Have you ever seen speckled chicks? I never had until now. But they exist: yellow, with tiny black or grey markings. And best of all, in the autumn they will start laying pale blue eggs.
Last time I promised to tell you the fertility rate of my hens' eggs: it is 100%.
As astonishing as it could possibly be, all 48 eggs were fertile. In a couple of eggs development had stopped.
Last school year, I repaired my grandchild's violin case. The loops meant for attaching the backpack straps had torn off. She cycles to school, and it’s impossible to ride while holding the violin in your hand. Naturally, the violin and case—which belonged to the school—went back at the start of the summer. Now that the new school year has begun, she has been issued a school violin and case again, but this one is in even worse condition than last year's. So, I undertook the repair once more. This time, I decided to replace the entire back panel—including the piping—and cover the torn section at the end of the case with a leather patch. I used reflective tape for the top layer of the piping. The video condenses six hours of work into three minutes. If anyone finds themselves in need of a similar repair, I will be able to take on a few jobs starting in February 2027, and I can handle a few at a time during the summer break.
