A Brief(ish!) Catch Up
Well, I haven’t been blogging much lately due to the tumblr app on my phone giving up completely. It really needs some updates - get to it tumblr!
Anyway, I think the last time I blogged properly was when the chicks were hatching! We now have two beautiful (rather ridiculous looking) chicks which are about 4 weeks old now. We should be able to sex them very soon but we think they’re both females so they’re safe from the cooking pot for now…
In other news I DID pass my driving test after all that stressing. Very pleased, only got 2 minors which is pretty good. Getting a new car in the next couple of months.
On the job front I’ve found a little part time job to keep me occupied whilst we’re stockpiling handmade items for our new business venture. It’s called ‘Oak & Rope’ and it’s literally just over the very tiny road from where I live, so learning to drive seems kind of pointless now! Haha! It’s our landlord’s wife’s business and I’m in charge of dispatch and a few admin things, as well as learning some new woodworking skills in the process. I’ve been there two weeks now and I’m still enjoying it (to a point - it’s work, no one likes work!).
Paul’s got some new tools for his workshop and has made a fine storage chest for the neighbours and come up with some awesome ideas for other things to make from reclaimed timber - you’ll be able to see them all in Valley Crafts UK soon!
The cats are fine - not behaving themselves, but fine! I’ve had a lot of live - and dead - gifts this week… :-S
Well, I told you this would be brief and I must dash! *Sad face* It’s Paul’s birthday and my sister’s 18th this week so we’re having a big birthday barbecue next Sunday which I need to prepare for - I’m making cakes :-O There’s also a couple of other surprises which I can’t mention in case certain people are reading this… ;-) But I’ll let you know when I can!
For now I will quit the babble and get back to my knitting and coffee! Missed you all lots!!
