My Place

.. gots to be gray , or dift method of cooking @Appleblossom lol we had one sheep a fortnight so was one meal pretty much , had them crumbed, think was fiddly with cleaning, flouring, then crumbs , remember being told kidneys was a process or gross , as in cleaning etc, still dont mind a steak and kidney pie yum lol

guess part of reason food got better was because mum was chasing after young kids . had more time when most in teens

@Appleblossom

I don’t work but I think I would like to venture into peer support work. I am hoping to apply for Community guide here on Sane when it comes up.

I wish I had decent soil here but basically it’s just dead yellow sand. You can’t really grow anything in it. I love the sound of your garden. Yes connections and sentimentality are everything.

I get a lot of satisfaction from watching seeds grow. They start out so tiny and before too long you have a thriving plant. I like to grow organically.

I just went through my seeds and I have quite a few things that I can grow in my pots. Shallots, basil, thyme, parsley (both kinds), lettuce and spinach. I also have some marigolds and asters.

@TAB Yep funny how chasing little kids can interfere with gastronomy .... there are so many little timing issues with food ... and most of us get better at the cooking ... with a bit a practise ...

@Oaktree I have really enjoyed your company these last few days. Its meant a lot to me. Meeting a new friend.

Re sandy soil ... add worms, vegetative matter, and cow manure maybe ... lol ... I did a unit once called soil science. I have opposite problem ... clay ... add gypsum ... and keep adding vegetative matter ... I am patient ... it all takes time ... I do need to get off computer tho ... and do a little music ... am playing BeeGees ... Stayin' Alive atm. Hoping it will give me a bit of attitude ... plu Bach and Beethoven ... 3 Bs.

Likewise @Appleblossom

I really enjoy your company.

Thank you for boosting my confidence.

Absolutely understand about the need to get off the computer and do something else.

Have a great night.

We still have to have our chat about university at some stage.

And then @TAB it was just us.

True @Appleblossom AB .. re busy and timing etc. also found out later that some methods mum used werent the easiest or the best , just what she knew re sauces etc, still was a good cook though

.. yeah I guess so @Oaktree not even sure where tv guide is, ie my usual occupation when not having back spasms lol

nice to see you met Apple @Appleblossom and @tonys too it seems

can I ask you what area you are in in WA? i was ingoldfields til nearly a year ago now am in city south east. Am moving back to SA soon. think am going to try that job,not matter what it takes , dont care if have to to take a day off etc to get through. I want the bloody money lol, plus will get tax back, plus have working credit of nearly $500 from centrelink.so basically if/when get through 7 days will get all tax back eventually and ok maybe lose 2 weeks dole. think will aim more on self care , bit late for trying to strengthen things now,as in upset my back, got another drs appt tomorrow, going to get more painmeds lol

@Oaktree have you talked to mo ds re peer support? therewere some people who were here as consumers/users/clients whatever, then went over to working for SAne. young Hams is doing something to do with a call centre I think ? not really sure about that @MDT anyway work can have its uses ..

Hey @TAB

Take care trying to work hey? I understand the want for the cash but you need to look after yourself as well.

I live in the northern suburbs of Perth. Pretty much woop woop here.

@tyme did respond to my enquiry about becoming a consumer guide and said I could be in the running. That would be amazing! I hope it comes off. I wouldn’t mind working behind the scenes for sane one day as peer support. Wonder if I could do it remotely from Perth.

Meggle

Okay hope something comes of it. @Oaktree yes with have to be careful managing things. The answer still could be pulling out
