Odds & Sods

Chooks laying well!

Lucky Jeff trotted back off to work tonight – armed with 4 dozen eggs and a big slice of cake 🙂

Our chooks are certainly pulling their weight well!

Jeff had some old bait in the freezer that he thought he would try out on the chickens – was funny, first they crowded around fast to see

Then they all kinda stepped back in horror and suspicion! A  braver one eventually gave them a bit of a pecking, but then spent five minutes rubbing her beak on the ground in disgust!

I suspect the local crows weren’t as fussy as our girls!

I went off into town today – figured I was better away from the house, then I wouldn’t be tempted to be doing things in the garden. My back really isn’t playing the game. I need to remember I am in my mid 40’s not mid 20’s and somehow all the structural bits don’t play nice when you overdo things! 🙂

There must have been a big car rally over at Stanley or Smithton today – so many great old vehicles rumbled past us today!

Cheery waves from everyone that went by too!

OK – I did a teeny bit of gardening – one of the tomatoes in the hothouse had big enough laterals to pinch off

So I popped them in a glass to watch the roots form (I like that bit!)

Some of you expressed interest in the calendar I was getting printed. I finally sorted out costs/postage blah blah. You can view the calendar here.
The cost is $16 plus postage. USA & Canada is $8, within Australia $3.  Just leave me a message if interested (no pressure tho! lol) and I will send you an email to organise it.

Have a wonderful start to the new week!

Cheers

A happy traveller through life! Right now living in NW Tasmania with a gorgeous Nurse-Husband, a fool of a Siamese Cat and several chickens. We love our fairly simple lifestyle of growing a lot of what we eat and enjoying the stunning surrounds of our little patch.

  1. I would love to get a calendar also. Mavis from Onehundreddollarsamonth site started me on your blog and I love all your photos and stories. Can’t wait ?

  2. Don’t feed the chickens fish! When we were in Scotland we couldn’t eat the chickens because they tasted like fish. Turns out they use fishy foods to feed their chickens! It would be awful having your eggs taste like fish…

    Good luck with the tomatoes!
