All alone

​this morning hubby went off on a motorbike ride with his mates. He won’t be home till Monday 

I love being home alone. I don’t have to cook if I don’t want too and I get to control the TV remote 

So I could enjoy my time I got  up

And got stuck into doing all I needed to do 

I planted the seedlings I bought on Thursday and covered them. 

I didn’t use the pipes and netting as I had ordered some covers that fit nicely in the wicking beds 

The black meshed cage was missing when I got out there. 

I looked all over the backyard thinking maybe it was removed for weeding 

Nope couldn’t find it. 

Then I remembered who I married 

I instantly knew where it was. I opened the back gate and found it. Just over the fence. We had those string winds the just picked it up and dumped it. 

He hadn’t tied it down. 

It’s now well and truly tied down with bailing twine 

The farmers go to for fixing anything around the farm 

I used two covers on this bed. You can see the zip ties I’ve used. I chose bright colours so that I can see them easily 

This cover is small but it had covered the broccoli I planted. 

I’ll plant some silver beet in the area that’s not covered. They’re hardy and usually pest free. 

I had to pull out these kale plants and two spindly chilli plants, before planting the broccoli. 

The girls appreciated them 

Now the demon rooster is gone, even the girls are happy. He would constantly mate with them. One poor girl was his favourite and was getting bald spots due to his constant jumping on her. 

Once I did all that I cleaned the kitchen and headed off to art. I also visited the pharmacy to get my prescription filled 

Once home I cleaned the fire place and got it ready to light tonight if needed 

Then I had to vacuum the mess 

I’m now waiting on a woolies shop to arrive. Once that’s all packed away my day is clear   

I plan to sit, watch movies and knit or sew. I’ve not decided yet. 

I like to surprise myself lol 

The weather forecast is for warm sunny days. At least for the next few days 

Hopefully my seedlings will settle in and start growing. 

I’ll wait a few weeks and plant out a second lot of seedlings 

That way I won’t have all crops ready at the same time. I’ll be able to harvest as I need rather than because I have too
