an ordinary day

Good evening all,

Not a lot to report on today. It was wash day for me and this took longer than anticipated because the grandies came to visit and left two hours later. They love visiting Nan. These two are like whirl winds when they come here...they walk in, eat me out of house and home, make a huge mess as they drag every last toy out {and not only toys!}, then leave Nan exhausted lol! But I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Sweet bundles of energy...

and full of cheekiness.

I did get to hang some pots out.  We picked up hooks while in Adelaide, but we didn't get enough.  We only grabbed a few to check to see if they would fit over the rails under the shade. We will get more when we go back down there next week.

I also bought some of these for hanging pots under the shaded area and out in the veggie patch.

There was a special delivery for me today...

Soon I will have two greenhouses.

We decided to invest in these because of the harsh conditions we get here weather wise. They are made from aluminium and polycarbonate. Poly carb is strong {basically unbreakable} and is a great insulator so I think they will be quite successful. 

Now to wait for these to get erected...

  

 Easy tea tonight, leftover curry and rice made into delicious pies.

Followed by quandong crumble.

I fed some sourdough starter today, and at the moment it is being prepped to make into two loaves to be baked tomorrow. This is the only bread we eat nowadays.

I will leave you with a recent video from Mark @self sufficient me on youtube. This is titled Looming recession? How growing food can help. Mark's garden area is fantastic and he is one of my favourites to watch.  Enjoy!

A very cold day here today, with the wind blowing straight off the Antartic! The fire is on and the house is cosy.

See you soon,
