  • Morning all,

    I've enjoyed catching up with everyone, extremely jealous of Chelsea opportunities, we do have a big Spring plant sale coming up soon though, it'll have to do. 🙂

    At last we have some sunshine too here, been very overcast and chilly for days. 

    Paperwork in the main for me today, accountant is hassling me with deadlines, I wish I could afford a full time secretary, I'm so much happier in the kitchen. 😅

    Must dash, I'm desperately searching for dill and the GC gas just opened its doors, fingers crossed. 

    Have a good day all.

    Hi all

    Dull day, after a sharp frost. Been for morning Deer inspection and turned off the white noise.
    Off to spend some garden vouchers, which is always a pleasant way to spend a little time.

    We don't watch the new on tv at the moment @Pat E ... we listen to it on the Radio in the morning ... that's bad enough ... we don't need pictures to know about the horror ... our imaginations are horror enough.   

    It really is a beautiful morning here ... the robins are very busy flying back and forth to their nest ... although at the moment I think it's mainly the male ... a lot of the time the female is still on the nest so I'm not sure if he's taking food to her or if the eggs have hatched but she's still brooding the nestlings some of the time.  We don't go very close as we don't want to disturb them.

    Sound lovely Dove.  We love watching wildlife here. Haven’t checked the bat boxes since Hubby bought a new pair of boxes for them and set them up to tempt them.  He said he could see one back in the original alarm box. 👏👏

    Back to sleep after my slug patrol in the early hours! Gorgeous morning here, sunny and clear, if a little chilly round the edges. Breakfast at the Donkey Sanctuary yet again, to be followed by a walk round the trails. Lots of trees in flower now, some quite delightful blossom, and views across to the sea. Perfect for clearing the mind of worries, they can all wait until we get home! 
    The living room ceiling is being plastered on Friday, so we started emptying the room yesterday. At least two thirds done, so OH can start running channels for aerial cables etc. I have made a start on a new flower bed by the kitchen window, so I can hopefully get a bit more done today. Having to pace myself carefully, one shoulder blade is giving terrible twinges, so just a little heavy work at a time.
    Hope all have a good day.
    Heartily agree on no tv news, can’t do the radio either. I just skim through the headlines on line, to try and reduce the likelihood of lying awake half the night despairing of the human race.

    No, Chicky you’re not misremembering. We are 25 km from Cooma.🙄😁

    Morning all. Lovely and sunny here at the moment - but cold.  
    I've got 3 meetings today.  Someone coming round in about an hour, another Jubilee committee meeting this afternoon and this evening - the one I'm looking forward to - a presentation from a local acclaimed artist on a new project to create a life-sized cast bronze image of the famous Black Dog of Bungay!
    At first I thought I had an exclusive invitation, but that has now gone up on a wall in town and someone else posted it on FB yesterday, so I'm expecting the place to be packed.

    @Pat E It’s just appeared on a news article here described as “One of the coldest, windiest small towns in Australia” ……I knew the name was familiar, but didn’t recognise the cold/windy tag 🥵

    Its better than being hot Chicky. 🙄. I still can’t believe that I lived in Darwin for 13 years. I couldn’t do it now.
