Weekend jobs

Saturday hubby worked on getting the gate fixed at the workshop. Our neighbour has CCTV and saw a car go past slowly. So it became a job that couldn’t be put off any longer 

Meanwhile I was home doing exciting stuff like scrubbing bathrooms and toilet. 

Saturday afternoon and into the evening we rested. We can no longer work from sunrise to sunset. 

Today we bought more seedlings, some much bigger and planted them out. 

When we moved the mulch out the way to plant we found the first lot of seedlings. Seems like we had  small frost and that burnt them. The bits under the mulch is still alive.  We have left them to do what they like 

Now inside and watching telly. Resting again. But you know I can’t just sit. So my knitting waits on the couch where I sit 



Every time I sit I knit. 

It’s growing slowly 

The coming week is already looking busy. But in a good way. Catching up with the swim team. 

Looking forward to it 

A little bit this and a little bit of that

Ana was lonely today as her big cousins were back at school

So we did our nails 

She wanted one foot pink and one purple 

Red for her fingers and of course all got a coat of sparkles 



At least she had trixie to play with  



We went outside and visited the  boys at the shed

Saw the cow and checked out how the vegetable garden was going. 

It wasn’t good at all 

All the seedlings I planted have gone   I don’t know exactly what happened but I assume birds had a lovely feast 

So I’ll go and get bigger seedlings and re plant 

In the meantime. I’ve decided to knit myself a cardigan. 

After making hubby three jumpers i figured I deserve it. 

I’m using the same pattern but not knitting in the round and incorporating a boarder 




So that has been all that’s been going on

Life is boring but honestly I prefer it. So much is happening in the world and close to home it’s a blessing to be dull 

Pretty flowers

Just thought I’d share some of my blossoms with you 

Christmas cacti about to burst 



Some roses 



Pelargonium looking lovely and bright 



My lilac. It’s not looking happy. I’ll have to give it some TLC. Any ideas very welcome 



Irises purple and white 



And even yellow 



My rescue citrus. Not sure what this is but I think I’m

About to find out 



We now know this is lemon 



The weather has been very up and down. One day lovely and sunny. The next cold and wet. 

It’s making all the weeds flourish. And some of my brassicas are bolting 

But we will persevere 

Surprise

Today has been a busy day   Three loads of washing done and hung to dry 

Dinner is prepped ready to cook later 

And fire going because it’s turned cold again. 

While doing all that I sat down and noticed these two sworn enemies sleeping nicely together 

It’s happening more and more. 

I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop 

I was alerted to a sale Bendigo wool mills were having a sale 

I jumped online and sure enough they were having a sale on some limited edition yarn

So I bought six skeins of each colour 



Isn’t it pretty 

I think I’m right for yarn now. 

Although if they have another sale I might just get some more   You can never have too much 

For all those living in the wild weather areas stay safe 

Camping with friends

We arrived late last night at the farm. Our friends, who we have been camping with for years met us at the nearest town. 

We have set up near the shed in case of rain so we can at least sit in it out of the weather. 

It’s been lovely and sunny today. But the wind has been pretty bad.  So I came into the van as it was giving me a headache. 

I have started a pair of socks for one of the girls 

Obviously I’m make another two pairs 

The pictures have been added in the wrong order. But the clouds have started to arrive and there is rain coming on the  radar 



We might yet end up in the shed 

Full on day

The girls were all here today. They had so much fun. 

All three had a go at driving the new tractor 

Ana with her daddy



Brianna with uncle Mat. 



And Melody. She was almost driving it on her own 

To make sure I didn’t loose any while taking photos I got them to stand in the back of the Ute 

Grandmas got to do what she’s got to do lol 

They all gone home now. 

We are in the car heading to the farm for the weekend 

I’ve earned this mini break. 

Biopsy results

A visit to the vets to have her stitches removed and get the results of the biopsy 

It’s all good.  No traces of cancer at all 

It’s a relief and I can finally stop stressing 

She’s all  sleepy from all the excitement. Mummy has been giving her lots of cuddles 

Thank you for all the support.
