• Walking dogs. Well, the Other Harf has walked dogs (Pippa and my sister’s new and very silly puppy, Ruby, who we are dogsitting for the next five days) and I walked a dog, Max. The Other Harf draw the short straw on that one…
• Planting seeds – radishes and broccoli and lavender seedlings, four different kinds
• Feeding all my veges and my roses with plant food, go plants go!
• Annihilating a MASSIVE patch of leggy impatiens and dried up watsonia. Oi. Sore. Back.
• Reading magazines – Digital Camera and Maire Claire. I added up how much I have spent on magazines in the past year and thought hey, I could buy a small three door 1990′s hatchback for that. If I so wanted. But I don’t. I’d rather have the magazines.
• Listening to Miss 9.3 talking to herself in the new pool (the Beige Barn contingent left to go camping this morning – they’d usually be adding their 1000 decibels to the noise level)
• Wondering when the Water Man will deliver the 14,000 litres to actually fill up the pool; the kids have been playing in the 2000 odd litres we filled from the bore but seeing as it hasn’t rained properly for weeks, we had to stop with that plan as we’ll need to conserve all the water we can for what’s looking like a very dry, hot summer.
• Thinking of the list I need to write for the Other Harf as I’m off back to work tomorrow for two days and we have a houseful of guests on New Years Eve so beds, booze and food need to be organised
• Pondering on what 2010 will bring, and how this time, I really want to fulfill my New Years resolution of losing weight. A lot of weight. Enough of the bingo wings and jelly-belly. Oh, and to get my photographs out there more, much much more.
