Boxing Day

Well christmas day is over for another year. It all went well here. Everyone felt full and happy. The kids all had a ball and it was a pretty relaxed kind of day.
Now today we have christmas with my family at my parents house.
I was very good and only had two glasses of sparkling wine, as my brother in law and his partner announced that they were engaged.
What a great chrismas surprise.
Congratulations to them.

This week I gained 200grams
not really stressing as it is the season to have a few bubblys, and I did enjoy two glasses on Sunday.
I have realised that when I drink alcahol my body stops burning fat.
But I will restrain myself I promise.

Feeling Hot,Hot,Hot!

The temp today is about 39 dregrees (102 farenheit) So a good day to bale hay.
Buffy is just enjoying the shade. She is a rescued cat that was very neglected and has become the most loyal and loving pet anyone could every ask for.
She will only allow members of our family to pick her up and she is not fond of little boys.
I think they caused her grief before we got her.


This is mushroom She has just enjoyed a nice long drink and is wondering what I am doing with that funny shiny thing in her face.

Stay cool everyone.

Its all about Purple

This is my first eggplant for the year. Last year I grew some but not this big.

And even though it looks blue its really a purple vest I knitted. I cant read patterns so I made it up as I went along. Turned out ok. I am wearing it now and it fits nicely.

For all the Vic students waiting for there VCE results today goodluck, and remember there is more than one way to get into the course you want, so dont stress.

Lazy sunday morning

I have had a bit of a sleep in this morning and now I am sitting in bed playing on the laptop. Reading blogs and playing on facebook.
It rained overnight and the air comming in the open window is crisp and fresh.
The rooster is crowing and a hen is clucking telling me my breakfast egg is ready.
The sheep and cattle were moved into another paddock yesterday and they are very quiet telling me they are happily munching on the fresh grass.
Today we will be working in the vegetable garden weeding and in the hot house.
Hubby is making noise in the kitchen so I suppose I have to get up now.
Have a great sunday everyone

A close call

Thursday night I had what was promising to be the mother of all migraines. So I took immediate action and got some drugs into me and was asleep by 8.30. Next morning I stayed in be until the morning shows had finished, about 9.00. I then took it slow all day.
I stayed away from the office and just potted around at home. I cooked 7 meals for myself which I froze for when we are eating stuff for dinner I cant have, like pasta. I also folded laundry and did more laundry and knitted.
I again took some drugs last night and I was asleep by 9.30. This seems to have worked as I am awake now and the threatening headache has not materialise.
So now I am blogging and playing on my new addiction, face book. I love playing the games on facebook. So if you have a few spare minutes, get on facebook and play some of the games. I dare you, you will be hooked.

Well the slow progress continues. I only lost another 100grams.
But hey, a loss is a loss and its better than 100 up, right.
Just trying to keep myself positive.
Christmas is progressing here, I have the menu all set for the big luncheon, and We are steadily cleaning up the back entertainment area. But it is raining today and so the weeds will continue to grow at an alarming rate.
How are your preps going?
Have you finished your chrissy shopping?
I only have one small thing to get to add to one persons gift, I made the first part myself.
Then I think I'm done.

Just a quickie

Not much happening here at the moment. We have been busy in the workshop and lots getting done at home, but its not been anything to blog about.
We went fishing yesterday and dear old hubby caught a gummy shark, so lots of flake for the family.
Its been very muggy here and we have had a bit of rain. Enough to keep the gardens going without any help from me. The hothouse needed water, and I gave it a good drink this morning.
The plants in there have gone nuts. The tomatoes are full of fruit, and the capsicums are doing really well. I will be able to harvest some for tea tonight. The tomatoes are only a week or two from ripening.
Its hot at the moment, but the weather people have forcast a cool change with rain.
Just right for sleep.
