  • Hi, at least you are planning things well, the way you 2 work you will whizz through you list a lot faster than others.
    Wayne put the computer and my plasma TV in my bedroom so once I tidy the sleepout ajoining my room I will be very self sufficient.
    We had a great amount of tomatoes and eggplants from our garden, plus onions, squash, basil, dill, potatoes, beans and spinach. Soon I will dig up the horseradish to make that up.
    It wont be long and we need to get the garden ready for our winter crops. But we have fun, swapping our vegies with other, we get pickled crab, fish, pickled onions, pumpkin and Jo is getting some natural home made cleansing cream. So its worth swopping.
    Must go all is well, Thomas is just beautiful. Mia is so close to walking. Bye Mum

Driveway!

Sorry I haven’t blogged in ages guys. I was waiting until I fixed my puter, but it looks like its going to be a more expensive fix that anticipated, so I’m installing things i need on this puter…

We have started on the driveway! Amila has helped us lay two slabs so far, just 10 more to go….

And yesterday I installed a tread and riser for the foot path to the front door. Naturally I had to make a simple thing complicated by cutting a spot to fit a uni-pit…
