Saturday

Relatively early morning, let mippies out ... coffee. Now I'm sitting here with Mini on my lap and Ziva demanding attention at the same time! Which is not normal - usually, when I have one on my lap, the others wait until I'm free. Which makes it an endless procession of cuddle demands ... 

It's been a really strange winter, so far. All my life I've struggled with cold feet, yet, this year? I'm overheating! I now put on my light summer shorts instead of warm long johns. The only trouble is, that it's freezing in the mornings - when I fish for my long johns and wriggle into them before I get out from under the warm duvet!

Mail that my pet food delivery missed me ... sigh.

Well, I've put the geyser on, time to get started ...

Just done my roly poly with Mewthos - only, he and Janey decided to fight a bit, instead.

Quarter to eleven and kitchen duty done. Nice and early today, for a change! Laundry is out, kitchen is clean, roast is in the oven! Now I still want to vacuum pack and freeze the stewing meat I bought Thursday ...

I seem to have made a mistake with the roast. It tastes so delicious, I've just polished half of it! It was supposed to keep for a few days ... 

I have the whole afternoon free to do anything I like ... and what I like, right now, is take a nap, ha ha!

It's really windy here today, as windy as PE! Only, a PE friend just posted, that there it's windy enough to blow the stripes off a Zebra! If PE folks complain about 'wind', trust me: they mean gale force!

It makes weeding somewhat unpleasant ... but I feel like weeding. Making progress!


Above is what it looks like now. Below was 2 weeks ago - 8th August.

Evident progress! Below the view from my veranda, which is improving ... less to do, more done!

I put that sprinkler on as often as I can, to keep softening the ground - and, to get the bush beans growing! They're not making much of an effort, I'm afraid.

Looking at that photo is like sitting on my veranda - just without any unpleasant wind. I'm quite enjoying the view ...

Mippies are in, treated, and I'm winding down for the night ...
