A little bit of everything

​yesterday we had a wonderfull morning catch up with most  of our swimming group. 

It was a much better catch up as we were in a home instead of the pub. 

We were actually able to have chats with each other and getting to everyone, instead of just those close to you on the table 

It went for four hours! And it really did fly by quickly 

We are all good at the chatting. We did a lot of that in the pool lol

When I left I headed over to Bunnings 

I needed to buy more vegetable seedlings 

The ones we planted must of been eaten or drowned by all the rain. Even the seeds I plant straight into the garden beds failed to sprout 

I also bought some dahlias for our front. I couldn’t help it. They wanted to come home with me 

You can just see them 

They should fill in those gaps nicely. 

Today I planted the vegetables 

Yellow sweet chillies. The large ones we ethnics love to grill or stuff and cook 

These are the cucumbers I planted earlier. I actually harvested one and ate it while planting. A nice snack 

I had to replace the corn   It all disappeared except for two 

You can’t see them. They’re out of camera shot on the left. They’re considerably taller 

A better view of the chillies 

I also planted in the small blue wicking containers. 

I didn’t get a shot of those. Pretty standard stuff. 

I planted these in the morning and had to go in as Ana was getting bored. 

She asked for a smoothie. 

Thanks Gabbys doll house 

I only had fresh nectarines and frozen plums and apricots 

I added a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt and milk. 

I thought it tasted nice but Ana didn’t 

I think it was the yogurt. You could really taste it. 

I normally would have frozen mixed berries to use, unfortunately I was out 

Ana made the executive decision and pronounced we needed to go shopping 

I really did so off we went 

Got home had lunch and totally forgot all about smoothies 

She asked if we could do some craft. I asked her if she wanted to do Christmas crafts. 

Oh yes! She was very excited 

We made some snow people. We, well me, made a couple of small wreaths to hand on the tree. But I forgot to take pictures 

Her daddy arrived and they went home. 

Grandma is now hardly able to walk. The gardening, getting Ana in and out of car seats and shopping trolleys and sitting on the floor has made my back spasm. Poor Annie was trying to help me up. I do always have a contingency plan when I get down. I am very close to something I can use to get back up!

I’m now outside listening to hubby mow  the back lawn and enjoying a lovely mild afternoon. No wind, for a change, and no bright sun. Perfect 

We are expecting storms with lots of rain 

You know. For a change I just hope it’s not too much. Just enough to water the plants in nicely 

I wonder what the weekend will bring
