The top ones taste better I'm sure!

This morning the fog had rolled in thick and fast. It was beautiful to stand in my PJ’s wrapped with a scarf sipping my coffee among the animals this morning. It was so peaceful. Really cold but lovely and peaceful. The fog lifted so quickly and the sun came out. The next minute I heard a rumble of thunder. I thought I was hearing things for a minute and then it came again. The sky clouded over and the rain started pouring again. It was the start of a winter storm which only hung around for about an hour at the most. We have had so much rain these past weeks; it’s both wonderful and annoying. I’m tire of spongy ground and I want it all to dry up. Come on sun…. Watching the weather forecast the temperature is due to dip a fair bit this coming week.
Today Jonathan went back to rugby after been rather ill this past week. I kept him at home on Wednesday and took him off to the doctor. Gratefully the cold had not gotten into his chest and he didn’t need medication. The doc advised us to continue using the pump and taking panadol for the pain. Lots of fluids and rest too. Hmm, easier said than done. Johnny arrived home early that day too fill of the flu aswell. I got him some flu tablets from the chemist and sent them both to bed on Wednesday afternoon. Now they are both well again – thank goodness. Johnny is still coughing a bit but on the mend. As I was saying Jonathan went back to rugby today and his team won the game. Hooray for the saints!
Late afternoon after the game we moved most of the recent pruning done this past week to the back onto our bonfire. The pile is growing wildly. The weather hasn’t allowed us to burn much so it’s been growing steadily. It’s going to make a gigantic blase when the wood is dry enough to burn. We stocked up on our supply of fire wood in the process as well which is good. I sure do miss the long summer days when the light fades really late in the evening. Now we are limited to the time outside these days and it’s not nice. We did as much as we could. Tomorrow a public holiday being the queen’s birthday will bring more time. For now it’s time to retreat indoors to make supper for my hungry brood.
