Cluck Like a Chicken!

Meet the new chooks! 6 hens and a rooster. They're only a few weeks old. Hopefully in a little while they will get all clucky and broody and make lots of babies for the freezer. Please forgive me but with all this new livestock happening (lambs and chooks) I just can't help thinking "Hmmmmmm............ Webber.............".

They're living in a kind of holding pen at the moment so the other chooks don't monster them and kill them. But they will be let out into chook society as soon as possible.

And guess what else?! The zucchinni's and strawberries have got heaps of blossoms on them, and the tomato bushes are absolutely loaded and Scott found a red one this morning, so we should be getting some PRODUCE really soon. I'm so excited, I just can't wait. I really need to get busy out in the garden over the next 2 weeks though, I have to get a bed ready for the corn seedlings to go into. I want to plant them out Christmas Day because I know I'll be off that day, and I just didn't realise how close it is.

Things are finally starting to pick up at both jobs, I had a fairly busy week this last week. I thought I had another job too and I was really happy about it, but it turns out I'm not going to be able to do it because of conflicting hours, so I had to let it go. But next year when everything goes quiet again I can re-apply, so I'll definitely be doing that.

Things are good. I've been walking every day (am thinking to forget about it today though - just catch it up tomorrow), diet has been good (till last night and today), I'll definitely get back on track tomorrow. I've been keeping a food diary on calorieking.com and checking into the forum there every day for support. My budget goals for December seem to be falling into place. I've got the cardboard to make my dreamboard for 2009, and I've been giving it a lot of thought, so I'll be getting stuck into that over the next couple of weeks too. I didn't make one last year and I got a little lost, seemed to lose my focus, so I don't want THAT to happen again! Anyway....... I'm going out to say hello to the babies again and see if there's any more blossoms in the garden. What's that they say about a watched pot never boiling?.................
