Good Morning Everyone,
Sorry I have been trying to get to do this as you can see by the title since last weekend. I have come to the conclusion that I am not as organised as I should be and this is a problem. Actually I was trying to get some work done in the garden while the weather was so nice but even that didn't work out as Mac had a home visit from the vet and then I decide to go do the grocery shopping another morning. Anyway I am onto getting better organised so hopefully things will improve.
How is everyone doing with the self isolation not going stir crazy yet? I am actually enjoying it as I only go out when necessary anyway which is normally to medical appointments or the super market apart from my 1 morning a week shift in the Co-op shop. I have been madly catching up on all the jobs I keep putting off and the house is starting to shine. Even the Soap Shed has had a scrub and a bit of a reshuffle. I haven't started on the actual garage outside yet but it is on the list. Ivan will never find things once I do as his method is to leave things where you use them as you might need them there again where as mine is a place for everything and everything in its place. It will happen just not sure when.
One thing I have managed to do online is put up Sale Items Folder and in there you will find everything I have reduced in price to get them sold. Quite a few would make ideal Mother's Day gifts so do check them out. There is free delivery for orders over $40 and I have organised which days and the areas I will deliver There is a post with this info on. I am still working on the Retail Price List and the Website making sure they are in synch. so please bear with me. Some things may disappear as I am trying to lessen the number of items I make so if something you usually have is not on there and you really want it I can make it on demand rather than having it sit on my shelves all the time. There is also a Soap Bargain Box where you get 5 soaps (my choice). These soaps are the ends of the logs or the under weight bars or maybe they have bad labels. I did make some shaving soap and put it in some lovely ramekins and also some products for an order so that is something accomplished in the soap shed.
My garden is coming along with the extra attention it has been getting. I go out to feed the wild birds around 6 am and usually spend an hour weeding or this week I have been loosening up all the top of the beds as I have bales of Sugar Cane Mulch being delivered today to be put out as soon as I fertilise and water. So that is my task for the next week. The dahlias are flowering so there are heaps of butterflies and bees that like them. We have had one pineapple and another 2 coming along. Nothing like them being left to ripen on the plant instead of picked early while they are green. They are so juicy and sweet. I have a tomato bush growing in the green house and it has nearly reached the top of the pointy roof. I have tied it up to the sprinkler system as a stake is just not high enough. It has lots of little bunches of fruit so I do hope they ripen soon or else the frost will kill the plant and I will miss out altogether.
Mac's Doggy Playgroup had school holidays off this year and he really missed going to see his playmates. He has come a long way and is now getting into the swing of things there as he actually chases the other dogs and even went up on the roof of the kennel all by himself. He will probably join in the games more as we had the vet visit this week for his follow up arthritis needle. I can notice the difference that the needle makes in his running around at home as he charges up the doggy steps on the lounge now where before the needle he would rock back and forwards several times so his knee would not catch,
Well that is enough of me rambling on so stay safe everyone and remember be kind to each other. Blessings
