It is finally Spring here....makes a huge difference. No more cold. Lots of sun. Flowers growing. s xx

Zura

Sunny weather is good for a sunny disposition. I cant wait to see all your lovely work. I only got one bed of garlic done yesterday but its a big job as i strip back the mulch, redig the bed, make the holes, plant the cloves and mark them, then remulch around the new seed holes. Plus i had to break up all the garlic bulbs down into cloves and ofcourse im still preserving tomatoes.....then there is things like housework *bleck. I'd love one those self cleaning houses like on The Jetsons....i wonder if those guys that suggested harness gardening are on to that yet

venuscat

Oh gosh yes please.....I need a self-cleaning house.

No gardening or pics yet.....radically busy trying to apply to uni again and housework and it is already 4.30pm

Zura

Very exciting!! Goodluck with your application xxoo

venuscat

I applied to 3 universities

And thank you.

Time to do this properly without fuffing around.....bach of psych towards a masters so I can be a counsellor. A truly qualified one.

Zura

Being a counsellor sure sounds like your calling in life to me. Congratulations xxoo

venuscat

Very late in the game....I started this 3 years ago and did not go forward. Then again last year with an addiction counselling qual....but I really did not like it.

One of the big points of the course is that people do not need to be ready for recovery.....as an addiction counsellor it is your job to make them ready. That is not the way I see this.
I think I need to be a counsellor to kids and families....that sort of thing.

Nuff about me....how are you? xxxxx

Zura

Little bit sad today, which feels silly because i have nothing to be sad about in the present moment. I guess that is just the nature of emotions. Im going to make myself some nice roasted veg (all from my garden) and then get outside when the suns warmed everything up.

venuscat

Yes, the nature of emotions. And the human experience. s

And gosh this stupid virus.....it all affects us. s
I hope the veggies are superb.....of curse they will be because you grew them. xxxxx

Love you so much Zura. s xx

Zura

Yes, I am probably just a little bit lonely and socialising is obviously off the table lol. Love you too Venus. Im so excited for you

venuscat

Huge hugs honey. xxxxxx

And thank you....I hope I can make this work finally.

Zura

Good Morning All,
Steely - Hope your doing ok and just quiet because your processing

All well in downtown Sydney. Consciously working on acceptance. My poor little brain can only take it in small doses, but that's ok.

Here's a little something that is kinda garden related, but more intended to remind Venus of home.

The maggies miss you.

Love to you as well, Zura.

Dee74

Good to hear from you Steely

Steely

Smiley 😊, Dee

Did you see the YouTube video of all of the maggies sitting in a line on the fence singing together? It was in my ***** (Aus) email, but I couldn't find it on youtube.
Thank you for that darling Steely. s

Goodnight sweet dreams to all of you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

(I had the worst day I have pretty much ever had yesterday.....so today can only be better ).

Steely

I saw it Venus, but like you couldn't find it on YouTube. It was the one I wanted to post. It was beautiful

Dearest Zura, you are very perceptive. Yes, been processing. Crumbs, what a task. Feels good though.

Hope all is well with you. ❤️

Zura

I love my maggies......now. I was attacked badly by one when i was very little because one of the much older "neighbour kids" talked me into climbing up a pine tree to get a nest of baby birds and i didnt know any better, i climbed the tree but something told me it wasnt the right thing to do and I climbed back down. I still got attacked and a nasty gash on the back of my head!! Ferocious Mumma was just protecting her babies. I was a bit jumpy around swooping season from that point onwards for quite sometime Needless to say the whole thing created a rather ferocious response from my own protective Mumma and i wasnt allowed to play with that girl anymore.

Im so glad your taking the time too gently process it all Steely, I think acceptance is a great way to approach it. It will sound strange but being by my Mum's side as she lay dying and holding her hand as she passed away and the following period of saying goodbye in a loving and accepting way was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, second only to giving birth to my own babies. I think your very strong xxoo

Im doing quite well, I had a lovely day yesterday that i made just about me and not my goals. The balance was tipping a bit to far in that direction but i always seem to get a handle on it and steer it back before it gets away on me.

I hope your having a better day Venus xxoo

Thinking of you all, sending love and hugs and mushiness

I just had a nice chat with my neighbours next door and across the street.
Seeing people is so good.

My nephew got attacked by magpies as a little kid, over and over.....they just kept going for him. No clue why.
They are scary in the parks I think....just awesome at the beach though.

Wishing you a wonderful Saturday morning love.
You too dear Steely.
And Dee of course. s ❤️
