Hello!
Yesterday I muddled through a few things, then gave up and did a speedy walk around Anniversary Bay with Jeff. We smashed our normal time too! Pre-Overland days we were doing that circuit in over two hours. A few days ago we managed 1hr & 45 minutes. Yesterday we felt a bit chuffed with a 1hr & 31 minute dash!! (pant pant)
So – I felt brave enough to start trying on clothes to see what I could take to summer in Texas. I was upstairs rifling through my swimmer collection and I could hear all these thudding noises… thought it was Jeff.
Well… it was Jeff, but not my Jeff… Cousin Jeff with a load of wood!
Yay (frantically adding this to list)
So – I guess my next job is wood stacking!
Actually there was a small lavender bush growing in the path where the wheel barrow would be going, so I had to do a bit of transplanting first.
It was growing so happily in the dodgiest soil ever!
Since I have managed to do nothing with this patch since I created it, I figured the lavender could live near the self seeded pumpkin.
And I might add my compost soil in here is a bit divine!
I would also like to point out how brilliant this plot is for lack of weeds!! I created it months and months ago, and not a weed in sight! That thick layer of newspaper really did the trick! One day I might plant something in it!! (besides the lavender bush)
Anyway, I then busied myself and turned this –
into this –
It was kind of annoying because I just finished clearing the stack and Cousin Jeff returned to drop the second load off!!
But I left this pile here and will look forward to sorting it out tomorrow
Time to get back into my packing mode.
I had to write a new list – just of people and presents/souvenirs I wanted to take. I think I finally have most of that sorted. (and packed into safe boxes and packets)
Then it was the agony of going through my clothes to see what was suitable to take with me. Happily a lot of my clothes are fitting better. I think I have found enough that aren’t too horrible looking to pack so I can avoid the whole dreaded ‘shopping for clothes’ excursion.
Granted the jeans I want to wear on the plane need a button sewed on, but I can cope with that (All my other jeans have worn through in the nether regions and aren’t possibly the best ones to take with me)
Anyway, I have a pile of possibles to go through, presents sorted, shoes glued and bags decided upon.
11 days and 14 hours to go.
Cheers!
