i got out of the hospital early last week
even then i didn’t have time to get everything on my list. when i first switched to ashburton hospital i think they looked the procedure up and did it by the book which means you set the pump to ...
i woke up this morning with a headache so this'll probably be a dull entry
i’ve had a fairly slow week anyway. i painted up some foundation skirting boards to put around the other sleepout but never got around to nailing them on. i had a few other things i wanted to do....
i made a start of getting the garden ready on wednesday
there were a bunch of old cabbages to dig out and two rows of mostly untouched silverbeet to dig up. the old bugger wanted me to dig up and move the 7 remaining leeks so i did that rather than ar...
there was a bit of drama here on thursday
i wrote a while back about collecting and spreading some beach grass seeds on the beach to try and build the bank a bit higher and hopefully prevent waves from crashing right over the top of it. ...
i think this will be a fairly short entry
it rained all weekend. the forecast for the rest of the week has a little cloud, raindrop and sunshine icon for each day so who knows what will happen. i’d like to get the ground leveled out for ...
a few days late
last week when i went to trim the kiwifruit vine the old bugger said he’d put the finishing touches on those salmon and wanted me to take a look. then he asked if i’d go down to twizel with him a...
yesterday
peter welded together the frame that a salmon is mounted to which then mounts to the roof of a car. it’s the one the old bugger was fixing for a salmon farm down at the canals. now he’s got their...
zero mishaps babysitting
except for bryce forgetting to bring his tablet on tuesday and then refusing any of my suggestions for things to do. then on wednesday bryce had a little rock collection thing with various types ...
another quiet week
i still don’t feel so well. shaky, no energy. nausea, no appetite. it kind of feels like i’ve had way too much coffee except without the alertness. my infusion last week went fine, i think. i sle...
i don't have much to write about this week
i’ve had the weirdest cold. if it weren’t for the sore throat i wouldn’t even think it was a cold. mostly it’s just been nausea, violent shivering and zero energy. i sneezed non-stop for two days...
last week,
on tuesday, i went up to the garden to get some leeks and the old bugger said he’d dug through his pile of fish molds and found two fish we could make. then he said he hadn’t even been outside ye...
my rainbow trout
is finished and hanging on a wall. it took most of last week. i think he tired himself out with it though, he’s got two other fish he’s been working on for weeks now, if not months. a cookiecutte...
i'm a little short on time this morning
when i visited the old bugger last friday to fill his wood box he kept coming up with different projects we could take on. then yesterday when i visited he mentioned again the rainbow trout we co...
so this is a thing, maybe
i’ll write one entry anyway. last week the old bugger called and asked if i’d fetch some more firewood, i’d already filled the wood box inside the previous sunday. and stacked it to overflowing,...
