{ My Weekend }

 

I don't know about you, but I had the most productive weekend! I put a ban on going on the internet, I even hid the internet USB thingy-mahoozit on myself! So much of my time is wasted on surfing around unproductively. Not this weekend though! Oh no, this weekend was going to be the weekend of gardening, cleaning, sewing and cooking...and so this is what happened:

- planted new herbs, sage and basil
- did four loads of Mr M dirty-farm-washing

- washed sheets

- shooed pesky sheep away from said sheets as they are grazing our lawn down whilst lawn mower is broken
- put in pretty garden edging to keep naughty puppies off herb garden
- cut back overhanging plants where snakes like to hide, coming up to summer
- took new photos of canvas's for etsy shop
- made two new minky blankets for etsy shop
- finally got my horse Mr Archie out for a ride, got sunburnt on my arms and shoulders, ouch
- gave Tessa a much needed bath
- scolded Tessa for rolling in grass clippings after her bath
- made lasagne, possibly best bechamel sauce of my lasagne making career
- made cinnamon, rolled oats and vanilla biscuits - yummy smell through the cottage achieved
- crunched some numbers for Little Miss Emma, my poor little calculator
- took photos of awesome lavander
- oiled the outdoor timber table and chairs, ran out of oil, need to buy more

And my favourite thing I did this weekend...

- rolled in the grass with our dogs Buddy, Lily, Pippa, Tessa, as well as Pippa's mum Roxy who we are looking after for friends at the moment. Five dogs is fun!

Phew! Are you exhausted? I am surprisingly not - very productive but very relaxing at the same time. This week I must call the freerange hen man that comes to Yea for chicken deliveries. I used to have two little hens, only one would lay though so I thought that one was a bit gender confused - I named them Mr and Mrs Chicken. After the fires in February sadly Mr Chicken went to Chicken Heaven after all the smoke and stress. Mrs Chicken continued laying for a few weeks but then stopped. She has been all alone since February and I think she is depressed. I am going to get three or four more chickens, but I think Mrs Chicken will go to Chicken Heaven to be with Mr Chicken - she is quite old and I hear it's quite hard to introduce new chickens.

What did you get up to on the weekend?
