It's been a month since my last..... blog





Contrary to what the cats and horses think - Quite a lot has happened...

  • It's stopped raining!! The paddocks have dried out.
  • We've sprayed the weeds in the orchard.
  • We harrowed the track paddock and sowed some more grass seed - it was a bit pogged from the hard life it had this winter.
  • I've been titillating my float as it's for sale... had someone come look today - they seem very keen.
  • George has had to mow the lawns twice so far this month.
  • He sprayed the cobwebs outside with 30 seconds - and it did nothing so don't waste your money on that stuff.
  • A baby bird fell out of (or was pushed) out of the nest in the washbay ceiling
  • The swallows have two nests on the house - one outside the single garage, and the other outside the bedroom. No babies yet.
  • The plover had three eggs - but something got two of them - a hawk I think.. or rat maybe, now they have one left and it's in the round pen and taking ages!!! Still sitting on it they are. I shouldn't care as they are squawky bloody things but it's sad when the hawk lands and they are 'screaming' - it's horrible.
  • I've booked to get concrete in the bottom of my hay shed and float park - yay.
  • New float should be ready any day.
This iceplant I got at Mitre 10 last year and planted it straight in the clay - amazing how well it's doing - but do you think I can now find anymore?


We babysat Carlos last weekend (or was it the one before) and had a big walk round Herne Bay, had some lunch and back home again (his home) while Shawn and Tracy went and played tennis... that was fun. I didn't take this - just thought it was cute though.

We have Dante 2 - he lives in our orchard.... he's a Birman... he runs away if you get too close...hopefully he'll chase our rabbits away too.


The citrus are going crazy!
