Check it out! A new baby lamb. It was a twin but the other one got tangled up on a fence and died. Please forgive me, but I just can't help thinking "Webber..........."
My home brew is GREAT! This week I had a go at making some wine. I found this place on the net that sells yeast and special caps for juice bottles. All you do is add a measure of the yeast, cap with the special caps, wait 4 days and get into it. So tomorrow is the big day.... having our first home-made wine taste-test.
I've been doing lots of baking in an effort to keep the grocery shopping down to the barest minimum. I've always cooked meals from scratch, never been much of a fan of jars and cans and that. I always baked when my kids were little but haven't done much of it for years. I'm really enjoying it. It's working out a lot cheaper and it's definitely healthier, because I'm using all low-fat recipes. I'm thinking about having a go at making bread. I'm looking around at the moment to see if I can find some tins. I don't want to use a breadmaker, they're too expensive to run. That's a little goal anyway, something to get around to.
Still waiting for tourism to go into overdrive around here. Everybody is saying it won't be long now. Can't come quick enough for me. I want the money! Can't wait to do some serious banking.
Started ANOTHER diet today. When I quit smoking on Feb. 25 I promised myself I wouldn't beat myself up about my weight for 1 whole year. But 9 months and 15 kilos later, I don't think I can afford to wait anylonger. Any health benefits I'm gaining from quitting are being negated by the massive amount of weight I've put on.
So..... Wish me luck with the diet, the garden, the tourism situation, the livestock...... Whatever. Just check in with me again next week and I'll let you know how things are going.
