Well Preserved!

-
A large box was delivered to the Technobilly household today! I was quite excited because I hadn't expected this to come so soon after ordering it. Billy Fergus was intrigued too.

I opened it up... to find another large box inside....


and inside that box was this..........


It's a pasteuriser/automatic preserving cooker. I bought it from here. It will enable me to bottle all my expected glut of tomatoes at one go. It takes 13 x 1 litre Kilner jars at a time! YAY!
The excitement was all too much for BillyFergus!
Gone are the entire days of standing over a pressure cooker that can only handle one jar at a time! It means that I can make chutneys and jams and bottled fruit till the cows come home.... well not my cows obviously. Molly was quite interested in the box, so everyone was happy!

There's always a downside - cautionary tale

There I was, enjoying the heatwave. Working on the computer in the garden and thanking my lucky stars for my wonderful life in general... when... my little hennies stopped wanting to go into their house at night, preferring instead trying to roost in a very small cherry tree where the branches were too thin for all but the tiniest of them. I couldn't figure it out and I couldn't let them stay huddled around the cherry tree base all night where they would be easy pickings for Mr Fox. So I cleaned out the henhouse, special clean and physically put them to bed. The next morning little speckle lay listless and limp on the floor of the henhouse. On closer inspection she wasnt dead, but hardly alive. I put her into a cardboard box and brought her into the house where it was cooler, thinking that perhaps the intense heat had made the henhouse too warm at nights for them. Tried to get her to drink from a syringe but she expired very quickly. I was really baffled and very upset.
