Even though it seems like it has been raining for ever we have had a few cracker frosts up here on the hill - not the usual. We tend to miss out. Well they have got the renegade potatoes - good job and they have actually frozen our pipes !! Now that we no longer use a pump to get water into the house we have a gravity feed system that we pump up to every week. Which means we have exposed pipe on top of the grass - running along fence lines. So just when I go yay I can have a shower whenever I want as it is not sucking down excessive amounts of power ... being on an alternative system ... the blimmin pipes freeze for 2 mornings and I can't have a shower until they thaw !!!
Anika and I love looking and playing in the frost.
And Anika wins the gold medal !!! Yay ..... for everything ... as Anika must have the gold otherwise .... tears ... even if Daddy wins it for the biggest nose !! Anika has enjoyed the Olympics too. It has been a good opportunity to talk more about countries etc. She says that 3 1/2 is a bit young to go to the Olympics yet. She has been practicing constantly on her bunk bed - swinging on the bar - ready to compete !!
Yay - two sunny days in a row and I think we did have up to 4 dry ones !! That meant Andrew got all enthusiastic and has attacked our front paddock / lawn area. We had a stack of straw left over from the house building which we are using for mulch on the edge of our hill to mark out the lawn. It has got soooo sodden that the only way to move it has been to use a tractor. Yay a bit more progress. Keep watching this spot !! One day we will have lawn !!
