Hello!
Sunday! I was leisurely having my coffee when I remembered that the market was on today, so had to hurry things along a bit.
I missed out on getting the wheat for the chooks so they are going to have to put up with store bought stuff 🙂
I did find a silicone cupcake mould that will be a fine addition to my soaping gear. (Bargain – one dollar!)
We got some honey and I ordered two raised beds of a custom size for the veggie patch. The fellow is so nice! I offered a deposit, but he said no. Will make them AND deliver!! This is the part of country living I love. People are so relaxed.
After the market Jeff and I did a lap around the river track. He does it to switch off. I come back with 50 more projects and ideas because my brain goes into overdrive!
Hmmmm – a sudden explosion of bugs in my worm farm.
I’ve been advised to cut back food and just give them cow poo and cardboard. haha
Finally got to egg washing. A task put off because over winter the eggs all seem muddy and poo encrusted. Nice.
The rest of the afternoon was spent in some domestics which included a much needed vacuum. Love the wood fire but… so messy!!
Anyway, things are a bit better now.
Snow peas! I don’t know why I haven’t tried growing them over winter in my hothouse before!! I wonder how they will fare?
So… the espresso coffee soap!
They look deliciously like chocolate fudge!!
The straight espresso fragrance was SO strong but it seems to have dropped out of the soap a lot. Now I think there is just a subtle coffee smell.
I’ve also crushed some beans and added as a scrub.
Will just have to wait a while before I can test it out in the shower.
And a bit better lighting for the other two…
Jeff cancelled Netflix as we’d watched most things he thought. Give it a break for a while. THEN saw season three of Stranger Things was out… so we are trying to binge our way through it before the service cuts out lol!
Has anyone else seen it? Its so quirky. Set in the 80’s. I love the kids. Sci-fi and suspense.
Okies… thats all from me!
Enjoy what’s left of your weekend!
Cheers!
In the first episode of Stranger Things one of the kids is wearing a Waupaca, WI. tshirt. That is the town I had lived in for the last 32 years. My daughter and I thought that was a hoot! I haven’t watched it yet, the new season. I can’t wait!
Wow!! Thats really cool!! (I’ll have to keep an eye out for that shirt next time we revisit the first one!) We are enjoying the third season even though we are having to rush it rather than savour it! Hope you enjoy it too!!!
Opps, I’m bad. It is in the 5th episode. I haven’t seen it for a while. Here is the article on it from my local paper. https://www.postcrescent.com/story/entertainment/2019/01/23/stranger-things-how-waupaca-shirt-made-it-to-netflix/2617323002/
Thanks for the extra info and link! I found it really interesting about the t-shirts and kids clothes in general! I didn’t think so much work would have to go into some 80’s style boys clothes! haha. Thats totally excellent!
