Well, Mum’s week in Tassie flew by pretty quick. She went back yesterday and I am already missing the evenings crochet fun in front of the fire with her! She caught up on the laundry and cooked up more soup and generally made sure I wasn’t overdoing anything!
Glad both Mum and Dad have planned to return later in the year so I can be much more fun! Can’t believe we didn’t even get to the beach!! Travesty!
Today has been a good day! More energy and feeling alive. I saw the doc, who went over everything, took more blood and gave me my first top up of B12 (via injection!)
It’s been a long (almost) 4 weeks!
The new chooks are getting braver bit by bit. They all sleep in the main coop together (mind you they are not roosting yet but all squash into one nesting box! haha) but are still very wary of the old girls!
I checked out my cabbages and am pleased with how they are looking, despite the lack of attention I have given them
The seaweed has kept down most of the weeds and the netting has thwarted the the cabbage moth! The bigger holes I suspect are the work of a few hungry snails, but overall they are pretty good.
Hopefully they will ‘heart up’ well.
And someone needs to tell my passionfruit that its winter.
Its slowly taking over the hothouse and I am tempted to just leave it because I would be thrilled if the whole thing flowered and fruited next season! Passionfruit overload is never a bad thing is it?
Its even wandering outside!
Well… I reckon tomorrow I should be able to finish up my day five Overland photos and finally get the next story shared!
Little by little huh?
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend planned!
Cheers!
The baby chicks are so cute! Did you hatch them at your home or buy some more? I don’t remember reading about it. Glad you are feeling better; nothing beats Mum for company and healing. Do you think you got rundown from your trek or did this come on out of the blue? Keep taking it easy and get all better soon 🙂
Hi Teri… I think they are cute too! This lot we got from a local girl who got a few buckets of our plums via a friend and she offered us 2 free chickens! So I bought another 4 so we could have the 6 up and coming! I think there was a post a few weeks back 🙂
Honestly I think there may have been a number of factors for my month of blah! The calcium is unrelated to the other stuff… and the other stuff was possibly a bug/parasite which in turn effects the B12…. but that doesn’t happen quickly so as I mentioned to Hazel, I could have had it for ages and been asymptomatic. And I have been so flat out with ‘life’ perhaps it all just came crashing down at once!! Happily feeling lots better the past few days! Fingers crossed!
Glad you’re feeling better. I was wondering if anybody had given you an idea of the cause as well. Carry on taking it easy!
Hi – not sure about the calcium. thats a puzzle. Re the rest perhaps a bug/parasite although B12 doesn’t disappear overnight…. I could have had it for some time and been asymptomatic. Hopefully the next round of blood tests might shed some light. I do feel a lot better these past couple of days and the appetite is returning. 🙂
