On the home front

I’m still here. 

We are still in stage four lockdown 

So not heaps going on right now 

It’s been very very wet and the ground out the back was soaked. So I couldn’t get to my veggie garden 

Today we went in, me without shoes as per normal, 

And harvested what we could and ripped out anything that had gone to seed to be fed to the steer and sheep 

We got a heap of silverbeet, or rainbow chard some people call it 

A few head of cabbages 

The last of the onions

I think I’ll cook them up with the cabbages and then freeze it in portions

The last of the lettuces 

We will have that for a our dinner tonight 

With the left over roast lamb 

My wonderful friend who works in the nursery industry always buys extra seedlings from her work and drops half  off to me on the way home 

So I’ve planted out the tomatoes in the big pots. 

I’m hoping to get early crops from these six and then if my seeds germinate I’ll share my seedlings with her 

And that will mean we will have successive cropping to last all through the summer 

Well that’s the plan 

Still need to put these in the garden but I’ll have to finish weeding it first 

Hopefully by the end of the day or tomorrow at the latest 

Inside the craft room is still waiting on tradies to be able to come but we are hoping in the next few weeks that will happen

I’ve been working on a few things that I can’t show you just yet! 

But I’ve been also making these trauma teddies 

Which one I have a few more and we are able to go again I’ll drop off

To charity 

So that’s caught you all up 

I’m starting to struggle with all this covid stuff mentally 

And physically 

I never imagined just how much good the swimming was doing for me 

And getting out everyday to see my swim friends, who are all in the same boat as me swimming 

To help with pain and injury.

The support is a huge part of the swimming not just getting out of the house 

Hopefully soon restrictions will ease 

And slowly we will get to a level of some kind of normalcy 

But for now. Stay safe and well 

See ya xxx
