watered the overgrown vege garden this morning
by hand
picked tonights dinner
had 2 coffees, washed and hung out tablecloths for this weekends market stalls, got 2 batches of castile and shampoo i made yesterday into their 30 litre dilution pots,
got lids on 70 foot balm, 40 jarrah lip balm and 40 balm for baby bottoms.........................then cleared the decks for lotion orders that came in unexpectedly this morning....
yippee!...........................then!
i heard the doglets warning bark! which means...COME AND LOOK SOMEONE!... RIGHT NOW!!!!...........................................yes, it IS a shouting bark, continuous, short, deep wooooffs : )
so i went to find him............out the back of the Shed, he was looking pointedly, but at a distance of half a metre, at the compost i have under black plastic, so with caution i picked up the handy hoe, pushed the bricks off and lifted up the plastic! ..........and sure enough there was a beautiful young dugite, its a bit late in the year, but it was warm and sunny today and there are lots of mice about
so we (the dog and me) called for assistance from the other half, collected various utensils for catching and bagging to take away elsewhere....i was sceptical about this part......especially as i was asked to hold the bag open?????......but by the time we got back it had slipped away to somewhere else in the vege patch, so i didnt get a photo to show you : (
i nicked this one from here! because its the same coulour
it reappeared at the other end of the garden 30 metres away about an hour later, and went under some large pot plants that unfortunately havent been weeded around since spring, so i suppose thats another job to add to the list for me and the dog on the weekend while the other half does markets on his own.
so after another coffee and a sit down we went back to the 'big kitchen' to start making 60 lotions for orders and 100 for stock, and its now 9pm and there is one batch of 60 left to bottle!
phew!!............ what a day! perhaps i will warm them up and bottle in the morning
