Luna Has Massive Hair Loss

With all the hot weather lately it seems to have triggered a malting phase for Luna. Amy brushes her most nights and one night last week she brushed off this amount of hair!

Lachlan Proves Useful Yet Again

Lachlan has been hard at work out in the garage. Bill brought himself an electric bike kit, it had sat there for a couple of months, so while Lachlan was on holidays he paid him to assemble the kit and put on a bike. It is already to go, just needs to be taken for a test ride! Lachlan has also put together his new workbench and  cabinets.

Bill and the Dogs

As you can gather from the photos Bill really is a dog man. Saturday afternoon after we had been spreading mulch everywhere, he took a break and sat outside with Jack on his lap, before you knew it Benji and Luna had come in to join him!

Sunday morning sleep in in the second photo! It doesn't take long once I get up for someone else to take my place, Bill is sound asleep with Jack snuggled in and Benji and Luna making themselves comfortable as well.

Garden Produce

Just starting to pick stuff from the garden, it is great, getting a zucchini every couple of days which is just great, normally I plant too many and we get them coming out of our ears and the kids get sick of having zucchini in every possible way- it is a good thing I love zucchini! We have lots of green tomatoes and they are slowly starting to ripen and I picked my first cucumber and there is another on the way. The raspberries have just finished but it was lovely having fresh raspberries for breakfast for the last three weeks! We have an abundant supply of eggs,  the other night I made a herbed zucchini and feta frittata for dinner- the only thing I had to buy was the feta!

Hanging around and Relaxing

 

The week between Christmas and New Year has been pretty quiet and lots of time has been spent relaxing which has been nice. It means however not much to put up on the blog. All four of us have time of at work so there has been lots of sleeping in ( but not me- unfortunately if I sleep past 6am it is a miracle!) Bill and I have been for a few bike rides, the dogs have been walked and lots of chocolate and Christmas goodies have been consumed. I few little jobs have been done and it has just been nice to have had time of work. Bill and I even went to the movies- usually once a year if we are lucky, we just saw the movie Philomena with Judy Dench in it, it was excellent. Have been picking a few beans and zucchini from the garden and picking the last of the raspberries- have had an excellent crop this year!

Bill brought a kiddy trailer for the bike to tow Jack in, now that he has a sore leg and supposed to be keeping off it, he made that up and put Jack in it who does not seem all that impressed!

Nail Art

 

Amy's latest artistic bent is painting her nails and creating nail art. This started a couple of months ago and she has been busy buying up all the OPI nail polish in Australia and also importing from overseas! This nail polish line is about 4 jars deep!

 

She has been painting quite a few different designs as you can see below.

 

I have even volunteered to be a guinea pig- I normally never have painted nails and it feels weird! I had my nails braided today with green, gold, and black. I had Christmas Trees painted before Christmas but forgot to take a picture of those.
