First post COVID trip abroad (part 2)


What you see above is the entrance of my nest where I already had some of the best sleeps ever as the area is most of the times literally as quiet as it gets.

Let me show you around the garden:

Cute bird feeder


One more bird feeder

Heatwave killer AKA pool

Rather generous trampoline

Tallest tree of the garden

As you can see this place is a kids heaven.
And the house itself matches that:



As an aged kid I already love it and so (I guess) do the non human residents of the place.
Let me introduce you to those lovely ladies generously offering me fresh eggs on a daily basis:

Starring in alphabetical order, above you see Annie (the white one), Mijntje (the grey brownish one) and Tina (the black one). The order is alphabetical but also because Annie seems to be the most aggressive of the gang focusing exclusively against Mijntje. Don't ask me why, my Chicken are even worse than my Dutch are so I have no clue. Owners suspect hormones.

It's also interesting to mention other differences among those (lovely when not fighting) ladies: Annie changes feathers and doesn't lay eggs yet. She might be jealous of the yummy bright green ones Mijntje produces (almost) daily hence she hates her. Tina is notorious as an escape artist but since I am around hasn't tried anything like that so far.

Last but not least, ladies and gents here's Arie, the 13 year old diabetic cat:


Yes, he so loves it when I pet him. Not that much when I inject him though and I have to do that twice per day. During the last one he didn't yelled "ouch" so I think I've found the smoothest way to do it already. Despite his age he still catches mice. And also is a great poser:


See him in action here:


Hats off to the owners of the place for saving him from euthanasia. And for the whole place of course.

Now the lives of all the above (especially his) are in my hands. So far all good. My calendar is full of such commitments for the next days. I will manage to show you around the area in my free time. Stay tuned - it's really nice around here!
