SUNDAY ... BIT OF THIS 'N' THAT

 Day of rest ... yesterday's market was our last of the year, now we can relax for an entire month!

How wonderful.

As soon as Christmas is over I will have to get busy and make more Kiwiana and Black 'n' White Braid Runners.  I've sold so many of them.  I only have ONE Kiwiana one left, and I think?  2 Black 'n' White ones.

Sometime this coming week I'm unpacking all the runners, pressing them and laying them all flat for the next month.  

Then I can do a full stock take as well.

ABOVE:  Meanwhile.  Lacy is having the time of her life... so happy and settled in her forever home.  Gardening.  We gave her a big bag of potting mix yesterday and she's gone nuts, repotting so many of her plants. 

It's so weird seeing her so domesticated!  And happy.  She's the happiest she's been in MANY YEARS.  

It is wonderful to see.

                          DAY 7 OF 15

Today, Stew and I need to do a small grocery shop.  Just stuff (Diet Coke!), to tide us over till Christmas.

I'll be doing another shop next weekend for 'Christmas Day' food.

Lists have been made.  We are sharing the load this year.

We also have some new vege plants to put in the garden, and two passionfruit vines.

Every time I've planted passionfruit vines, we've moved house before they had any fruit!

THAT better not happen here I tell ya.

I'm so very happy here.

ABOVE:  A little video of the 'Fire Rock' I bought yesterday.  It was Stew's idea to get one.

I had a look at what was on offer first, then went back to Stew and asked him to go and look at them, then come back and tell me which one he liked the most.

Meanwhile, I wrote on a piece of paper what one I liked, and when Stew came back he told me which one he liked.

And, he liked the same one as me.  I KNEW he would choose the same one.  😊😌

1.53 pm: Well I had a busy morning doing odd jobs, washing, tidying the sewing room, sorting out market stuff, and so on.

Stew is out in the garden planting the new veges, and putting up trellis for the passionfruit vines.  Plus a few other things, just pottering around really.

I was exhausted by 11 am, so lay down for an hour.  My back was killing me to be honest.

Just been doing too much.

I will be so happy to be a total SLOTH for the next couple of weeks!

I still have quite a bit to do in readiness for Christmas Day... but I've got a week right?  😀😉😊

ARE YOU READY?

ABOVE: One of the plants we bought yesterday was this MINI MUNCH CUCUMBER.  Never seen it before.

It just grows super small cucumbers, that you can pluck off and eat as is.  We just tried one. OMG so sweet and delicious.  I think Stew wants to go buy another plant now.  

7.23 pm:  We just went to the supermarket for a couple of things Stew didn't get at Pak'n'Save.

I decided to get a few of the Christmas foods that might sell out before next weekend.  Stuff that has longer Best Before times... so last for weeks, if not months.

Now I have that much less to get next weekend.

We are now just relaxing for the remainder of the evening.

Catch ya tomorrow.
