Had a good day today I must be a super mum I made bacon & eggs for breakfast I'd forgotten how differently home laid fresh eggs behave
I did a major clean up before I had a visitor come round for a couple of hours to have a chat about Trystan during which he as always showed off his memory skills he's been talking about wanting to be a scientist on day so he can try to make tiny dinosaurs so we can see how they really lived though he would also like to be a pilot still with 4 kids who should also be pilots but if they won't he'll just fly them around.
It's still bloody raining here & I am up to 4 baskets of washing somehow interesting as we're none of us close to running out of clothes but it is wearing to have to plan every walk around the rain.
One of our caterpillars turned into a chrysalis today but it looks like the other one died trying & just turned oozy I can't wait to see what they turn into, the caterpillars we collected off a mandarin tree are flourishing too & the rain at least seems to keep the cabbage moths at bay.
11 of the 21 pumpkin seeds I planted are up but i keep erecting hight flower pot fences to keep the chickens out of it given how it's only been a week at most this is a very good sign to me.
We went out & bought 4 bales of slightly moldy barley straw today which were discounted which is great as I only need them for chicken bedding & the garden, I really enjoyed moving them as it gives me a slight feel for how they are to handle, relevant as I want to to build with them I was surprised a how light they felt a pair of gloves or a lifting tool & I could heft them all day though the look of tryst spilling help a biscuit as he moved it across the garden prompted the comment that we're starting to look like a little farm between our guinea pigs & chickens & corn in the front yard & straw spilling everywhere, I love it & can't wait to get my drivers licence & live on some land.
I've been doing even more looking into housing near mullumbimby which is no easy task as the area seems to have 5 post codes in half an hour which all seem to cross over and around, some of the rents are actually manageable too 320 for 3 bedroom places if I'm 20 minutes out I'd really like trystan to be able to go to the steiner school there as I just love their programs & think any lack of standard curriculum is more than fixable but the schooling in language, crafts & arts are well worth it.
I did some sewing & made a triple re-enforced messenger bag as I never have enough in the right size & I'm trying to save & so won't buy the awsome cool one I found on etsy.
I sill plan to start some tomatos & celery & spinach & more carrots I may have to invest in some seedling pots as we don't use enough toilet rolls to cover what I plant I wish I had a definant on our lease being renewed so I could plant more long term stuff I just don't trust anymore.
The food sopping list is growing & I don't know why too much putting off of important items I guess.
I had a mountain of forms to fill out for trysts new daycare, they want me to imunise him again & I don't know how I'll do it, oh & I can't find his stupid birth certificate again, why do my documents keep going walkabout.
Anyway, ferrets go meh &I'm too sleepy for this
