chook food and cinos

Took a trip to town for more chook food and library books. The cook book section is a bit hit and miss but today we found a whole volume of pudding recipes by Phil Vickery. Lucky the hens are laying again! We managed to sneak in a 'cino as well.

funny old day

A funny up and down day. Got dressed up to go out and have a great day at the Antiques Fair, only to realise, when we got there, that it was yesterday. Ate ice-cream, came home, felt cold and sad. Caught up with neighbours in the afternoon, drank tea from fine china and admired Cheryl's splendid chooks, roses, recipe books and veges. In between we grew wings.

slowness

I am slow. Too little sleep (thanks to Medium ending with 'to be continued') and too much french toast. Still, we managed to make it to the 'tunnel' this morning and not even any piggybacking.
Some strangely coloured wool (dyed with acorns) is waiting to be spun, but not sure if my mind is steady enough for four hands and feet at the wheel. Plus the house is full of autumn flies. I don't feel inspired with flies in my ears. Maybe we'll plant snowpeas instead.

lying about

We were meant to have visitors today but mysteriously they never arrived.
We didn't mind - we were happy to talk less and instead rest and read the paper after our week of coughing and wasp stings to the head.
