Pitas

Got up early this morning 

A painful body just wouldn’t let me rest 

So once hubby had gone to work I started making pita 

I use bought puff pastry so it’s quick and easy 

I made one using ricotta cottage cheese feta and eggs 

I then too half to my daughters house along with other yummy foods and some dvds 

When i got home took the other half to the boys 

Hubby had a big piece and asked was there more 

So I’ve made two more. 

Another with the cheeses and eggs 

And one with spinach feta and eggs 

Both are now cooked and ready to be devoured 

Should keep the boys happy for a little while 

On the way home I stopped at Bunnings and got more vegetable seedlings 

So I’ll be planting them this afternoon 

Hope your keeping well 

Stay safe 

See ya xxx

Feeling very blessed 

How are you all going? 

Hope your all well

Another day

After yesterday’s mammoth effort planting all those trees 

I decided I was going to take it easy today 

So I’ve baked brownies, and apple&pear slice 

I’ve got meatballs and veggies in the slow cooker 

I’ve folded two loads of washing and one is currently in the washing machine 

Cleaned and disinfected doggie toilet 

Trixie is scared of the dark so at night she uses a doggie toilet lol 

Made bed 

And walked over to to say hi to the boys. Keeping a safe distance 

Good job I decided to take it easy lol 

Once the washing is done and hung to dry 

I’ll continue with sewing my squares together while listening to the rest of my audiobook  

What are you up to today? 

Stay safe and well 

See ya xxx

Tree planting

The south side of the house is feeling very bare. 

We used to have one huge tree on that side of the house but last winter it came down and landed on our home 

Now we don’t want a repeat of that incident 

But we do want trees to look at and act as windbreakers for that cold southerly wind 

So we went to a local nursery that was open and purchased a variety of natives 

We got about twenty but we needed a few for the row of eucalyptus we planted around the workshop 

To fill gaps. 

We placed all the tree were we wanted them mixing the varieties so we can get a nice view out from the backyard and 

My windows 

As you can see were were being closely monitored by the livestock 

And here they all are planted and tree guards put around them all 

17 trees planted today 

Hubby has four to plant on the other side of the property 

Might do that tomorrow we are exhausted lol 

Luckily hubby has a petrol augur to dig the holes with. 

Would of taken much longer digging by hand 

It was lovely out in the sunshine 

People were walking and riding their bikes everyone said hello 

And one of our neighbours walked over to offer encouragement while keeping a safe distance 

I can’t wait until they all grow and flower and the birds all come to feast 

Hope your all keeping well and sane in isolation

Shared recipes

A fellow  blogger shared a recipe that I thought sounded nice. It used jam and I had this little jar in the back of the fridge for a while so I really need to use it up 

http://local-kiwi-alien.blogspot.com/2020/04/marmelade-rock-cakes.html?m=1

This is the blog post with the recipe 

And here are my rock cakes 

I haven’t tasted one as yet. But they smell wonderful 

If you give them a go post a pic and post a link so we can see them 



Hope your having a nice Easter if your celebrating 

Greek Easter is next week but I don’t see us being able to celebrate then either 

It’s one we will remember for a long time 

Stay safe. Stay well

Chores

It’s that time of year. The big clean before the winter

This morning I moved everything from under the front veranda 

Leaving me the room to clean the windows walls and floors 

I tried doing under the veranda but it wasn’t happening 

Those spider webs are stubborn little mothers. So I’ll have to get hubby to set up the pressure washer anther day 

But for now. I cleaned what I could, including everything out in the sun and moved it all back 

Now I can see clearly out my windows 

For a little while anyway 

How’s your life going in iso? 

Stay safe and healthy 

See ya xx

Sunday isolation

Life is plodding along 

The weather has turn cold and very very wet so the fire has been going 

I made a blueberry slice today for a treat 

I used some frozen blueberries we had that was from a friends blueberry farm 

I used this recipe but used the blueberries instead of apple 

On my hook I’ve been making circular jackets for the girls 

I’m not going to add sleeves as I think they will fit better this way I haven’t seen the girls in a month

So I’m not sure on sizing at least even if they are too big they will still look ok over a long sleeve tshirt 

This one is for Brianna 

Still working on Melody’s 

I hope to drop them off with their Easter choccies during the week 

So lve been keeping busy

Before the weather turned nasty I was walking everyday and managed to week all but one garden bed 

Hopefully we will get a few more nice days so I can finish outside 

Hope your all doing ok and keeping occupied 

Stay safe stay healthy
