A week of good

I class my week as starting on a Sunday.

I work on Sunday for about half the day.  I like it.  We can still have a relaxing morning and I can toddle off to work around late morning.  Tuesday is my last day of work for the week.

Love it.

We have been busy with some projects around the house, birthdays and general "stuff".  The weather over the past week and today was like a beautiful spring day.  It was very warm today indeed.

A couple of years ago, I rescued 5 battery hens from the chicken farm.  I got them for $10.  Sadly, all have passed away except one (the middle chook in the picture below).  My very good friend Courtney, who lives on a farm and has lots of chooks, was very kind to give me two more friends for Browny.  A white chook (Sussex X), who I will call Whitey and another brown hen who I will call Chooky.  So, we now have Browny, Whitey and Chooky.  Aren't I an original one eh.

 The gurls

Whitey was very proud of this effort I must say.  I ran out into the yard as I thought something was happening.  Suppose it was, she had laid this egg!

We had some storms a couple of months ago and a tree came down and crushed our beloved trampoline (and our fence too).  Thank you Grandma for buying the boys a new one for their birthday's.  What a lovely treat.

Look what a lovely friend gave me the other day.  A banana loaf.  It was delicious let me tell you.  Wrapped so beautifully too.  I am such a lucky lady to have such precious friends.

The temperature gauge on the white car had stopped working.  We couldn't get it to go up or down which was a bit of a nightmare in this weather (not to mention very cool as it was set low).

Apparently, the cost to fix this is around the $600 - $1000 USD mark - according to a guy on Youtube who did a video of him fixing it.

Greg watched the video a few times and Voila! the console was taken out, re soldered and it all works perfectly!!

Saving us around $1000

Yay Greg, you are a legend and I love you xxxx

Just had to have a BBQ for dinner tonight.  It was such a summers day in winter.  Haven't had a snag on the barbie for a while.  Yum these were delicious for dinner tonight.

My lovely plant is starting to flower.  Look at the buds on it.  Wow I am going to get a lot of flowers.  Its mate hasn't got buds yet, but they are not far away.  These two pots should give a good display.  Not bad for $1 plants, half dead from Bunnings and pots found in the cleanup on the side of the road.

Have you heard..........????  My most favourite ice cream is now being sold in a tub!!!

I have been looking for this for weeks and FINALLY found stock in the local IGA.  

A massive treat as the box is about $7.75 or so.  Mighty exy IMO.  

But this is a little special for me to have just this once.

Mmmmmmmm, it was delicious.  Tasted just like the ice cream on a stick.

 Lucky me.

It's our 6 year wedding anniversary today.  Time flies when you're having fun.  Greg is a good man and a great father.  We are a pretty good team.  Sure we have our moments but not many and we have weathered some challenges in our lives that would have sent many people running for the hills.  I think statistically, given that we have disabled children, twins and a teen - we have almost a 100% chance of breaking up LOL.  

I love you Greg and I want to say thank you for being there, especially last year when I was falling to pieces because of all the awful things that had happened to me.  You so supportive of me - you believed in me and it showed that you could be counted on when the going got REALLY tough.

Happy Anniversary
Love You
