Would you believe that I spent 2 hours typing a Ramble yesterday as couldn't do anything else with an electrician here, only to wipe it out trying to get a photo to transfer from my phone. I bought a new smaller computer a few months ago not realising that having an SSD card instead of a hard drive would make so much difference to how I work. I could only load Microsoft Office and also my documents onto the new one so it has become my "Business Machine" so to speak but if I want to add a photo I have to do it on my old machine. Anyway I am taking them both in for repair and training for me on how to use the Cloud assuming that is part of having an SSD card means. Either way I will only have access to Facebook until repairs are done to the old machine with all my photos and also Family History as well.
I am still very busy in the Soap Shed building up my stock before the next Festival and Fairs Season as it is not long to go. Isn't this year going quickly I can't believe it is nearly the end of February already. Stop the world I want to get off. I haven't done half the stuff I wanted to do during the break I supposedly take but still plan on getting my Website and Facebook in synch with my Catalogue. Started to look at it but we have had weeks of mid 40's temperature and I jus wilt like a lily in that sort of heat and humidity so not a lot done as yet.
I have a done a couple of existing products in new packs. They are called Malibu tubes and are squeezy. There is a body lotion that is unscented but can be scented if you would like it that way and also a Lavender Camel Milk Hand Crème. The tubes are a handy size for carrying in your handbag so you can use each time you have to wash your hands when you're out and about.
Sorry didn't get this finished the other day as came down with a kidney infection and was laid low for a day and a half. Back upto being upright so can sit here and type until I get it finished I hope.
I dropped my computer of to get repaired this morning and am using the smaller one now so quick to type on it as the keys are so soft. Am hoping that the older bigger one can be fixed as want all my photos back. I do have a back up if things can't be fixed on it but can't use the backup on this machine as with the card in it there is not near enough room. Any way will wait and see what happens. No good counting chickens and what ifs beforehand is it.
Hasn't the rain been great and hoping you have all had some of it. My garden is loving it and I do to except for the weeds and the mowing every few days. I am loving it as the temperatures have been down in the mid thirties and it is much more pleasant to try doing anything. My native be hive didn't like the stinky hot days either even though they are in the garden in the shade of the tee trees but they survived with a bit of help from soaking wet towels in water and laying them across the roof of their hive.
The vegetable garden was going great guns up until the hot days started so I had to put the shade cloth over it and keep the water going. Tanks were almost dry when we got the rain so it was very welcome although we are on town water and no restrictions I just couldn't use town water for my garden not knowing how much longer we would be in drought not that we are out of it yet by a long shot. Although I must admit having nice green grass and green hills is so much easier on the eyes than the dry dusty brown I can tell you.
My sweet potatoes are loving the shade cloth and the rain as they are like triffids with tangles poking up everywhere. The dahlias are just budding up and the Pomegranates are close to ripening. this year is the first time I have been able to pick a crop off my native lime tree and I have picked with scratches and stripes on my arms as they are prickly trees but yes I have picked over 70 little limes where as before it has been maybe 10 or so. Have spent a lot of time in the garden mostly before sunup when it is cooler just weeding and feeding etc. to keep it all under control. Lat evenings are when I water or mow the grass. It is never ending but worth it as my shrubs and bushes are starting to flower now.
Mac has finally decided he likes going to playgroup on Mondays as he trots off with the handler without a backward glance now and he knows when we are going there too. He gets really excited when we get to the traffic lights where we cross the highway to go down to the doggy place and can't wait to get out of the car to pee on his favourite rock before dragging me into the office. He even hops into the water dish all by himself instead of Lisa having to lift him in. Maybe he will start getting in for his bath soon so that I don't have to lift him up. Shame they don't have a doggy door he has to go through as lately he waits for me to open the door for him to come inside.
Well that is all I can ramble about as not a lot happening in this household
so take care everybody and be kind to each other.
