Activities around the Chookpen

Had a busy weekend with a cardmaking day on Saturday, to raise money for orphans & lepers in Thailand and also the bushfires.On Sunday Tash, Karen's friend had a Tupperware party. We also had a lovely dinner at Viv and Mick's along with Maureen and (Mick's sister) and three other friends of our hosts.Was a lovely evening.Was good to relax because the rest of the day had not been so good. It was very hot again. Then cameWednesday!!!!!!!What a day. It was quite cold, I had to put a cardigan on and , believe it or not, it rained and it rained. Yes , we had big puddles and I can't jump puddles any more! Today still cool in the morning but since I was cleaning the oven for our house, I actually got a bit sunburned again in the afternoon,despite my hat and cream. Still no news from the council even though Rick finalised the sewerage question with them,. Since the builders requested if they could have the planning permission, we thought we might be able to physically pick it up. But, oh no , they had an all day meeting and we can't expect it before Tuesday since Monday is a public holiday. It is now over 5 months since we first saw the builders and still no start! Incredible, I just have no nails left at all. Even planning a holiday for Xmas isn't helping that. Today Bella started her first riding lesson for the year but Pixie was not quite ready. She really does her best to help look after her horse,mucking out the stable and letting her in and out and the occasional brushing. Bella brushing and currying her horse ,Pixie.
Pixie is quite happy in the horse float.
Off they go
Tash and Karen making scones at the Tupperware Party.
The sprinklers are on so Pixie is having her evening snack from the Chookpen's gate.
Yes rainclouds!
