Facebook – or anti-aging
I have a love-hate relationship with facebook! For one, I love that I can keep in touch with people. Everybody I have ever met has touched my life in some way, so it is nice to see what people are doing. I love its chat and I love the photos. It helps me feel like […]
Weather
There is this old adage that if you’re bored (or boring) you talk about the weather. I think that talking about the weather should not be a problem at all because it’s so interesting (does that make me bored, boring, or interesting? I’ll never know…). We went to the Salamanca market today. I love Salamanca […]
Star of the Week
I help with Georgia’s kindergarten on Thursday mornings and this morning, at the teachers’ suggestions, I brought Matthew along with me! He was very well behaved. He played with play dough and he drew pictures, played in the home corner (mostly with the telephone: “Hello…Bye”) and he even ran about with the students when they […]

Cabin Fever
I like living here. I look out the window and see rolling hills and green grass. There is a forest and in the mornings the fog creeps along and makes everything look romantic. We can see Geeveston in the valley, and at night the lights sparkle like a fairy town. My washing takes ages to […]
Karma?
We took the life of one rooster and something took the life of another. Poor Dickie Jnr, a young Light Sussex, was roosting outside the chookhouse last night and was snatched and eaten by something carnivorous. We don’t think it was any of our pets. But we’ll never know. RIP Dickie Jnr
Chicken Dinner
Recently we acquired some new birds: 2 roosters and 5 new hens. Monte built a chookhouse for the new hens and one of the roosters. But we still had one rooster too many! You might remember the story about the rooster who heard that he was going to be our dinner, and he ran away? […]
