Morning... when you said you were on a beach I was imagining sand...l not bumpy pebbles, I hope you slept well!!

Despite my being awake in the middle I had a surprisingly good night's sleep, and woke to see dawn and actually slept in till the radio turned on at 6:20!!!

I have pebble induced aches.

Hello again...:hello:
Hello again, how is the other end of the TPT?

:wave:

Nice to see you pop up here, I've been meaning to pop into Cooking Bites to say hi for a while:hello:
Hi... do drop by...

Hello, long time no see, how's things?
not too bad
better than they were 12 months ago when I left the UK.

:hello:
Are things all healing well, and how are the chooks??
The ribs are healing well.
The back is apparently as good as it is going to get and I am finally getting physio
I may well be eligible to trial an implant into the spine to help with the pain levels... still on the very high doses of morphine, mixture of the synthetic and real stuff now though

The chooks are err, well most of the ones from last year are dead sadly. Bad fox attack in broad daylight. Not good. One girl survived with injuries too bad and we had to euthanise her. Another was badly injured to the point that we only kept her alive because she had survived that long and didn't have severe injuries to her vent (like the other one did). Egg laying and pooping through the vent with an injury there are not going to heal. Anyhow, I drove masses amount of distances at silly hours of the night to keep her alive because she was the first egg every hatched by the lady who gave her to me (there were issues with her attacking the lady, so it was better she was rehomed to a friend who she knew would take care of her)... anyhow 5 weeks of her living in the house and yes I am very competent at chicken diapers now (homemade ones at that!).... and she is fully healed and back with the flock.... and I now have 9 chicks in the house from the eggs we had collected in the preceding few days... 11 hatched, 9 survived and they are 6 1/2 weeks old and living in a converted IKEA rejects wardrobe that I took a jigsaw to - its on its side...

We had a wonderful day yesterday which started with our coldest overnight temperature to date... -6C. I still haven't got my head around Australia, native bush and it being frozen!

Everything was coated in a good layer of hoar frost! It never made it into double digits all day. Mind you today only made it to 11C. Overnight was a balmy warm -2C.

Loving it here, in case you haven't guessed. :biggrin:
