shapeofthingsWeekend:
Friday night drinks and dinner w. my friend D. She lives in Melbourne but has a little place here in the village of Hamilton. We met last year on the plane and I'm very glad we're both happy to talk to strangers and have become friends. A very tasty and ethically sound dinner was enjoyed at ethos, and the wine went straight to my head.
Saturday gardening mission: rosebush finally properly pruned and the front bed weeding almost completed. Planted the peas & lettuce that had self-seeded into the bed prepped in June. Weeded the existing salad-veg bed & got started on the forest growing out of my pavers. Righted the collapsed greenhouse and realised that it's time I got my spring seeds started already. Where did winter go? Booked a trip up to visit the Tarkine with Norm for late October. More chores before dinner at the lovely Kat's and an early night.
Sunday morning amble down to Farm Gate Market for my veggie shop and a couple of treats (Masaaki's amazing sushi & Mrs. Ree's gluten & dairy free goodies). Walking home with a backpack full of root veggies and plans to make beetroot & onion jam (when I'll find time who can say?). Prepped a winter veg, chickpea & chorizo stew & stuck it in the oven on low, low heat while I went to taiko for a fun 2 hours of tazi-jima. Remembered to order my spring veg seeds online, tackled a few more chores and ate a very tasty slow-cooked stew.
Now I need to do the ironing (from before I went away) and write a promised explanation of fisheries science. As always, there's more to be done than I have time to do. Like editing the rest of my trip photos, and making that beetroot jam...
Next weekend L is down from Melbourne. Saturday he, Kat and I are heading to Bruny Island for a bushwalk and picnic. Sunday we've designated seedling-fest and all will descend here to pot up spring seeds and eat home-baked vegan goodies. I'm looking forward to it. =o)
