I did miss the Fringe festival though - always such a fun time of year to get out and about.<br />Congrats on the show wins - a cheese voucher definitely sounds like my kind of trophy too.<br />Hope your resident snakes make themselves scarce.<br />Cheers,<br />LauraGrow Gather Enjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069999391136930106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-26551922830772776872018-03-18T11:33:33.092+10:302018-03-18T11:33:33.092+10:30Sally, I'm guessing your wet weather arrives i...Sally, I'm guessing your wet weather arrives in earnest, during winter? We receive the most rainfall, during summer. Traditionally. That's changing, year to year now! ;)<br /><br />I've been through a few life-changing moments, lately too. First was realising we weren't going to have any more kids. I've always been fine with that, until my hormones started to change and remind me the clock is ticking! Then there was having my baby, start school this year. <br /><br />While not life-threatening, or even, what I would consider a crisis - it does require a recalibration of what you've known, to a new reality of what you don't! I need to be kind to myself during these moments, and not expect a quick solution. It sounded like it took you a good year, to find your new place of contentment.<br /><br />Congratulations on your prizes. And enjoy local cheese, made by someone else for a change. ;)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-85921175275137603362018-03-18T07:24:01.822+10:302018-03-18T07:24:01.822+10:30Sally I was asleep as it was 11pm and Bob was taki...Sally I was asleep as it was 11pm and Bob was taking our furkid out for her last pee of the night and he heard all this noise. Thankfully he woke me to tell me because as it was caught in the mouse trap I would have picked up the trap the next morning. Bob dealt with the 25cm snake very carefully.<br />I too was always told if you have sleepy lizards or blue tongue lizards or shinglebacks you will never have to worry about snakes. Well that has got to be a myth because we have lots of 'sleepys' and blue tongues and now we have snakes. We have a family of skinks living near our bathroom and sometimes we find them climbing over the outside of our bathroom window which is set higher up on the wall for privacy. Frightened the life out of me when I first saw one of them.<br />There is a lesson here for all of us. Make sure you wear closed footwear whenever you go outside and keep your eyes open.

I often thought that if we had skinks we didn't have snakes, but that's a myth I know now because we have lots of dear little skinks too.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-77171198988415250312018-03-17T16:00:23.809+10:302018-03-17T16:00:23.809+10:30Cheryl I can understand how the changes in your pr...Cheryl I can understand how the changes in your profession could be challenging. You are fortunate to work part time. From reading your blog I can see that your'e already putting things in place for your eventual time to step away from working. I have another five years to go before I can think about applying for even a part pension, but our lifestyle and simple living has made it possible for me to stop working. I do hope that everyone has the opportunity to reduce or stop their paid work when they reach their early sixties, but it can only happen with planning and preparation. Hang in there and keep up with the great work that you do at home and at work.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-19422143132924023772018-03-17T15:50:22.705+10:302018-03-17T15:50:22.705+10:30Congratulations of your retirement Brigie.

This dryness is normal for this time of year here in SA, but it starts to get a bit tedious and thoughts of rain tend to give us 'jungle fever' ;-)Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-7876339815457580152018-03-17T15:44:29.135+10:302018-03-17T15:44:29.135+10:30Just a little bit of rain dear Emma.

Bob heard this banging and crashing and went to investigate. It was evening and the baby brown was after a skink. Both had crawled through the tiny space around the edge of the roller door. Yikes! <br />Luckily we have a good door seal on the door connecting the garage to the house. <br />Always a pleasure to read your posts 🤗Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758926343154376267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-66825415751870020492018-03-17T07:20:28.553+10:302018-03-17T07:20:28.553+10:30Well done with your Show entries.

I only work 5 shifts a fortnight, and like you I love home, but I find even I have to be disciplined about time management, as I'm home more than I'm at work! It is so easy to fritter away the hours on less than productive things if you aren't careful. I cringe when I remember I've got another 20 years of paid employment ahead of me, particularly in my rapidly changing (with technology) stressful and physically demanding job as a Nurse, I know the day will come when I just walk away, a day when it all gets too much, but I will need another paid job to tide me over. How I wish I could get paid to stay at home...I wouldn't even expect a huge wage, just enough to cover the bills...le sigh.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900993246451486017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-39529997836584001222018-03-16T20:50:36.892+10:302018-03-16T20:50:36.892+10:30We too are looking for rain, it is so so dry and d...We too are looking for rain, it is so so dry and dusty. Interesting to read your thoughts on retiring. I had my last work day on Thursday. Right now I know it was the best decision. Like you, I was tired and, like you, I'm sure I will look back in a few months and realise just how so. I am so very much looking forward to newer adventures at home and out. Interesting read.Brigiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890031667317084577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-65094435508523717742018-03-16T18:06:28.444+10:302018-03-16T18:06:28.444+10:30I hope you've now had some rain, Sally.

Not seen a single snake here this Summer, though came close to two when out walking in National Park up at Noosa a while ago. Not browns though. Not seeing any snakes is unusual here so unsure where they've all got to but not unhappy about their absence (now I've said that I'll probably see one tomorrow!)
