Swabbed

(Jeff cleared the corn patch! Yay)

Well hello!
Gosh – fun filled afternoon for me!
I had been speaking to Public Health re my concerns about a mild cough I have had. Seriously – its pathetic.
I am pretty much thinking that its just the usual thing from the change in the weather to the much colder nights as my throat gets a little raw.
BUT – being that we’ve got 5000 in quarantine in the area so the hospital’s staff can go back as clear as possible I was concerned at the outside chance that I could be infected.
They got me an appointment so fast!! I wasn’t mentally prepared to go have something shoved up each nostril today. (And down throat)(Not in that order)
Gosh – doesn’t THAT make ones eyes water!!!

Hopefully I’ll get called in a couple of days so we know and hopefully get the all clear. I’d have just sat tight at home if it wasn’t for Jeff being at the hospital.
Fingers crossed!!

The wild duck yard patch!
Reckon this lot of potatoes needs digging before the weeds just take over the world!!

Quite a few butternut pumpkins hiding under the weeds in this garden too!! I pretty much just gave up in here haha

The only thing the hugelkultur garden got right was being covered in nasturtiums!!

Still got heaps of macrocarpa – just starting to get into this wood pile now that the weather has turned!

Support Chook takes a little nap next to me while I fuss about under the broccoli netting

6 weeks since I threw these in and said ‘good luck’
They’ve been chewed a bit by slugs/snails but going ok considering!

Left a box out for Sharons husband to collect today.
I got goats milk and farm fresh butter and some quinces!! mmmm

Anyway – I am heading back to the lounge room to sit in front of the fire with my crochet and continue my way through Stargate Atlantis πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€
Cheers!

  1. Lisa, sorry to hear you have a cough and had to go for testing. I guess it is better to be safe! Take care and get lots of rest. xxoo

    1. Rest?? Does digging potatoes count as restful?? haha. I am negative so all good! Pretty sure cough is just the cold weather and me getting used to it again! xxx

    1. I’ve really wanted to try to make quince paste! I’ve looked up how – now to get into the kitchen and give it a go!! πŸ™‚
