DUMP RUN

 It is SO hard to get out of bed when it's freezing cold!

I hate it.

I put it off as long as I possibly can.

My mission is to get Stew up and moving so he can get over to Steve's and pick up all their rubbish, and take it to the dump.

We've got tree cuttings in our trailer, and Steve has similar stuff to dump as well.  

I'm going to stay in bed as long as humanly possible really.  Then I'll get up and go make those fish come alive on the cushion covers.

ABOVE:  Our winter veges are not doing much growing sadly.  

ABOVE:  Stew did a good job of water blasting the side path yesterday.  We had GRASS growing out of the roof guttering in places too!

Outrageous.   He got rid of that too.

ABOVE: This rhubarb plant did a massive droop when put in the pot... but it seems to have perked up a bit.  Maybe that pot isn't big enough?

We'll see how it goes.

ABOVE:  I had to move the plants from in front of the windows.  The big one in the blue pot was not happy in the full sun.  That plant is very temperamental.

Right, enough waffle... I'm gunna snuggle up in bed and see if I can catch a few more Zzzz's.

1.47 pm:  That's very interesting about the potting mix.  I bet we have shit potting mix!

Cheap and nasty from Mitre 10.  I will try adding some good mix or a fertiliser to ours soon.

Stew did the dump run, got stung like a bee with dump fees.  Warning, don't take sopping wet foliage to the dump, every drop of water is a dollar!  Literally.

While he was doing that, I worked on these:

ABOVE: I stared putting seaweed and bubbles on the left one... and decided to take a lunch break.

Now I don't feel like going back to it.

So, I'm watching YouTube/TV etc in the family room with Stew.

I think we will both just enjoy a quiet afternoon, keeping warm.

It's actually warmer OUTSIDE now than inside our house!

I've got me blankie and hot water bottles on, so I'm happy as Larry.

I will turn our heat pump on soon, to make the house warm for the evening.

Steve and Bex are here.  We were discussing our winter veges not growing.

His comment:

"Maybe they don't identify as winter vegetables, maybe they are bi-seasonal vegetables?"

I will leave that there.

Steve is in me kitchen, cooking our dinner. Neat eh?

ABOVE:  Bacon Carbonara from scratch!  Delicious.  Thanks so much Steve, so nice to have dinner cooked for us.

And on that note, I'm signing off for the day.

It's been a really nice day, helped by such a nice visit from the kids.
