good on you dad

gee fussy about the campa van

23 - yup still a kid - still like to need you

my 25 year old loves coming to visit mum and taking back to his flat a bag packed with homemade bread, garden veggies & eggs

his girlfriend giggles when she sees him asking if there's any spare bread in the freezer

HeHeHe
Every time my kids come out for a visit they normally stay overnight as I refuse to let them get behind the wheel even if they have only had 1 beer and I always send them back with a full esky of food from my freezers when they head off the next day

they'd eat us if we didn't runaway!! ha ha

Feeding chooks barefoot is asking for it (not that I would have any personal experience of course!) :dodgy:

yep yep
they chase the hubby as he is such a queenslander and always barefoot in the backyard (ex the recent frosts! that has slowed him down)

[autocoupler]

gee auto -I haven't seen a backyard chopping block for years
or a home incinerator

reckon if I set up a chopping block miss Gracie would be pumping out the eggs! ha ha

So true RG, I miss the family wood cutting picnics in the state forest which was all legal at the time for the cost of a $10 permit, although I notice many people still do burn wood for heating, and it's interesting to watch the axe swinging styles.

I think miss Gracie knows you're a bluffer :angel:

my mum had a scar straight down 1/3 of the middle of her index finger
when she was a kid she points her finger to the block of wood with my younger uncle holding the axe
" hit it here Keith "

he did

...... good aim and a sharp axe head

[robbiegal]

thanks for the chook advice folks
between the roasting pan threat and ......
because i have opened up the pen and the girls are digging up my veggie gardens for me in preparation for summer, Dame Graciela has been in receipt of bits of rump steak & sirloin steak as well as a bit more bacon and eggs (they love that on Saturdays)

brown egg production seems to have resumed with as of yesterday

(no - i didn't drop the precious egg this  morning did i? quick whip up for a carrot cake currently in the baking pan!!)

I use to feed my hens everything except for eggs and egg shells, they'll eat pretty much anything and everything and makes sure they get corn for nice yellow yokes. Oh and sand is good
Egg shell are for the stag and elkhorns and birdsnest like them as well.

I use to feed my hens everything except for eggs and egg shells,

Yep, feeding the chooks eggs doesn't end well.

A bit of shell grit helps too.

The keyboard on my old  laptop started to play silly buggers last night and then it just went Kaput :cray:
Luckily I took out the extra years warranty and have had to have it sent away for repairs, Buggered if I know if they can replace a keyboard on a laptop though.
I was told it will take a few weeks before I get it back so I bought a new laptop and have spent the morning setting it up the way that I want it.  
Bloody computers :dash1:

[robbiegal]

the hubby had laptop issues and they were never really fixed
by the time they stuffed around it was out of warranty and he went and bought a new one


snow in the backyard this morning here
i did some work in the garden this afternoon
bloody cold  as - kept my good leather gloves on the whole time

weatherzone says it's 4.8 but feels like 0.9 - I agree

[ausjack]

It's not really old if it still has warranty is it :scratch_one-s_head: Just give it to one of the grandies when/if you get it back :good:

You can keep that RG, that's beyond a joke and just way too cold for me brrrr..getting down to two degree is enough for me, actually too much for me

[trout]

The new lappy  is a bit faster than the old one anyway.
When I get the old one back I will just keep it as a spare for when this new one bites the dust :angel:

Here I was thinking it was cold here But SNOW, Bugger that RG.

[ausjack]

Shoot it :laugh2:

Cold here in Perth today too.
-1.7C in my area. Had to scrape ice
off the windscreen. Nearly froze my
little fingers. No snow though.

[robbiegal]
