How do you eat an Elephant?
According to the old saying its one bite at a time. I’m trying to embrace that journey of a thousand miles begins with a single elephant sandwich mentality for the farm. I have got some of the first bites out of the way, scrap guy slowly doing his thing, and the goat guy dropping of…

Long Weekend…
Pretty sure Friday was six weeks ago, I’ve certainly chewed through slightly more valium than usual. It really should be against some medical oath to tell a patient to make an appointment to “discuss” test results, and then bugger off for a week. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned my close personal relationship with catastrophizing to…

Just for the Record…
I was looking for a particular record to play this morning. 45 minutes later I wasn’t in the mood to listen to it. My record collection has become a collection, it serves no purpose other that taking up space. There is perhaps 200 records I play, of those maybe 50-80 I play regularly, and of…

Checking the Bathwater for Babies…
I’m pumping the breaks on selling the farm straight away. Six months is time to calm down and think, there is also every possibility that the paperwork is still months away. Which would pretty much be mid autumn, heading into winter, which is the exact opposite of when the farm looks the best. Also I…

All About Eve…
I’m having a slow day today. A bit of a house tidy up, and a good forensic scrub of the kitchen in preparation for Christmas meal preparation. It’s been a few years since I attempted a traditional Christmas, even pre pandemic I wasn’t great at it. So this year I’m taking a small run at…

Clean Room Chronicles Pt 3…
I’m starting to think I could have given the whole house an acceptable tidy up in the time its taken to do one room. Actually I’m sure. But I’ve woken up to wardrobe doors I’m not scared to open. I also slept better than i have in a while, possibly due to the reduction in…

Clean Room Chronicles Pt 2…
At 9am this morning my room was almost 95% done, as long as you didn’t look in the closets of course. Luckily I’m single and no but me ever opens my closets, so as long I keep the doors closed it’s fine. An hour later… Total carnage that in no way helps any visible parts…

Clean Room Chronicles Pt 1…
Maybe the reason I find hotel rooms so relaxing is because they are not full of stuff, unlike my room at the moment. So I’m going to take a weekend off to completely spring clean my room. Wash, vacuum, dust blah blah blah, all the small jobs that I’ve neglected lately. I know that I…

Stranger than Fiction…
Over the past two years I’ve decimated my library. This 90% reduction has come about by mostly getting rid of all fiction books, which made sense when I realized I rarely reread fiction. So I’ve gone from 1000s of books to 100s, and the hundreds are mostly reference books, because I revisit art,design, craft etc…
