Winter Continues…

(Cat tongues sticking out amuse me!)
Hiya!
How was everyones weekend?
I’ve been working on ‘stuff’ as a new photo challenge has started. I’ll share photos soon (2 months prep time and I have precisely two photos ready. Hmmm)

In the interests in saving $$, plastic and keeping Jeff happy, I made a double batch of choc chip bikkies!
They’ve been pretty good!!
Didn’t come even close to fitting into my Nanna’s old Bikkie Tin!

We valiantly ate our way through them so the lid fit on.

Bit of soap here and there.. the above is lemon myrtle. It smells lovely!
I forgot to get a few snaps of the cut version. The yellow bits are like flames!

A double batch of Japanese Honeysuckle – top half with a scrub.

Getting in early on prepping Christmas soaps and trying something a little different with my tree

Love how these turned out… snowy grey scene! I mixed an apple fragrance with peppermint and really like it.
Will attempt a few more batches of this.

I even got out into the back garden for a bit of a tidy up!

Its great to have the straw to immediately mulch once I’ve weeded areas

I left the strawberry patches alone… they’ll need digging up and topping up with soil before replanting. That can be another day

Yikes.
There is a herb spiral in there…

I also did a big pruning out the front of the house and had grand plans of burning the bonfire to the ground.

That was a rather large waste of my afternoon. Failed utterly to get it to keep burning.
I think I would have had to douse it in fuel as it was too wet and green.
And as we know, petrol etc is hideously expensive world wide so just going to have to let it be and dry out a lot more.

Back to the inside fire which I don’t usually have that much trouble with!!
Lovely and cosy in here as the rain is pouring down steadily!

Cheers!
