Chickens: I bought a new bale of straw for the chicken coop. We've had a lot of rain over the past few weeks and things are getting pretty soggy down there. So, after a good clean out and fresh straw they were back in happily kicking around. Needing to throw a lot of extra greens into the coop to give them something extra to nibble on now that they're contained for more hours (with putting them away a little earlier so they don't roost in the trees).
Seedlings: I potted up my seedlings since they have reached the two-leaf stage - it appears that I had mixed success with the broccoli and cauliflower seeds so repeated these with a fresh packet.
Garlic: Making plans to buy some garlic for planting in about 2 weeks time. I'll also do another lot on the Winter Solstice.
Seeds: Sowing more above ground leafy green seeds as per my lunar calendar.
Herb/Weed ID: I've been wanting to find some mullein to get a visual ID on, and make sure I don't mix it up with foxglove. Well, I was fortunate when away for my first women's weekend that I was able to ask a fellow wild weed user to point them out for me - perfect!
Technology: Well, it seems the kids finally have a game console that brings them into the 2010s. My mum the Baby-Boomer is more onto it than us lol. She gifted Nathan one of her WiiFits (she had 2!) for his birthday. Last year he got her hand-me-down digital camera that was better quality than my one lol. I've not really been hanging out for them to have something like this, but it is kind of nice that they aren't the completely missing out due my own disinterest. So I can see a bit of a game-buying session coming on.
