A timely reminder

Dont drink and fly!
Happy Beltain to all

Why is it?

Why is it that unless I say something or remind people that
No matter how full the bin under the sink is no one thinks to empty it.
Then on bin night the bins dont get taken out, or the next day brought back in.
No one emptys the kitty litter (apparantly only I can smell it).
No one remembers to lock up the chooks at night. Only had them 5 years these things take time!.
Even if the dishwasher is empty plates get left in the sink.
Cloths that are folded in neat piles get left on the billiard table.
When reminded to put away, away means left on the bedroom floor.
That when I do remind, ask, demand or have a hissy fit, I am a nag.
Why is it?

Just another day

So far today I have feed the animals, let the chooks and geese out, cleaned the kitchen and done a load of washing. Opened all the curtains and tidied up the living areas. Checked my emails and read the various blogs I visit everyday.
People often ask me what I do as I " dont work".
Boy I wish I had the laid back life they think I have.
Now Im off to the gym, Do a very short shop, get home water the vegies and the fruit trees, organise lunch and clean up after the boys have it, and try to decide what to have for dinner.
At least baby girl doesnt have dancing tonight.
Then I'll collect the eggs and lock up the animals for bed.
I think I'll hit the sack then too.

A not so nice surprise

Today I was going to take a photo of my first ripe strawberry to post. I approached the garden ready to snap and then eat the said strawberry when low and behold it was gone.
Some dirty lowdown bird had got to it first.
So today I will be going to the op shop and get my self some window netting and I will cover the whole lot so I can get the second strawberry of the season.

A Nice Surprise

Last night while doing the nightly ritual of bedding down the animals and locking up the chooks and geese, I noticed that the little grey bantam hen was missing. I whent into the rose garden to try to find her, dreading the worst. But I found her safe and sound in the middle of a dense bush sitting on a clutch of eggs. I hope they hatch, wont that be exciting. First the geese, and now the chooks. We still cant get near the geese to sex them but hopefully we will know soon. If I cant sex them I may see if I can swap them with the guy who sold them to us. My four for two girls. That may be a better option. That way they can breed lots and then I can sell the babies or eat them.

The empty nest

Well I dropped babygirl off at my sisters, and the boys are still away so it was very quiet here last night. It was also very hot and I had to resort to the airconditioner to drop the temp down to 20 so I could get to sleep. It didnt work. I was up listening for the txt message to tell me that baby girl was on her way back to her aunts, safe and sound. By the time this came, early really around 12.00, I was in the middle of watching a really bad vampire movie. It was about a virus that affected nearly the whole planet that turned people into vampires. It was pretty bad but I had to keep watching. So it was about 1.30 when I finally turned out the lights and got some sleep. Way past my bedtime.
Anyway have to pick up the daughter and the boys will be home today sometime and I bet 10 minutes after they all get here I will be wishing I was on my own again, nice and quiet.
