Spring time is busy time.

Sorting out the garden and keeping up with the mowing - just two things to keep us busy at this time of year. Planning ahead in the vegie garden has been a big learning curve. I think for some it will be either a feast or famine. At least I'll have a better idea next year.

It's such a pretty time of year. We've got a few grevillias about the place; lovely bright red and a gorgeous magenta one.

The dog fence is going up at the moment so Bonnie has her own little place to run about.


I'm looking at overhauling the blog. I started it as a personal record as well as a "drop-in" place for my os cousins and relatives to catch up with what we are up to. Whilst it's served its purpose in that respect I've been thinking about how I want to use it from here on. It will still be our record of our journey but I want to expand it. Recipes, how to's - all sorts of stuff.  Yes there is probably a plethora of blogs and info on anything you can think of but not from my perspective. lol. 

I'm looking forward to updating and expanding; I hope you'll hang around. Stay tuned. :)

Sunday.



Excuse me ..........who stole spring????? I have the fire going and it's pouring outside. Ah well, it's Sunday of a long week-end, and all is quiet here. Am about to watch a movie, what a great way to spend the day.
Kim and some friends had a spa party last night and it was 2 o'clock into bed so about the only energetic things I'll do today is retrieve the eggs, grab some potatoes and make stir-fry for dinner tonight. It was scream watching the girls in the spa; it was so cold and they had the spa so hot the steam was rising. They looked like those Japanese monkeys who sit in the hot springs - except these ones had a wine glass in hand. lol.

    

We're all going to lunch tomorrow in a little town not far from here; there's a nice little quirky restaurant there and all the family will be together. Nice!

The rain halts things a bit around the place but it doesn't matter; the sun will be back again soon enough.
