My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

@tyme

I have to wait another week. We get emails on Friday 6th December. I will either be offered a place or be given other avenues.

Also I lodged a complaint against my ex psychologist and I should hear back about that on the 14th December.

Hey guys,

It’s really hot here today but it’s not too bad in the house. I only just turned on the aircon. I am trying not to run it too much. We get our solar panels installed 6th December. Hopefully then we can run the aircon during the sunny hours and it won’t cost us much. Today we went out and checked the lotto. Won $12 , put it on again for next week. Maybe we will win on Tuesday. Then we grabbed a few things at Woolies. Had to bring it home then go back to the chemist to pick up my prescriptions which I ordered on the app. Just sitting here watching Sister Wives and looking at Sane.

Re: My Place

@rav3n

Sister Wives has been running since 2010. Definitely drama along the way. So much drama that 3 of the 4 wives left him in the last couple of years.
