It has been quite awhile since I have sat and typed a Ramble so I apologize profusely for not having done so. However I have had a few health issues and was finding it hard to get everything done so some things had to be put to one side. I am feeling much better after lots of tests and a change in medication but now Ivan has begun the new year with a couple of visits to hospital and heaps of tests to see what is going on with him and his organs.
Because of both our health issues I have decided to sell my home here in QLD and move back to NSW into a smaller more manageable place where I don't have to do any gardening or ground work.
Actually the house is sold and I am in the process of packing everything up. My daughter came up from Sydney to help me have a garage sale and I have been madly selling excess stuff on Facebook trying to get the load down to a manageable size so that it will fit into my new place.
I am also stopping my attendance at any Fairs and Festivals and Wundanook Creations will become an online shop with a reduction in the number of products I make and carry as space will be limited.
Yes there will be postage costs but I am hoping sales and no price rises will keep that in check. Guess we can only try can't we. I am thinking I will have to suspend taking any orders for a few weeks until I get packed/moved/unpacked and organised in my new place. Gradually I am hoping to improve or even change the platform I am using to try to make it better but that will be in the future.
I am giving up my gardening just as I have things growing so well. I am picking lots of mini Roma Tomatoes and Egg Plants and my Dahlias looked so lovely this year. My neighbours and I had some lovely Pumpkins and Zucchinis and now I am enjoying heaps of mini Roma Tomatoes while the Grosse Lizzies are just starting to get fruit on. At least the new owners will have enjoy having fresh things straight from the garden as the Sweet Potatoes and Tumeric are just starting to die off and will be ready for harvesting when they move but then so will all the weeds.
Have finally found out what is wrong with Mac and it is not his stomach that is the problem. After having his tummy and legs shaved and lots of tests - xrays, ultra sounds and MRI scans he has not 1 but 2 protruding discs in his neck and the fits he has been taking are really pain spasms from the discs pressing on his spinal column. He is now on anti inflammatory and a nerve pain pill and has not had a turn for several months. The pills make him drowsy but he still barks madly at anything and everything that goes on. In fact he has had a ball over the last few days as people came in for the garage sale.
Well that is all the News I have for now so take care and remember be kind to each other.
Blessings
I
