A Little Update

 Garden


I bought some bananas and passionfruit which got planted and I was given some kale which I had to re-pot.

Chickens

They think it's hilarious that I've planted a garden and before long had de-leafed the passionfruit and two pots of kale. The yard built to retain them now means nothing and the kale has been shifted high off the ground and the passionfruit entirely given up on. However, since moving back to the NT, they've laid five eggs.

Dog

Those eggs? Dog beat me to two of them. Some education was required to keep Dog inside the yard and to not bust through certain sections of it.
Then Dog got company and she wasn't too impressed about it. She not only now has to share my attention but share the eggs as well.

Cat

While I was away down at the station the cat ran away from my pet sitter's house. He was seen that night by the pet sitter's neighbours and not since. I hold out small hope of him being able to navigate himself back to the block. It's unlikely he'll return to the pet sitter's. Numerous attempts have been made to look for him. 

Wild Dogs

The pups are running with the rest of the pack now and together they all howl at night and early morning.

Comfort

I've got a new hot water system... I've painted water receptacles black and I lay them in the sun during the day so that they're nice and hot by the time I get home. It'd be good to expand upon what I've got and I've learned that it's best to have my bogey before the sun dips below the tree line. I'm now also sleeping in the walkway of the container. I protest less getting out of bed on cold mornings this way.
