Good Morning Everyone,
I hope that all Mum's had a lovely Mother's Day yesterday.
I did although it was the same as any other one for me as my Children live to far away to have a get together but I do get phone calls so that is something,
We have been on a picnic as Covid rules are beginning to be relaxed. It was so lovely even though we didn't go far (50 klms) to start with but it was so nice to get out in the fresh air and away from the house, We went over to Wivenhoe Dam but there were so many people that we decide to come back towards home and sat at a table near the Brisbane river with nothing but a bit of traffic and the trees for company. Fresh air and Salad rolls never tasted so good.
Not much going on in the soap room as orders have dwindled to a trickle but I did manage to make a new batch of Foot Soak to go into stock as sold the last one. Love soaking my feet at least once a week and then I use the Cool Foot Balm every night to keep my skin soft and the massage I do as I am rubbing the balm on helps settle my feet down cools them off and helps me go to sleep. I get a lot of restless legs and nerve pain so have found over the years of trying every product I found that this works for me.
I am just finishing off checking the Product List this week Next I have to check it with the website and the Facebook Folders then that part is done. Probably have to do new photos for some as I have changed colours or need better ones but that I will do as I find them. Other than that I need to build up stock for a couple of soaps that I am nearly out of. I am naughty as I seem to be in go slow mode but it will get done by next week so that they are cured in time for any orders that may come in.
I finished the weeding in the garden a week or so ago and have everything mulched in the garden ready for winter. I just have to do some seasonal pruning now and the occasional weed tidy up and watering too as we are not getting any rain.
Only 7.5 mls in dribs and drabs last month and nothing yet this month. My Dahlias have finished flowering and I am waiting for them to die off before digging the bulbs again. I had 3 colours last year but this year the beautiful white ones did not flower maybe the weather maybe they crossed with one of the other colours so will wait and see what happens next year.
My native bee hive is doing well weighing box and all at just over 9kgs now which is a gain of over 3 kgs for the summer. Their weight will go down over winter as they sleep in until the hive gets upto 20 degrees before venturing out to look for pollen but they have worked hard over summer so deserve a rest I guess.
Mac is still going to playgroup once a week. He loves it and gets so excited when we get near the building. He comes home exhausted and goes straight to sleep after his dinner then lays around the next day resting as well. I have started taking for a walk again most mornings of the week to use up some of his energy and keep his weight under control. We stopped walking almost a year ago as 2 big Alsatians moved in across the road and they barked ferociously all day everyday. We could not go outside. Now there is only one and I carry one of those ultrasonic bark control things that seems to calm a lot of the barkers in the street. It doesn't stop them barking altogether as the range of the thing is not very far but it does tone most dogs down at least.
Well that has been my life over the last few weeks not a lot but enough to keep me busy and out of trouble.
Hope your days have been satisfying to you all so take care and remember be kind to each other.
Blessings
