My 'excuse' It has just rained again (first time) - since my last blog & we haved moved house again (second time - second excuse)! - since moving back to Australia from New Zealand & - (third excuse) - I have been a tad busy & of course I am now a 'working mum' - is that a forth excuse?!

Too busy reading blogs to blog:)

It's Autumn here, a time to think of planting - the days are cooler the humidity is dropping, hurrah a good nights sleep is guaranteed and after all this good nights sleeping, my thoughts turn to self sufficiency, and other things as well.
We still own property in NZ and are renting in OZ and as the owners love their palms and grass I/we cannot dig up the back yard for a veggie patch so this weekend we are going to make some wicking boxes to grow our veggies in.
We now have seven wicking boxes planted up with more planned. This was a joint effort, P did the 'engineering' I did the hard work :)
As there is limited space I am going to plant sugar snap and zucchini/courgettes in hanging baskets will let you know if it works.
When I work out how to publish piccies, I will publish piccies :)

Hair
Hair what is it about hair and well hair & hairdressers?
I am a natural blond...unfortunately my hair has forgotten this and insists on growing out mousy, and just lately mousy with sparkly bits.
I take ages to find a hairdresser that I am happy with, I had the perfect one here in Brisbane, then we moved to NZ. Five hairdressers later I was settled, perfect, two wonderful chaps one to colour, sorry enhance and one to cut, I even snuck in visits to my perfect hairdresser chaps when I had to go back to NZ a couple of times. BTW, If anyone is interested Gorgeous B&B for sale in Hawke's Bay - Hawthorne Country House.
Anyway----Four months later I had no excuse, couldn't think of a reason to go to NZ and anyway would you pay $1000.00 Australian to fly to your hairdresser? I certainly couldn't. So I had to find someone in Brisbane...........
After much deliberation and walking past and peering in the window. Think I have, two chaps, one to colour,sorry enhance, one to cut. Hurrah - no longer mousey with sparkly bits, grown out blonde, strawberry and peach bits and a possum stripe down the middle the width of the M4 (don't know if I am allowed to say roots, so have substituted middle).
Sporting a new colour and hairdo , the style of which will never be seen again, until I visit the chaps next time, can't quite master the hairdryer round the back of my head not enough arms.
Even p & a noticed, the cat she just wanted her dinner!
And don't I feel grand :)

Getting back in touch
Well, phew, what can I say I have entered the world of 'blogship' if that is what this is called, and all because my daughter said I was her friend on facebook. Wondering what facebook was all about I signed on, I was amazed, a whole new parallel universe in the same universe and I found that someone I knew many years ago, and would call a friend, and I have to admit I am someone who has a lot of aquaintences and very few friends, had posted on the facebook wall a reply to my daughter. She, the friend that is, has a blog, (a second parallel universe, how many parallel universes are there going to be?) which I read with fastination, I had never encountered a blog before. I know amazing, hand-knitted muesli had not encountered a blog before, where does she live you ask? I don't know if I like to admit where, so I won't, not just yet..... Anyway I emailed her, the friend not my daughter, she replied, the wonders of modern technology, we have re-connected. So I will have to make the effort and blog and most importantly keep in touch with a friend. & maybe in the fullness of time let on where I have been all these years without encountering a blog. I wonder if she will read my blog. I will let you know.
