Welcome to August.

Morning, woke up to a big storm and theres water puddles everywhere. I had to turn the downpipe rainwater diverter off to the pondy tub. When it overflows it runs to a drain on the patio anyway so there’s no flooding dramas.

Gee I was getting so excited…you beat me by an hour, Veg…

Good morning…and how the year is rolling by?

Thought someone was going to beat me.

I am incensed about the bushfire report. People died, a lot of people, whole familys died, but none of the incompetents in charge at the time got jailed, nor even the sack. they carry on their lives like nothing happened.
Given it was an extreme fire danger day, record heat and gale force winds..the bloody lot should be in jail. Forever. Along with the scum who started some. :(

Lovely to see enthusiasm in the Forum…took a quick look at the “other” one last night…I’d go so far as to say it is stagnant…

Yes stagnant alright. But even the presenters are supposedly forum members, so why aren’t they answering queries ?

Haven’t been on the Gardening Australia Website for a few Months, well not this year.

I think you will find that a lot of those people in charge, will never forgive themselves…they can point the “finger of blame” but in their hearts they will feel sick , until their dying day…

in my heritage orchard’s newsletter there a site and forums just started, so not active yet, but they have many threads ready for all the topics and we must stay on topic. Fair enough.
But they have added a special thread for chatting ‘yarning under the apple tree’ and in there we can chat about anything and everything under the sun.
I don’t know why over there ——————> hasn’t done the same.

you’re probably not the only one upset, although I wouldn’t have liked to be the one calling the shots on the day given the unprecedented nature of the conditions. But certainly the firelighters should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and then some.

You’re probably right, they have blood on their hands, but young kids don’t know that. Thus no lessons learned about accountability.
My grandson asked me about this and I realised we should have told him a lot more.

I’d say a whole nation still in mourning. Certainly for the towns communities.
I was waiting for the report.
I wasn’t anywhere near the fires, nor knew anyone who died. But it’s doing my head in thinking it can happen again because theres no one in charge.
I wanted to see the 40-40-40 formula implemented. heat 40C , wind 40 klms ph, fire 40 klms way , away get out now.

They don’t teach morals to the youngsters like they used to, I was just thinking the other day…we were brought up on respecting our elders (even if they were cruel and dumb), only the weak bully others (but we didn’t know then that they were often bullied at home, themselves), you need to stand up for the weak, people will judge you by your deeds and not your words: that sort of thing…all relevant since the first human pack was formed…

What I found rivetting, was some towns had only the one formed road…it was the entrance as well as the exit…

Comments on the Black Sunday report

I think this comment just about sums it up:

Marysville resident Dennis Brown says he wants to see change.

“I don’t think we want to find blame about individual people,” he said.

“The forces that were released on that Saturday were so huge, it didn’t matter what humans did, we just had to have somewhere safe to go.”

I had a good productive time in the garden today. Pile of prunings to the compost, and got a basket of mandarines and lemons, capsicums and carrots :)
I’d just finished giving all the maidenhair ferns their annual crew cut and a storm has hit so I’ll call it a day and worm wee them tomorrow.
It’s gone really black out and the wind is wild. Rain teeming down :)

Got those marinating beef ribs to pre cook, then cool and package them for the freezer.

Found At Least 1 and a Half Skid steer Buckets of Goat poo out near the stable, So I’ll Have to use the Wheel barrow to bring that in during the week or next week as its to boggy to get the skidsteer in and out.

Who is “they”? I was taught all those things. Although I certainly don’t feel that I have to respect ALL my elders – only the ones who’ve earned it. Or I should say.. who haven’t done anything to lose it.

Oh, I respect my elders. But not violent/abusive/aggressive people. Being an “elder” isn’t a free pass.

I Have to agree there with you Bon, Earn it to get it.

Good morning, kettles on. Love the pics PM :)

So not enough sleep is bad for you. I’ve been awake since 5 am and I can thank the mans snoring for that. He ran out of his nose anti snore thingos and snored so loudly he woke himself up and asked me what was that noise ? LOL!
I can’t be bothered laying there awake so got up and cleaned the kitchen of GS’s overnight cooking mess.

Cold and showery atm.

That huge tank 3/4 full, fantastic Pepe :D You’ll have no excuse now, I wanna see huge veges from those vege beds! LOL

Ooo just time travelled back to July chat.
Back up to speed now.

Back to August! :)

This story is a bit scary…

http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2010/08/01/1549538/herbicide-tainted-manure-wilts.html

A couple of frosts did manage to do some damage to my capsicum plants.
Will they come good , or compost the frost affected ones ?

Funny that, some are frost burnt and others right next to them aren’t.

up the top for this afternoon.
Can’t go outside and Work as its raining here, Chooks are fed.

Should have been Posted here.

I have Drylander’s wog without seeing him:(

Came down it it Sunday night.

Me thinks Mrs. DL brough it with her last week. Elf has a full day of specialist visits tomorrow so I am off to the quack Thursday morning.

He’s cooking tea tonight…. that’s how crook I am….

See you when I am better.

I don’t know about the UK, but here in Australia they would not be certified organic if they used manure from non-organic sources.

LOL…..yes Doctor Bon…

worked today. was an interesting but not very productive day. had some o/s staff visiting. will be working on Thursday to catch up on the stuff that didn’t get done today!!

Filling up the LHS again…might take the woofs for a walk…or maybe just open the gate…still got some numbers to track down for MrD…

Ooh, interesting:

Plants ‘cry wolf’ to fool aphids

Well I’m back home again. Garden is so dry. Hosing is the immediate chore. Have picked 3kg of black russian tomatoes and there are lots of kg’s left on there to ripen. Beautifully flavoured tomatoes. The potatoes are ready to be dug up and it looks like a good crop from them too.

We had a visit from Bubba and Mr Bubba on the weekend. Bubba has given us heaps of daylilies that she doesn’t want any more. MrP has the perfect spot for them so he says. It was fun to get together and chat. Cappachino with bickkies and some fresh strawberries. Pretty yummo.

I’m home for a rest now. Those littlies wear me out big time. Either that or I have become totally lazy since retirement.

Check you all out tomorrow.

What a beautiful day.
Better saddle up the boat methinks.

Freezing here, 5C in the kitchen this am…altho’ we can expect a top of 23C, apparently…no piscatorial hi-jinks here…

I have been soaking the ground around my yard trees rather than keeping the grass green…of course heading out to change the hose with whatever’s on my feet…have currently 2 pairs of shoes drying out…away from Weekly Boarder Pup, who likes to “treasure” my shoes and socks (takes them outside and piles them into a treasure heap)…

This AM I let the two dogs out, planning to walk to the gate and back so they could toilet…came out an hour later (having forgotten all about them) to find Elle Wuffles proudly bearing something that looks very dead…turned out to be a piece of hide that the neighbouring butcher must have collected from an abbatoir, for his working dogs…what to do with it? lightbulb it’s now in the compost bin :)

Morning.
The big boy is fine.. he trundled home after midnight, cold and hungry. That’s him asleep most of the day.

It rained a good part of the night and now the chooks have their own olympic sized pool. I’ve had brekky (cuppa tea) so I’ll be out fixing that shortly , drain the water off and and spread the hay bales.

I have some Jerusalem Artichoke knobbly tuber bits to plant too. I have to find out first if they’ll take off on me, or behave, before I plant them out.

Still traumatised over 2 raspberry canes turning into 400 raspberries LOL

My frost affected yacon is but a couple of green leafless stalks. I’ll leave them be to shoot up again in spring. I’ll have to refresh my memory about when to peek under the soil to see tubers :)

Umm I think I’ll keep them in a big pot..in cool areas can be hard to eradicate. Great vege for diabetics, no carbs.
(I was diabetic, now no longer) I munched on some yest’ at a friends and tasted a little like an apple crossed with a carrot. But without the ‘hollow stomach’ sick after feeling.

http://www.greenharvest.com.au/Plants/jerusalem_artichoke_info.html

my net connection is always dropping out here. the phone landline is dodgy too.
i phoned telestra a month ago and they said it was probably my equipment causing the fault. now with all new equipment it is still dodgy. painful problem.

beaut rain here but frigid cold this morning and too wet to weed – so gardening has stopped.

Oops, what was I doing in July again?

Hi HP :)

Had a beautiful weeding experience last night (only 15 mins after work and pre sunset though!) – there were three kestrels (I think – not 100% sure) zooming around the area and calling loudly. One went right over my head. And then my local New Holland Honeyeater came and sat on the mulberry tree and gave me a “chip-chip-chip-chip-chip-chip” soundtrack for my weeding.

Makes you feel good to be alive!

Kestrels are pretty distinctive…they’ve got that fawn colour on top and are about the size of a parrot with a longish tail…

Your honeyeater may have been giving cheek to the kestrels :D

Got some seedlings from one of the Local Plant shops. Came home with 2x Kale Seedlings, 1pot of Beet root think there was about a dozen seedlings in that pot, 1 pot of Spring Onions same deal again. 2 pots of Lettuce so I ended up with 12 plants, 1 pot of Spinach and a pot of Sweet Pea’s All but the sweet pea’s are in the ground and been watered and Mulched.
So now in the garden is some Cauliflower, Broccoli, Silver Beet and the kale seedlings in one bed in the next bed there is 2 rows of Carrot seeds (still yet to come up), 1 row of beetroot seeds (still yet to come up), Beetroot seedlings, Spring Onion Seedlings, Lettuce and Spinach.

Cool Bon :) I only had magpies watching my every move. Oh and a few honeyeaters. I got a bag of wheat to add to the chook food mix and they won’t touch it. So I put a handful out , with some old corn cobs, and watched honeyeaters checking it out.

Also moved the compost pile to a meter away .. I figured if I shift it back and forth from it’s original spot, thats as good as turning it.

Raining again now. I’m filthy and need a shower.

I could only see the underneath of the birds, but it sounds like nankeen kestrels are pretty common. If I could find a recording of the sound, that would help.

Another soil article.. this time on phosphorous and how it is apparently going to run out (well, become more expensive/hard to get, anyway)

http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2010/08/05/2973513.htm

Easiest solution the article mentions seems to be recycling of pee!

I spread the parrot food, watered it, and the silver choughs had a fine old feed whilst my back was turned…finches are at it now…found an old “lace” curtain…you buy them by the metre…it has holes and will rot on the rod if hung again…I thought of throwing that over…the price of budgie food made me blink, but I think I’ll have to buy another box, water it and then throw the curtain over straight away…the silver choughs can go down and help themselves to 50 acres of sorghum (dodging the kestrels and other raptors …1 raptor to 20 silver choughs…manageable, yeah?)

Might be something in the old traditional gardening method of diluting the first piddle of the morning and pouring it on to the vegetable bed?

They can use less phosphorous in our detergents, IMO…

Yeh, good point. I use phosphate free (or maybe it’s low phosphate?) detergent and don’t notice the difference.

Our little female magpie is back for her morning and evening feeds. She comes to my whistle as well:D

If I keep barking like this, I’ll have to take up chasing cars.:(

My frost affected yacon is but a couple of green leafless stalks. I’ll leave them be to shoot up again in spring. I’ll have to refresh my memory about when to peek under the soil to see tubers :)

For the record, i was very disappointed in the tubers. The plant died off and i thought that was it, small skinny tubers. Bandicooted a few.
Then i looked away for the Autumn. They swelled up. Got big. Huge in fact.
I pulled the plant and have a few buckets of very large tubers and a bucket of smaller ones. Gave a bunch away today to unsuspecting folk. Distracted them with some fresh picked Tumeric. Heh Heh.

I read that letting Jerusalem Artichoke flower reduces the size of the root crop. I don’t know if this is true or not.

I had a stunning display of flowers when I grew Jerusalem Artichoke years ago:) So pretty. Bees loved the “tree” when it flowered.

Nankeen Kestrels are the small guys you will always see hovering on the side of country roads.

Thanks for the heads up Longy. I’m leaving my yacon alone until next autumn, then I hope to find good tubers.

lol, we keep bouncing back to July..

Oh guess what ? The house walls (main living areas ) are going to be painted soon !! YAY! It’s only about 12 years.. no about 14 years, since it last had a fresh coat of paint. They are a hideous shade of yuck atm. There’s holes and much repair and prep needed first. I have the colours picked. Grey walls, white trims and ceilings. They are large rooms so a darker ‘storm’ grey is ok. A lighter grey for the laundry and main bathroom has the tick by a master painter, again with white trims.
End of next week is looking good :D I can’t wait!

Although, Max is losing out to the chooks in the bravery stakes. He needs to get a bit more backbone if he’s going to rule the roost!! he got chased by a chook again today.. he decided the thick layer of hay I put in the chook run was great to roll in..until a chook objected, pecked his bum and Max shot out of the pen so fast he hit the door with a thud! LOL!

LOL. We had a rabbit that used to play chasy with one of our cats, when she was inside visiting.

Some animals don’t do or play by the rules.

when I had rabbits, the ducks would chase the chooks, the chooks would chase the rabbit, but the rabbit would chase the ducks! It was hard to tell who was top animal in the farmlet yard!

They’ve got some tumeric that overwintered at the Mitre 10…how difficult is it to grow?

Thank goodness, the election isn’t until 21st August…I was afraid it might be this Saturday…have a dreadful habit of forgetting to vote:(

Here I am late again. Blame it on the book I’m reading. Can’t put the bluddy thing down. Did the shopping this morning. It always swallows up half a day.

We are getting a lite sprinkle of rain at the moment. Supposed to keep going till morning. We will be grateful for anything we can get.

The daylilys we ordered from the nursery sale, arrived in todays post. They don’t look like much right now but can’t wait to see them flower.

Sorry I’ve been a bit slack on the forum. Struggling ATM.

My frost affected yacon is but a couple of green leafless stalks. I’ll leave them be to shoot up again in spring. I’ll have to refresh my memory about when to peek under the soil to see tubers :)

For the record, i was very disappointed in the tubers. The plant died off and i thought that was it, small skinny tubers. Bandicooted a few.
Then i looked away for the Autumn. They swelled up. Got big. Huge in fact.
I pulled the plant and have a few buckets of very large tubers and a bucket of smaller ones. Gave a bunch away today to unsuspecting folk. Distracted them with some fresh picked Tumeric. Heh Heh.

You’ll know HP. They jacked the rest of the plant up about a foot.

Not difficult at all. Pretty much takes care of itself. Just water it occassionally but not until after it has shot. Decent soil would be a decent return. Crap soil you’d still get a few bits i reckon. Youcouuld grow it in the semi shade in a pot in potting mix and get good results i reckon

Morning……. there are now 2 of us chasing cars…… elf came down with this horrible cold last night………sigh.

The plant is at the local Mitre10, which is co-operatively owned by the locals. MrD has had shares in it from when we first came to town. I’d rather spend a bit more buying stuff here as, by keeping the business here, it provides a product to a very ready market…don’t have to drive all the way to Bunnings (6 hours the round trip) to buy and don’t have to fiddle with mail-orders etc to order over the internet. It’s part of the cost of living here and a lot of us locals are happy to pay for it…

We’re so looking forward to our coffee crawl holiday. Seeing if we can get someone to stay here for a week is # one prob. The girls all work and there’s animals and one big kid to feed and mind. The big kid’s not the main prob..without us about he won’t go off. But he does need supervision. As the house does.

The cars that headed back to Adelaide from up north near Port Augusta…years ago.

We all did a pub crawl home after my Nanna’s funeral.

Our’s was a lunch crawl…..no joke every pub we called into on the way home……

either no meals were being served on that day.
The cook didn’t show up at one pub
Cook quit

We were almost home when we finally got to eat.

I just cooked some basmarti rice up and added a pile of vegies to it for lunch. Elf is asleep and I’ll make him his lunch when he wakes up.

Just about got the tas holiday sorted. Youngest daughter, bless her big big heart, is going to take a weeks annual leave and look after house and home for us. Her BF will stay here too, he can go to work from here no probs. They live with his parents and could do with the break too she said. I will make sure I water the garden well the day before we go, but she will water things if need be.

Date sorted, 30 th Oct. next to pay deposits on the ferry, hotels and hire car. Hubby want’s to go on a cadburys chocolate tour. He’s a die -hard chocoholic. It’s easter every day for him. Well he just got his drs report and his cholesterol is high because of the choc he eats. So I told him we best not go there then. His bottom lip is way out, lol!

hey, we need to raise ostriches! LOL Their egg is 1.5 kg and the same as chook eggs..can be fried boiled scrambled ect. One egg is equivalent to 18 to 24 hen eggs!

I like to start frying the bacon, and then add the baked beans, and the flavour of the bacon goes into the sauce. That goes on your toast with your eggs on top, with runny yolks.

Themes are fun :) I did a bit of a chicken biryani crawl last time we were on holidays.. YUM!

My theme when we were in Europe was toilets. LOL

I could write a book about the different ones we used.

As per my comment in Winter Weather: (80’s theme party tonight), I hated the 80’s fashion…why would anybody want to go there…those awful taffeta dresses and dropped hip styles favoured by the late Princess of Wales (who had the long legs to carry them off)…Sonny Jim is going as a character from “Men at Work”…

Chooks are fed here, and out roaming the paddocks, Chucked a few more sticks that didn’t burn last night onto the ash.

Morning.
it’s sunny for a change ,lol.
The chooks are happy, the dog happy, the man asleep and the son just went out , after being awake all night.

I will be checking garden beds off for what I want to grow where this season, with rotation in mind.

Morning all,

On todays wonderful list of playing is the following.

Sack Elf from doing anything today…..check
Make chicken soup
feed outside animals
push a broom around the floors (maybe include vac)
hang out washing
change sheets on bed
cook tea
care for Elf

I think that will do for me and the rest of the day is mine.

Not difficult at all. Pretty much takes care of itself. Just water it occassionally but not until after it has shot. Decent soil would be a decent return. Crap soil you’d still get a few bits i reckon. Youcouuld grow it in the semi shade in a pot in potting mix and get good results i reckon

Oh good, thanks for the advice Longy :)

It’s about $20 a pot, so I wanted to make sure it would be something suited to my style of gardening…

Cheaper to buy from Green Harvest.

cheaper to buy a piece from the grocer and plant it yerself… I have just checked on ours and the little guys are out of the ground and looking okay.

Morning all, been away again for a few days. Took Mum to the specialist got a good report at this stage. Another checkup and ultrasound in 6 weeks. Fingers crossed that she will get a good report then as well.

Came home on Wednesday. Time to get in and tackle some weeds I think. Also still got some green manure to dig in.

I had a kipper on the Isle of Man and very good it was too.

veggie Garden out the front is empty and all the weeds have been removed.

hehe… I joined a couple garden hoses together then put a small pond pump on and dropped it into the big tub of rainwater. I hadn’t even got around to switching the pump on and the water came out fast. Right into my boot.
Of course! the weight of the 1000 litres made it flow, and water will always travel to the lowest point even if it has to go uphill to get there.
I’ve watered everything in sight, the mini orchard , patio pots, vege beds and the lawn, just using gravity :D

It’s very nice Lucky. It should be easy to live in and easy to take care of. Good on them.

Well its 1.45 am in Luckyland …now know here as……the kennel for the criminally sick. I have barked, woofed and howled while both awake and asleep. Elf was snoring like a Mack truck and this didn’t help as I was chasing his wheels as he snored…..lol

So a milo was ordered and as our butler isn’t around, I had to get up and make it myself. I also have noticed that while drinking milo this seems to have stopped me barking. I wonder if the dog over the road would like a milo as he is barking too. Maybe he’s trying to communicate with me and I being so new to barking…. can’t understand him…….

Decided to go with a roast for lunch (never have a roast on a Sunday for lunch) and then some soup for tea with the said apple/rhubarb pie. We’re having roast lamb……. I spent a few extra $$$$ and bought a lamb at the wholesale butcher (take that stupidmarkets) and going from the price of the legs of lamb and sizes at the stupidmarket, we did very well with our lamb. Huge leg and so I’ll be able to have cold meat and pickled sandwiches for a could of lunches too.

What else can I tell you as I sit here in stony silence??? I could go back to bed as the dog over the road has given up talking to the whole neighbourhood. I can hear the elf snoring…….

Poor bugger he’s coped a beauty with this cold…… He’s off to the doc on Monday as I’ll ring and make an appointment later today for him. Thank goodness he’s had a flu shot. I am hoping by having the shot, he won’t get the flu as bad as if he didn’t.

So as I am now just rambling and pissing you off by now….my time here has run out. Off to read the news and see compared to some people….my life is full of riches and one of those riches is knowing all of you.

aaaaaawwwwwwww you all say.

Now you know why I don’t sleep…… my mind races with senseless dribble….lol

Gone now……..

I do love your whacky posts that you put up during the small hours…lets face it, if the neighbourhood dog was barking at foxes or something, it was barking well done…

Are you having “steam tents” for your coughing? It’s the steam that helps clear the congestion from the lungs (loosens it so you cough it up)…doesn’t have to be anything in the water, just steam will do it…

Just to let you know that you’re not the only one doing the barking thing.

Morning. We didn’t get the severe frost forcast, yay. I’ve uncovered what I covered up outside and the sun is out :)

Very hard night with gs. Very hard :(

Rest day today. Too tired and I couldn’t move if I tried.

hehe… I joined a couple garden hoses together then put a small pond pump on and dropped it into the big tub of rainwater. I hadn’t even got around to switching the pump on and the water came out fast. Right into my boot.
Of course! the weight of the 1000 litres made it flow, and water will always travel to the lowest point even if it has to go uphill to get there.
I’ve watered everything in sight, the mini orchard , patio pots, vege beds and the lawn, just using gravity :D

Many a sizable village in PNG still use gravity for their water supply. Moresby’s water comes from a dam, 800metres above in altitude and on its rapid descent it generates the power for the city and the water. It finally gets pumped for the last section just to maintain mains pressure, but the electricity for this comes from its own hydro plant, so its pretty self sufficient.

I had to look it up. You used it well in that sentence I’d say.

the Brush Cuckoo is outside my window, whistling with his “its getting louder and higher” series of whistles. He’s looking for a sheila, and he’s too lazy to build a nest. So is she for that matter. So they’re hanging around here, because there’s some blue faced honeyeaters and some magpie larks that build a nice nest, and this cuckoo is looking at tossing all the eggs out and laying one or two of their own in there. This cuckoo don’t care too much for kids around the place, but they like a good root, and someone else can raise the young…

Go you little Cuckoo, keep on whistling!

Well its 1.45 am in Luckyland …now know here as……the kennel for the criminally sick. I have barked, woofed and howled while both awake and asleep. Elf was snoring like a Mack truck and this didn’t help as I was chasing his wheels as he snored…..lol

So a milo was ordered and as our butler isn’t around, I had to get up and make it myself. I also have noticed that while drinking milo this seems to have stopped me barking. I wonder if the dog over the road would like a milo as he is barking too. Maybe he’s trying to communicate with me and I being so new to barking…. can’t understand him…….

Decided to go with a roast for lunch (never have a roast on a Sunday for lunch) and then some soup for tea with the said apple/rhubarb pie. We’re having roast lamb……. I spent a few extra $$$$ and bought a lamb at the wholesale butcher (take that stupidmarkets) and going from the price of the legs of lamb and sizes at the stupidmarket, we did very well with our lamb. Huge leg and so I’ll be able to have cold meat and pickled sandwiches for a could of lunches too.

What else can I tell you as I sit here in stony silence??? I could go back to bed as the dog over the road has given up talking to the whole neighbourhood. I can hear the elf snoring…….

Poor bugger he’s coped a beauty with this cold…… He’s off to the doc on Monday as I’ll ring and make an appointment later today for him. Thank goodness he’s had a flu shot. I am hoping by having the shot, he won’t get the flu as bad as if he didn’t.

Just to let you know that you’re not the only one doing the barking thing.

I could pretend to be Tom Cruise and come down your way for lunch you know. Cept I’m sure they will need me at the church. I’m pretty high up in that church you know. lol. You see, we can all talk piffle if we try.

It was funny, and it didn’t look right. I know Towntown has a big transient community which are made up of young breeders, so I guess if it works for the Centen Pub to entice them in for a feed, then perhaps a jumpy castle is just the thing for the Lord.

I do love your whacky posts that you put up during the small hours…lets face it, if the neighbourhood dog was barking at foxes or something, it was barking well done…

Are you having “steam tents” for your coughing? It’s the steam that helps clear the congestion from the lungs (loosens it so you cough it up)…doesn’t have to be anything in the water, just steam will do it…

That guy is only a Juvenile, and he will lose a bit of that brown barring. He will grow to around 22 – 26cms so comparable to the other birds that he will kick out the eggs and take over.

So as I am now just rambling and pissing you off by now….my time here has run out. Off to read the news and see compared to some people….my life is full of riches and one of those riches is knowing all of you.

aaaaaawwwwwwww you all say.

Now you know why I don’t sleep…… my mind races with senseless dribble….lol

Gone now……..

Just to let you know that you’re not the only one doing the barking thing. MrP and I have been left with a terrible chesty bark after our misurable flu and the doc has put me on new tabs and cough syrup to get it in hand. The cough syrup is marvelous and I thank him (doc) for the recommendation. I can send you the name if you’re interested Lucky.

I could pretend to be Tom Cruise and come down your way for lunch you know. Cept I’m sure they will need me at the church. I’m pretty high up in that church you know. lol. You see, we can all talk piffle if we try.

My favourite meat is roast lamb. It’s so darn expensive though. Isn’t all meat?

You’re chat didn’t piss me off. Quite enjoyed it actually.

Thanks Hon:)

Yes email me that name thanks. I can’t have codeine though….I spend my time with my headin the bucket chucking…but it does stop the cough…lol

It shall be done.

Nope :( Made in Malaysia, so its prolly full of Orangutan habitat destruction palm oyl. Still better then Nestles Milo in my books.

I’m avoiding Nestles these days, as much as I can…

Nestlay have a factory in our nearest big town. I know they make Nescafe there but I don’t know what else they produce. When they are doing coffee and the wind is blowing the right way the town smell just lovely. You feel like you could drink it.

He looks embarrased. Was he being noisy when you took that one too?

hehehe…with jaffas thrown at you for making too much noise.

30 mins ago I was going to open my sewing room and sort out the fabric I spread around last night, I made a little pink Percy last night. So instead I rang my dad and Mrs. Bimbo and popped the elf on his nebuliser…….. now I think its time to peel spuds…..

So much for tiding the room up.

gee you lot got chatty all of a sudden! just been to the markets and now I have a cup of tea I am down there trawling…

sounds like a fete coming up.

Bluddy ‘ell. Now I’ll have to try it I suppose.

I weren’t referring to taste. Just that Milo ain’t allowed in Mangolia. I used to drink Ovaltine, but I do like this mx-11 better :)

Aldi have their own malted chocolate drink also.

I birthing baby piglets at the moment.

7 piglets to be cut out and all the trimmings added to them. Then tonight I’ll hand stitch their snouts and eyes on. Tomorrow I;‘ll sew and stuff them.

That’ll be 8 piglets for the hospital and then I’ll do some chickens.

dont ask me, ask a Mexican.

However am I going to catch up..

After a lovely relaxing meal and arvo with our great friends, with belly laughs at their attempts to get our serious faces bent into smiles, we walked along a cold windy beach. There’s something extra special about the beach in winter. It’s just beautiful.
We got home and youngest daughter was here doing the clothes washing and cleaning up. Then they, her and her bf, said they are taking us out to the pub for tea.

We’re spoilt rotten.

ms pepe has a cold. so a lazy day looking after her and reading.
you guys have been busy i see.

No you’re not. I for one am glad that there are people around you that understand and step in when necessary.

When I decide to travel I’m going to do a big loop around Australia. I’m going to your place first for cakes and anything else you want to make me then on to Lucky1’s for roast lamb and on to Pepe’s place for anzacs and veg specials. Pasties I want to try Pepe. After that I’m off to Towntown for a Thai banquet. I’ll give you all some warning before I arrive. What can you offer BG? I could include you in the progressive feeding.

A question:- How do any or all of you store your potatoes when you get harvest a heap? I know it’s best to keep them in a dark place but if I put them out in the shed some mouse or rat might find them. Can’t keep them in a proper sealed box because they need air circulation. No room in the house to lay them out. I’m open to suggestions.

Pom, you only need to give us a day’s notice and we’ll be right.

MrBL and I drove up to the Mapleton Pub today, to have lunch with an assortment of bike riders there for the Moto Giro.

I took a few random shots useing a phone, so they aren’t too great. There’s some bikes, the pub and the view from the pub.
