The weekend over before we knew it and its funny that it doesn’t it fly by that quick when husband is at work but truth is often it’s because we clock watch when he is at work a bad habit that I must get out of. We spent it together in the garden mostly. My hands got imbedded with prickles from some Bougainville and this morning they are killing me I am not a gardener. If it’s not a native it does not do well with me the Bougainville will be short lived in the yard.
It was also the weekend my B3 discovered he wasn’t the favourite child after we discussed favoritism and how his father and I loved them all equal. His reaction as we said that we loved them all equally was mixed with disappointment and happiness but there is no favourite here they are all equal and its important for them to know that we do however refer to them as B1 being our favourite B1, B2 is our favourite B2 and B3 will always be our favourite B3. I dont doubt this is where B3’s confusion lay.
So it’s the third week of July my B2 realised we are half way through the year and so these are the few things running through my head.
1.I love in a small town rural. You hear cows instead of cars of a night so its with great disappointment that I found out that the free range piggery that sits on the outskirts of town {nexst to a wagu beef farm} was forced to close..forced to slaughter the pigs they couldn’t sell..because the city slickers living across the way have their hands in the local councils pockets. This is a country area..a lively hood is now lost..another farmer gone. When we are back to slaughtering our own animals I guess only then will they will be grateful someone does the dirty work for them. A pig is one of the cleanest animals you can have on a farm..ignorant gits…don’t live in the country or “weekend” in the country if you cant handle a animal or two..
2. Support Sunday this week overwhelmed me in a good way. The thoughtfulness and care of the responses blew me away. It didn’t surprise me just after the despair of last week made me ‘ho hum’ but Sunday’s responses it was like a sucker punch to terror and all that evil.
3. In my former life I was in hotels and loved it. I worked front office, reservations and events. So we are now looking at renting out a property of ours for holiday stays..its like being given my own hotel I am so excited about it also thank you to everyone who offered tips about what they like in a holiday stay..if you have any to share let me know.
4. I’m coming to the Gold Coast at the end of August if anyone fancies coffee can you give me an email.. debbie@thefifowife.com.au would love to meet some of you..
5. My husband brought the Cadbury picnic chocolate slab..he brought this morning six hours later its gone..its why I never bring the stuff into the house. What was he thinking?
