Blew a gale last night
And our little cocks have started to crow. Darn it. We had hoped to get one more corner of the big veggie bed weeded by these fiesty scratchers and clearers of all things green! Awesome job done but only half finished. Maybe we can tolerate it until after the Powderfinger concert. Five more sleeps...
Well, no car. Still no MudGuts. Eternally grateful to friends able to include the SmallBoy in their school run. While I know he ate his breakfast and put on a clean uniform, not sure if those teeth got a good scrub this morning. We are letting the chookie boys have same time on the loose, out of their enclosure and have worked out which is crowing. He looks like a good roast! This will be interesting, and so long as we kill it and eat it here, no issues. Speaking of issues - Oh my - tall lanky teen here and the car is finally home. Money spent on the car for a temporary tank sealant, petrol, other car bits. Husband went to supermarket, flicked through a motorbike mag, a pc mag - didn't buy them. Well done. He did buy some extra salad, veg, fruit items and was very restrained. Note to selves : chives in the garden can be used instead of spring onion to thin.
Gave MudGuts a dozen eggs for help, got 2 empty cartons in return (yeah!) and a promise to return tomorrow to help rearrange in the fast filling garage. We'll see if it happens...
A lot later
Well a big afternoon - the wagon is home, but not going anywhere. The little car has had the little leak temporarily patched and she goes. A heck of lot quieter than the wagon. I am more than happy for this to be the vehicle of choice - its quieter, smaller and best of all, automatic. Although it will mean more right side usage, this is the weaker side and it might build up the strength in the right leg. Always the best outcome.
Nearly forgot about menu planning. Usually it stems from the roast meal on Sunday, this week we had a Moroccan lamb shank casserole/slow cooker type dinner.
Tonight's dinner used up those few tablespoons that get left over or randomly stacked onto someones plate. Rather silly if it helps make a meal. It was fish patties, stretched the need to shop another day because everything was at hand. The snowpeas, avocado, tomatoes and herbs can go on pizza or into the picnic dinner for Powderfinger. So the week is planned like this:
- Sunday - Lamb Shanks
- Monday - Fish patties and salad - with two over for lunch Tuesday
- Tuesday - Lambs Fry on grainy toast
- Wednesday - Chicken curry and rice
- Thursday - Lamb shank sauce, cous cous and cauliflower pie
- Friday - Home made pizza
- Saturday - Powderfinger concert - picnic dinner
- Sunday - Roast chicken
I fancy a chicken pie or pasta sauce in the week following. *grins* Using the left over roast pieces, so I shall grab out a large chook. I might need to buy cheese for pizza or change pizza to something else and then no more shopping for groceries, until milk on Friday, is required. That's on about $30 since last Wednesday and the rest from the freezer, fridge or pantry. Oh, I will need potatoes again.
Rather zonked and tired so we might leave it there. Got therapy tomorrow and hopefully we can work on something to strengthen my back without a residual ache. Don't forget to see what we've been doing with our Misson - spread the word, we need the help out of a hole at the moment. Every 10c is going to be in for the debt reduction - heck we've been collecting and adding 5c found here and there.
Thus the ramblings begin...
Night - sleep well xx
