’s orders – each one has a big trolley with several orders being filled concurrently. Over the last few weeks I have stocked up on most stuff we only need occasionally so it was a shorter list today and I shot round in 30 minutes. Then off to OMG for a loaf of their delicious paleo bread and home.

We’re going to try New World online shopping next week. I’ve ordered three bananas and booked a slot to pick it up; there were few slots still available until next Wednesday – New World only allow slot booking for up to seven days ahead. So I grabbed the 9:00am – 10:00am slot for my three bananas. One can edit one’s order any time up to 24 hours before the pick-up so of course I expect to flesh out the order over the next few days.

Installed the perch in the chook house and cut the hole for the pop-hole after fussing for ages over how large it needed to be. Orpingtons are big chooks which has two consequences: if their perches are too far off the ground they can hurt themselves jumping down; they need a slightly bigger pop-hole than most other chickens.
