Hello!!
Sorry to be so neglectful of you all!
I am still kicking about but didn’t have a lot to say š
The weather has been brilliantly feral – so the camera hasn’t been out much, nor have we really done anything super blog-worthy!
I am just decorating this post with some random photos from 2015.
I have actually been working quite intensely on a project that I finally sorted out today.
But I can’t tell you what it was yet! Its hopefully going to be all finished in a week or two, then I can share.
Jeff decided today he needed a new tattoo (as one does)
Its quite big and it took ages – that is he was gone for three hours longer than I supposed!
Someone is a sore boy right now!!
I have been amusing myself also by making my first couple of solo soap batches.
Perhaps tomorrow I might get a snap of the ones I did.
Sharon brought me around some goats milk and I have enough to do one more batch before I need to go get some more. I also need to buy some pure virgin olive oil too – the one I have is part virgin and part refined. Honestly.. I have no idea what that all means but it will be good to see if there is a difference.
I also would like to buy some coffee beans because I am dying to try out the espresso fragrance. I wanted to add some crushed beans as an exfoliate (??) and pop a bean in the top of the soap just for fun.
Jeff made a bit of a start on cutting up the tree – just waiting for a decent day to get out and really get our teeth into it.
The ground is super muddy and slippery underfoot – especially in the areas we walk to more often – like to the chook coop.
I am going to collect a lot of the needles from the tree to lay down on those areas. It worked in one spot – time to sort that out before someone falls in the mud!
So did anything gross happen to anyone today?
I put Pip out on his lead for a little while when the sun came out. He was super interested in sniffing one of the crocs (garden shoes) that was out on the back veranda.
I thought maybe a stray cat sprayed??
So – clever me picked it up… (this story doesn’t have a happy ending)
yah… some rotten cat dexterously FILLED the shoe with wee. And I tipped it on myself.
Sometimes country life is just not glamorous!!!
Anyway – you can all stop laughing now.
Fingers crossed tomorrow we get to buy that timber and make a start on the raised beds so I can make the back area look less like a rubbish tip zone!
Hope you all had a super weekend and a great start to this week!
Cheers!
