Spruced Up

Did I mention that Kirrily, our boarder is an apprentice hairdresser?
She gets chances to have clients in so she can practice and today was the first chance I have had all year. It was lovely to get my hair washed, dried and fancied up!
Lovely way to start the day! (Photo taken after battling through the rain, so not too bad!!!)

A typical winters day – dark and lots of rain, thankfully no more crazy wind.

Can’t get used to seeing this mess every time I go down to visit the chooks.
We haven’t had a chance to get back into doing anything since the first day. We did cut off some of the mess and remove it out of my garden.

One of these new girls is laying! A cute little brown egg. Three so far. Very proud!!

The white garlic patch has started to show green shoots! Will probably be another couple of weeks before they will be up high enough to mulch.
The early garlic is going along beautifully and the seaweed is keeping the weeds at bay

Oh and the cabbages!! Getting nice hearts on them!

Signs of spring already. I am seeing the bulbs from the daffies starting to pop up, also the tulips and today I noticed the day lilies!

Even though I pulled up most of it, the onion grass still persists in returning. It is rather sweet though.

Plenty of new buds on the Protea too!

Another couple of ‘single’ cuffs! I very much like the colours on the above glove.
Eventually I will get mates done for them although I knitted a completely new and unrelated cuff tonight.

A lot of today consisted of driving Jeff to an appointment (when he comes off a night shift sometimes its better I do the driving!!) and a few things in town before buckling down to finish a bit of tidying up and cake baking.
The coordinator for the international students is due in tomorrow morning to see if our place passes muster to host them. There is also an information night tomorrow night to go along to.

Anyway, I really need to not be up all night (again) My sleeping habits are ridiculous!!
Hope everyone had a fantastic day!
Cheers

Sweet peas still hanging in there!
