Free Bricks

Hello!
Not too much exciting to report from Norwich House today…  we did get back across town to a friends place to relieve him of a nice big pile of bricks! It took three trips (one had been done a couple of weeks ago) and today we went twice to finish the job. Poor little trailer was huffing and puffing.
Still – free is good and I reckon we will be able to make use of these in the part of the yard that we are (very slowly) landscaping.
It was a bit agonising though – driving past all the awesome beach and river swimming spots seeing people out everywhere enjoying a dip or a paddle – thinking why are we hauling bricks when today feels like summer??? 😀

So far ALL the sweet peas in my new garden area are a dark purple!!

So – who makes new year resolutions or goals?? I am pretty bad at it. By the time I think of something good its usually June and by then my momentum has gone.
I figured trying to fund myself to Texas and then both myself and Jeff to Japan this year all on $$ from my vegetable garden was challenge enough without adding more goals.
Then I read Mavis’s list from One Hundred Dollars a Month and I felt a bit slack (Actually truth be told I needed a little lie-down after reading her ambitions!!) hee hee
Anyway, so I thought I should rethink the whole 2017 goal list and see if I can come up with some more interesting things! It will probably do me good. I am a terrible procrastinator (or very good – depends on your viewpoint) and I am a classic for getting into about 15 projects, start each one and then “oooooo – look at that shiny thing over there” and get embroiled in something else to not finish.
I’ll work on it 🙂

Strawberry ice cream, blueberry ice cream

Not that the terrible late night kitchen lighting helps make this look appetising, but maybe tomorrow when they are frozen properly and in proper light they will look more scrumptious!

Anyway -short and sweet. Trying to curb my nocturnal habits a little. We were so late with dinner tonight (9pm!!)
Easy to stay out late in the garden when the weather is nice!

Hope your day is grand!
Cheers!

  1. Mavis is a machine! I don’t know how she does it. Makes me feel pretty lazy when I read her posts. We picked up a bunch of patio pavers for free recently. I’m not sure what we’ll do with them yet but I can’t turn down free! And your icecream looks yummy.

    1. Lol – She sure is!! (Mavis) Nice one re the pavers! Eventually we will work out a good use for these things! They cost so much to go and buy!
      ooooo – looking forward to the ice cream tonight!! 🙂
