garden plans
. Back before we actually owned our Farm we started to plan our
who gives a crap?
. Who gives a crap?
ban the bag
. One of the things that I have been becoming increasing aware of, is the ridiculous amount of
back to town
. Today is the day that I go back to the house in town for a few days. It’s always definitely on the list of my least favourite
good evening
. It’s around 5pm and it won’t be long until sunset. The cool evening
multipurpose meals
. I love it when I can make a meal stretch out to feed us a few times. Not only does it help save food in the end, but
pottering & potting
. This morning, while I’m having some up-and-about time, I’m doing some seed-planting, ready to get some autumn/winter crops into the big vegie gardens. Will hopefully have a decent strike rate, although I can’t quite remember how old these seeds are, and they haven’t been kept in the most favourable of conditions since they found […]
a mediocre life
. What if I all I want is a small, slow, simple life? What if I am most happy in the space of in between? Where calm lives. What if I am mediocre and choose to be at peace with that? The world is such a noisy place. Loud, haranguing voices lecturing me to hustle, […]
back to bed
. As you know, I’ve been having issues with hip/back/leg pain for a while, and whilst for a short period in feb/early march – it seemed to be finally getting a bit better after repeated Dr & Physio visits, it got dramatically worse last week – so it was back to the Physio and the […]
owie update
. o0o Its time for an owie update folks! I’ve been going to the Physio, and doing my exercizes for a few weeks now – and as promised it’s time for an update. I’ve been managing to get around much better – and have been getting up to five hours straight of sleep, which for […]
remember…
. o0o Isn’t it odd how we get suckered into what ‘Society’ deems is important…? I’m so glad that I am re-finding the person I used to be, and the person I want to be – ‘cos ya know what…?? I actually really quite like that person!! :))
clutter
In case I haven’t mentioned it before – I am a big fan of de-cluttering. Clutter makes me restless – even when I don’t consciously realize it – and its amazing how quickly I settle, and can make more sense of my Life, home and mind, when there isn’t a whole pile of clutter around. […]
sunday morn
Sunday morning is usually a bit of a special day in our home, because it’s the one day of the week that my Love and I get to have breakfast together. Alas, today my Love has had to go to the next town, as the boss has agreed to help pick up something we bought […]
home time
. o0o Having been away from the Farm for a few days, it’s almost an ~obligation~ to go for a wander once I get Home, just to see
pain in the…
I’ve been off work most of this week, having only managed one day, before my back and hip decided that they were going to cause me a living merry hell and make sitting at a desk – or doing much of anything useful really – an extremely painful process. So midway through the afternoon on […]
op shoppin’
One of the things that I’m getting back into the swing of doing, is going to ‘op shops’. For the uninitiated – these are shops where you can buy pre-loved goods. These can be anything from building materials, to clothing, to kitchen ware, to electronics, to furniture – pretty much anything you can think of […]
dehydrating virgin
Today I had my very first go at dehydrating – pretty exciting stuff I tell ya!! Ok, so it might not be what gets your average Joe or Jill excited, but I can think of endless possibilities with being able to successfully dehydrate stuff. One of those is not running out of stuff so often […]
those that inspire
A month or so ago, a girlfriend and I had a coffee-date at one of the lovely local cafes. We work together, but don’t socialise much at work, because we both just tend to get busy, plus we work in different parts of the office – so when either of us has a break, we […]
a shitty mood
I usually really like Mondays. They generally start – once my Love has gone to work – with some quiet contemplation. No tv, no radio, no music – just the quiet of the morning, with the different birds all chatting away at full volume; like a mass of old folk outside a newsagent, talking about […]
wants & needs
As I’ve said before – I’m at the point in my Life now where there’s some things that have taken on more importance than others…one of those things is my OWN happiness. I’ve worked at my current job for almost 9 years now, and have worked my way up about as far as I am […]
