‘Got any plans for today?, I’m going fishing with the boys later on if you wanna come’
‘no, not today…I really need to do some spring cleaning, would you be able to help me trim the fruit tree’s before you go’
‘sure, I’ll go do it now’



All this working just to grow lemons, and by the time they’re ready it will probably be winter again. I can’t believe how often we need to spray the trees for bugs, sometimes twice a day! Well at least we’re getting oranges.



‘ok, tree’s are done…I’ll see you in a few hours’
‘thank you, have fun..bring back lot’s of fish’
‘haha I’ll try’

Better go see how the cucumber and strawberry plants are going. Oh look at Pippin, he looks so proud to be peeing outside hahaha. I swear that’s a smile on his face.




I might call the Jane and April later, see if they want to hit the boutiques tomorrow. I need a bit of retail therapy after all this.



Finally my plants are starting to look healthy. Even Dave is getting interested in growing our own fruit and veg, calling the gardening club and all…and there he was 3 years ago calling me a nanna for it!

Am I showing my age or is there something rewarding about spring cleaning your house.




I don’t feel so good…maybe I need to eat something.



I could really go a hamburger, yeah that’s what I’ll do…cook up some burgers on the Barbeque. Dave should be home soon and he’ll be famished for sure.

That’s funny, I feel fine now….probably the insecticide was getting to me.




‘burgers on the Barbie! You little ripper…I’m starving’
‘I thought you would be…how was your day…catch anything?’
‘yeah, most of them I threw back but I brought 2 home…they’re in the freezer…I’m just going to dive in the pool’
‘but the burgers are ready!’




Oookay then..

Oh god, there’s that feeling again…only this time….



‘are you ok hon?’
‘I’m fine, I don’t know what came over me…I’m alright, I feel better after that…probably just a tummy bug…god is that a rain cloud?’
‘yep, it’s just started sprinkling’




Good thing we finished eating. I can’t seem to escape the rain, no matter where we move. One benefit I suppose is I never have to water my plants.

It’s getting dark already! It’s taken me almost the whole day to do the housework and I haven’t even finished yet.

Damn, the toilets blocked again, just how I wanted to finish my day, covered in toilet water.
Just the shower to go then I’ll take a bath.



That feels better….


What the…..?


Holy shit!
