Some of Murphy's handy work, he knocked over the chicken wire fence to squish my poor broccolli seedlings, I hope they bounce back.
My younger sister, aka. Miss perky pants, was going to Nepal at the end of the year, but due to some issues, it has been put on hold. Instead, she is going to hike Mount Kosiosko for four days and the the blue mountains for another four, with a stopover at our older sisters in Sydney, we shall call Sydney Sis The sane one, I think she's the most normal of the three of us. (The three of us from my mum, I actually have four sisters.) The best bit of the trip? She's taking me! Yay! Walking is kind of difficult for me and requires a walking stick if it's for any length of time, I won't be hiking, so while she's out climbing mountains, I'll be enjoying complete and utter solitude. A much needed and rare thing in my world, I am almost never alone, oh to write or read uninterrupted, to use the toilet without hearing "Mum?" (how do they always know?). November can't come quickly enough! The added bonus is Miss perky pants is hilariously witty, I am sure we are going to have an amazingly carefree and memorable time, with lots of bonding and laughter. Not to forget mentioning how wonderful it will be to see my nephews, nieces, and brother in law, at The sanes ones home. I miss out on so much living in a different state. My new mantra, November is coming, November is coming, November is coming... Now all I have to do is hang on to some frayed strand of sanity until the trip.
The garden beds this week -
Slowly there's a little more green coming through, we are down to our last celery, and when will these tomatoes die? Theyve started flowering again, it's winter? I've also got some seedlings growing, there is kale, broadbeans, peas, brussel sprouts, and a lettuce mix. Murphy is still enjoying the home cooking, though with me unwell, we did cheat a few times, and this week I am buying a worm farm or two for fertiliser, and further waste reduction.
If I don't post again by Thursday, have a wonderful Winter solstice, for those in the Northern part of our little globe, Summer solstice.
November is coming, November is coming, November is coming...
