bits & bobs

Post birthday day I am feeling good, I had a lot of bad feelings on my birthday, the kitchen was a huge mess which always makes me twitchy & there was a unbearable amount of waiting around that I had to do capped off wit the car I wanted being sold out from under me.
Yesterday I made a fence to keep my chickens out of my garden while still giving them a third of it to play in, his was in anticipation of my seedlings being ready to go in the ground in a weekish.

Today I saw the first of the seeds coming up at least 3 kinds & now 7 of the 24 eggplants & capsicums, I think I'm giving up on the melons & pumpkins I planted before the rain the pumpkins at least were eaten by chickens but I never saw the melons probably the cold so I'll start a tray of those tomorrow may do the pumpkins the same way & depending on how I feel about rejection & failure I may do a bunch of onions.

WHY CAN'T I GROW ONIONS? I have never had such plant failure as with onions of over 300 seeds I have sprouted 30 maybe & had no onions big enough to eat.

I'm contemplating getting driving lessons spread out over either 2 or 3 months 12 lessons 32 hours worth the first 6 as training & the second 6 as a prep course for the test with 60 hours fit into the 3 months total cost of $604 small price for independence.


I am also trying to reduce or remove the amount of wasted food I produce, it's part me but mostly vlad not being willing to eat the same thing over 2 days leading to me eating it or it being wasted, I'm thinking more pies & bits pasta.

I want to make more rice & pasta but have less carbs after 6.30.

I've been doing at least 2 laps of a 500 metre oval each day with tryst, it's improving his fitness too but I'd love to up it to 6-10 laps plus add 20-30 mins of yoga yay I'll be a fitness jock but hopfully one with more strength & flexibility & about 8 less kilos.
