Changes, some vegies in the vegie garden and pottering around

Hello everyone

Our chickens enjoying the back yard

I decided to bite the bullet and go to Flower Power to buy some seedlings.  WOW they are very expensive at around $5-6 per punnet.  I decided I couldn't afford that but had a wander around and found the clearance rack and they had half price seedlings.  Yay!

The chook on the left was almost bald for 12 months - that is how long it took her to recover from the battery farm.  The other chook is moulting at the moment so is missing some feathers.

I bought - parsley, spinach, red onion and paid full price for a cos lettuce punnet.  I also got a half price punnet of begonias.

I planted them into the garden beds and they look great.  I think they will go really well with all that lovely compost that I put on there last week.

It has been beautiful winter weather here.  Lovely clear days, but freezing at night.  We have had the fire on every night because it is so cold.

I have started the first of some big changes in my life as well.

I started growing my hair, from short, when I was about 38yo, in anticipation of turning 40yo.  Anyway, I had about 4 years growth and my hair grows very fast.  Its length was a bit above my bottom, so quite long. I don't have nice long hair - I wish I did but it is wavy and frizzy and because I am getting a "ahem" bit older, I now dye it once a month to get rid of the greys, which made it even frizzier.  Also, and I know this may sound a bit strange, since I decided to grow the mop, we have experienced a few.......hmmmm, not sure of the word to use........... trying times???

Long hair!

So, I finally decided to do the big chop and go pixie hair style.  I LOVE it.  Seriously, it looks fantastic, has taken years off my face and I feel like a new me!  My hairdresser is brilliant and she knows my hair so well - what a great job she did.  I think we both felt great afterwards actually.  Perfect timing for me as I needed a bit of a confidence boost.

Not really into the selfie thing, but the new do!

I'm not really the most photogenic person and don't really know how to take a photo of myself properly, but you get the idea.

Love always

Rach
