Prepare for a ramble

You may have noticed I haven't been posting as often lately. Well there are multiple reasons. Firstly my borrowed computer s so old and slow and the keyboard misses letters so it is so frustrating to type anything. My camera has died...:( but luckily I moved into the 21st century an got a mobile phone so I can still take some pictures...the quality is a bit bad though.

The other reason I'm not around here as much is general busy-ness. We have had WWOOFers to organize and we are getting ready for our Winter Solstice Market Day. I don't know what I was thinking when I stared to organise this... There is advertising, stalls, food, entertainment to arrange...the list is endless. BUT hopefully I'll achieve my aim of generating a space for local People to come together to trade and have fun.

I've been crocheting a new blanket. It's not a very clear photo but you can make out the colours at least!

We made these yummy stuffed chapatis for lunch yesterday. Mr T was enjoying his so much he had to take a picture of it.

His collection of treasures we found on our walk.

Tui has been teaching herself to climb...

And gardening mulching paths with sawdust, picking heaps of squash and purple beans, eggplants (still!) and the broccoli are almost ready...yummy!

Ooops!

Mr T has been getting into the whole concept of practical jokes lately. He sets up elaborate 'traps' made of string and sticks and anything else imaginable and then not so subtly coerces his victim into the trap.
Then he colapses into fits of laughter and then wants you to fall for the trap again and again and again...
He had heard about the trap where you sit a bucket of water balanced on top of a door. And when the victim walks through the water falls on their head. He had asked me to help him set it up before daddy got home from work yesterday. I explained to him that it might be better to do that trick on a nice warm day when daddy wouldn't mind getting wet so much...and then I forgot all about it.
But Mr T hadn't forgotten. I was sitting at the computer when I heard Peace drive in and then heard Mr T getting all excited, (which he does everyday) and then as Peace opened the door a bucket full of water went flying over my head and landed on Peace and all over my computer.
OOooooops! I really had to walk away for awhile then. I managed to bite my tounge.
Mr T found me and said 'mummy I'm so sorry about your puter but I just love tricking daddy. And cause you didn't hlp me put the bucket on the door I just had to throw it at him.'
He's just so cute and sweet.. how could I possibly be angry with him for something he didn't mean to do?
Well the 'puter has dried out and is working-soradically-with an old keyboard plugged in cause the other one keeps typing qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
Might be time for another new computer.
