Swamp of Sadness…
I can’t see the forest for the trees, literally in the case of the farm. I attempted to take a look down by the creek today and it is more Mirkwood down there at the moment than the green pleasant banks I read books next to in my youth. If nothing else gets done this…

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…

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…

Before Winter…
I really wanted to have the back deck done for Christmas. I want that quintessential Australian boxing day vibe, sitting around listening to a sportsball game on the wireless, drinking cold beverages, while the youngsters play totem tennis and destroy the lawn with the slip n slide. But at the moment I’m mostly just looking…

Throw Me Down…
I don’t know if it’s the layers, the textures, or just the informal casual feeling, but I’m totally all about the throw rug. Comfort, cosy, calm… all the C words. All the years living in disorganized clutter (the bad C word) has given me a huge appreciation for the CALM part. There is also a…
