The Can't Be Bothereds

Sometimes I can't be bothered blogging, cleaning windows, sorting through the 'junk' room and so on and so forth. Am I alone in feeling this way although I doubt it? Anyone who blogs knows that first you have to take photos, then you have to resize them for a blog post and then you need to be lucid enough to think of something sensible to write while other bloggers seemingly have a mine of information in their heads to share with the world in each and every post. Not so in this little neck of the woods unfortunately. Most of the time it takes too much effort to turn on the PC to write a post as normally I am on the iPad which is much more convenient but sadly can't be used to write a Blogger post unless someone can inform me of a new App that has been designed for that purpose.

Anyway, I did accomplish something last week and finished off hand sewing the plaited strips of fabric together that I had left over ....

...from the bunting I made a while back. It was time consuming but I didn't think my sewing machine could cope with sewing the plaits together so I did it by hand but it would have been quicker to use the 'Toothbrush Rag Rug' technique. 

I discovered some guavas 'down the back'....

...but unfortunately so did the birds. 

A friend told me that some of the shelves in KMart were half empty so I had to take a look for myself...

...and she wasn't wrong. Perhaps the store was waiting for products that were in the containers that fell off the container ship a few weeks ago. The ship was on the way from China.

The Farmers' Market continues to grow with every man and his dog there on a Saturday morning it seems. The lady who sells the gerberas seems to have an endless supply of these lovely flowers. I just had a look at the market's Facebook page and found on there a link to these great ideas on Get Smart with your Scraps. 

The CEO found a tomato plant 'down the back' too ( all kinds of things can be found down there) and I had heard our local gardening guru Penny McKinlay say to put the tomatoes on a north facing window to ripen so gave it a try. Anyone who has heard Penny on the radio or seen her on Channel 7 local news would know what a character she is and she is worth listening to. 

A friend gave me a Eucharist Lily which is just beautiful. I read online that it is frost tender so have brought it inside while it is flowering. I had never heard of this plant before. 

Someone emailed me last week about 5 Road Trips to Bushfire Affected Areas which you might be interested in depending on where you live. At the moment our Queensland borders are closed and we will find out tomorrow if our Premier is going to open them to other states. As there is a spike in numbers of coronavirus infected residents in Victoria I am not sure that she will but she is under a lot of pressure to do so. Businesses are suffering badly so perhaps she will. Time will tell. 

I hope that everyone is keeping safe and well. I have been having a couple of issues with Blogger and at times can't comment in response to comments others have left although they are usually few and far between lately but I guess everyone is busy. My sidebar is taking ages to download for some reason and I put it down to Blogger making changes they have been warning about but other blogs seem to be downloading okay so I am not sure what the problem is. I have no idea what the Blogger changes will look like so will just have to wait and see as it looks like the changes are going to take place regardless. 

Have a great week!
