The next day.

Well was going to play hell with a stick this weekend, but i'm flat on my back with a bulging disc so that puts paid to all my plans! This will be ,by necessity, a very short post; I'm typing 1 fingered, right handed and laying down. lol - not the easiest thing to do!

I'd like to say I will use this time for deep thinking and musings........perhaps I will. At the moment I'm just tired, sore and bored out of my brain! :)

Thursday.

Had a wonderful few days away in Mudgee seeing where Jordan lives now. What a beautiful place! Quite cold in the morning - brrrrr - ; Jord must be becoming acclimatized though because it doesn't bother him too much and he's always been a cold frog. We're looking forward to going back again, its a very historic area as well as having some very fine vineyards. :)
                                     
Well the rain has stopped for a while. The ground is starting to dry out a little though there are places around that are still quite soggy underfoot. There's not much one can do outside when its pouring but we aim to take advantage of the sunny days we're having at the moment. I can hear a ride-on somewhere close by so someone else is getting to work as well.

I picked the first few sugar-peas a couple of days ago  - and ate them immediately lol. Is there anything better than picking something and eating it there and then? The first lot of potatoes are up and the rest of the veges are struggling on with wet feet. :) The gardens have been pretty water-logged but being raised beds they don't stay too soggy.We were flooded in for a day or two last week; Kim wasn't able to get to work. It went down fairly quickly but the roads are a mess with pot-holes everywhere.

                                      Bon's favourite place on cold days.
                         The rug in family room is a nice place to catch the sun.

I'm off to bring up some wood for the fire tonight. We're expecting a lot more rain next week so it will pay to get a fair bit up close to the house and under cover. A bit of grocery shopping at some stage, housework and a recipe for ciabatta bread (which I love!) that's been waiting to be tested. I'll give it a go to have with dinner tonight.

I'm really looking forward to the week-end. Kim and I are whipping out to the vineyards to pick up a special present; Jordan will be home; Scott and Rae will be dropping in as well. Sadly Mark will be at work through the day but gets home around 8pm so we'll see him at least. I'm going to do a bit of painting over the week-end too. Lol - no not walls; watercolour. I haven't picked up a brush since we moved here and I miss it so much - so this week-end I've given myself permission to do what I want - painting it is!!!!
