i've had a lovely day today. so far...
had a good sleep last night - wow that 14 hour day on wednesday really sucked it out of me..... i was ready to goto bed last night from about 6pm, but i pushed myself to stay up later cause i didn't want to be awake at 3am automatically lol
got a bit of gardening done today, pulled up some more celeriacs but they were mainly just roots and not much of the vegetable itself, so threw them into the compost...
i planted some leftover potatoes that i had in the pantry from what i grew the last time around, they had some shoots on them already, so threw them and the other little'ys out into the ground to see if they did anything since i wouldn't be able to eat them as they were.....
also planted some broadbeans from some of the pods i left to dry last year... threw them in a big patch in a bundle and will see what springs up.....
repotted the hydrangea's that i had bought after i got back from portugal, they needed something bigger to grow up in, so i used a couple of the flowering pots that were out the back in front of the veggie patch as they had plants that were pretty much dead in them.... the other couple got a good hair cut...
planted herbs from seed, parsley, basil and coriander, hopefully they all come up nicely cause i love to use them all....
there's a chook boob marinading at the moment for cooking up on the bbq for dinner... looking forward to that...
and then there's an orange poppy seed cake in the oven (packet mix, but it's still edible and still one of my favourite cakes hehehe)
the plumber came around and gave the diagnosis of my water pump, completely stuffed, cracked housing and everything..... so jarod, the hot plumber bear, came around and installed a new one whilst i was in the shower (had no idea they were coming back so quickly after kev had been to give his report....)
the chooks had a lovely day outside, spend a few hours just nestled under the trees in the paddock next door alongside the fence, in the sunshine, they were obviously loving the natural warmth after the frosty morning!
changed the bedsheets at long last - so tonight will be an even nicer night of sleep :-)
andrew is moving back to ballan tomorrow, he got himself a rental a few streets away from me, i'm very proud of how he is looking after himself so well.... i'll be able to deliver all his shelving and gardening bits and pieces to free up more space in the garage again.....
meanwhile i have to sort out whether the mower alex gave me is 2 or 4 stroke engine.... i tried looking up the model number online but not much luck yet... i'll give it a bit longer when the weather gets a bit warmer and the ground is dry enough for me to do a mow session.....
god i love these days when the air is still crisp and cold, but the sky is blue with no clouds to be seen and the sun is golden and yellow high up....... and the days are getting longer now too - it's just truly my favourite time of year.... reminds me of winter in canberra (the few times i've been there in winter), absolutely beautiful!
but poor april is suffering with her sciatic nerve problem... wish i was closer to help her out... i prayed for her last night... she doesn't deserve that sort of pain that is hindering so much of her normal everyday life and activities.... i hope she gets better otherwise i'm thinking about asking mum to go down and look after her for a few days until she gets the treatment she requires to feel better.......
all in all i think my reduction in meds is going well... i don't think i'm noticing too much of a difference.... i'm probably working too hard and too long hours to notice lol so long as it keeps going well enough that i can be off them by the end of this year, that's my goal :-)
damn that cake is smelling good...... 8 minutes to go then i can take it out, whip together the icing part and top it off... then there's a sweet treat for after dinners the next few nights :-)
as beautiful as the weather has been today, clear skies mean frosty cold nights, so maybe i should light a fire tonight..... been a little while since i've given it a run.....
keep smiling as much as i can when it's warranted........
