work is NUTS! i will never skite about being a cruisy public servant again. hence the lack of blogging. but there is hopefully some good worky news to post in the next couple of weeks…
the lawn has ‘taken’ - that is, it is green-ish and getting longer. phew - that’s the scary thing about instant lawn, that it may just turn up its toes and die on you, making a mockery of the expensive convenience of instant lawn.
the winter vegies are finally in - carrots, onions, silverbeet, broccoli, peas and beans, and an experimental crop of potatoes (i think it will be too cold but you never know until you try!). i’ve also planted a mess of flower seeds - pansies, lobelia, columbines, calendula and marigolds, scabiosa, and goodness knows what else. i am hoping for a flowerful spring this year - which reminds me, must get more bulbs (tulips!).
i finished an exquisite baby jumper with a shawl collar in mottled maroons and blacks - it is so beautiful i get all squishy when i look at it. i am now working on very dinky orange and cream stay-on booties for my pregnant boss at work (soooo many pregnant women at work!) because she is very cool and i want to give her something nice.
after looking up the definition in the dictionary i’ve decided we are definitely not bourgeois. well, i hope not anyway. might post more on this later. you know, we make a lot of our own stuff. and stuff. ah shit…
and we are feeling a lot better than we were a week ago. chins up, looking forward! here we go again.
