Al’s Kitchen-
Chicken Curry coming up to simmer so now pop on the lid and start washing up – then have a rest.
Happy too see that the Bailey & Zia are using the new Foyer cat tower, in particular for observing front yard bird & chook activity.
Wi-Fi Chicken Door – Part 1
With regard to the morning egg laying ritual I am going to build a Wi-Fi enabled chook door opener, not the coop door but another automated door integrated into the chook run gate! so I can remotely let the girls (at separate times) access/exit the hen house – phew. Why… daylight saving has stuffed up my morning routine!
I am now letting the girls out about one hour before their egg laying time so I have to closely watch them on the cameras and gout out to let them in. Same again to let them out!
I am browsing Amazon looking for suitable wi-fi smart shut-off water valves (actuators) – compatible with Alexa.
This one looks good with a choice of two Android apps, checkout the video!

Mail from AusPost-
Our parcel collection notifications are going digital for MyPost customers
Hi Alan,
From 5 October, we’ll send digital notifications* to advise of an attempted delivery, instead of leaving a paper card.
These notifications will let you know that we tried to deliver and the reason why it couldn’t be completed, and when your parcel is ready for collection at the post office or a nearby collection point. These will be sent via email, SMS or through the AusPost app. If you use the app, you’ll also get a one-off QR code specific to that parcel.
Simply show the notification, the QR code (for app users) and suitable ID at the Post Office to collect your parcel. Your parcel will still be kept at the Post Office for 10 business days for you to collect, and we’ll send you a reminder on day 5 if your parcel hasn’t been collected.
Don’t worry if your family or friends aren’t MyPost customers, they’ll still get a paper card.
Cat tower for the Foyer area-
Arrived yesterday and we assembled the thing this morning.
The main objective of this is kitty entertainment, full view of the front yard watching bird and chook activity :-)
Bailey jumped on ET’s lap for cuddles and she noticed he had oil smeared on one side.
Jousting for the same nesting box :-)
