And the other one! She's exhausted as well. I am squished between them.

Someone had a big day at daycare today. #Dogsofbluesky

Wow! That took me longer than I thought. It took an hour. Plus I'd already washed it early this morning. You can't tell in the photos because of the shadows

Lunchtime! I'm going to oil my deck.

Oiled the brand new deck at my son's house today. I couldn't let this perfect weather slip by.

I'm still reporting them to ACCC. I can get a delivery from another garden supply for only $20.

Update on this. I rang the company they were apologetic but explained they are charging it on every purchase! They acknowledged it should have been disclosed beforehand. Set the competitors are doing the same. I said they are not as we are redoing a garden using different suppliers and no charge.

Yay! Seeing @kirstywebeck.bsky.social soon. Anyone else going to be there?

I just checked laws. They can charge a levy but it must be disclosed before purchase (it wasn't) and not excessive (it was). It was an in stock item. I'll be reporting through ACCC if they don't refund it. According to ACCC rules they have not been transparent about the levy. I'm so, so mad!!!

I am furious. Bought items at the garden supply place this afternoon. Hubby paid, tapped his card, didn't look. I just checked. $24.70 fuel levy! For an item we went in store to buy! I'll be ringing on Monday to get a refund. What a cheek! I'm also mad at hubby! I was outside. He never checks!

I had a big day but happy with all I achieved. I was the only woman at the tip! I planted about 35 small plants. The dogs had a good time out in the garden all day with me. Hubby got there about 1.45pm with pork rolls for lunch.

Hoping take a load of old timber fencing to the tip tomorrow, then plant more plants. And pick up some rocks for the garden from a yoga friend who has spare ones. Hubby's working.

Technically it's a shampoo bar. You lather like soap in your hands and wash your hair.

It's a bit icy today, Melbourne!

The hairdresser used this shampoo & conditioner soap on my hair today. She is really liking it. My head does feel softer. It is a lot less expensive than liquid shampoo & conditioner. I will buy some next time but I have full bottles of what I normally use. It's called Cooki.

I was at my desk all day yesterday to around 9pm. The dogs missed out on cuddles. They are wanting to make up for it this morning. But I do need to start work. #Dogsofbluesky

Folks, sort your super fund binding nominations. I know of others who have personal experience with these issues. www.news.com.au/finance/supe...

My SIL has two puppies left. They go to their new homes on Thursday. Cuteness overload!!

I've just had 20 tubes of Lomandra 'Little Con' delivered. They don't look like much, but they will grow!

Filled my cup over the weekend. 2 nights at my friend's house just chatting about nothing, puppy cuddling, comedy show & dinner with my husband, topped off by 8.5 hrs of sleep-in a row- on fresh sheets. I really needed that.

8.5 hrs sleep! Don't be jealous!

Saw Kitty Flanagan tonight as part of MICF. It was a good show. We had an early dinner beforehand. We shared a platter then I had a mussel soup. It was very nice.

It will warm up this weekend because I put the winter doona on and the electric blanket.

I've got the electric blanket on! It's a bit chilly in regional Victoria.

Puppy therapy!

Rosie has a new friend.

This should be your job, @crowbar.wtf you'd be perfect! Check out this amazing holiday... luxuryescapes.com/tour/tour-de...

I've just finished watching the concert of season 2 of The Piano. So many tears! If you want to see the good in the world then watch this show on iView.

Did the house smell good this morning? @sueysueysuey.bsky.social

My 'work son' has just resigned. I'm devastated. He'll be a big loss. He's going on to further study which is great for him, but sad for us!

Seems like my laptop wants another day off work!

3 dogs together on the bed. It's torture for Pippa! A few yrs ago we would never have been able to do this. #Dogsofbluesky

This was very tasty. It was very light. Not overly sweet.

The puppies have all been sold. The first one goes to it's new home tomorrow. Amazing how much they grow in 8 weeks.

A little burnt on the some of the edges but should be ok. Pistachio pear tart from Recipe Tin Eats.

Typical stepson couldn't organise himself if his life depended on it. Up at 6.30 starting the slow cooker, shopping done with a ton of potatoes and now 2 less for dinner. Looks like plenty of leftovers! Hubby is very cross.

I love the bark of this gum.

I'm waiting for a script. I'm sure the guy next to me just farted before he got up to collect his script.

Last night's episode of The Piano was very sad. There was a lot of tears from me.

The rain overnight and this mornimg is exactly what our new plants needed. It settles the dust in the mulch as well.

Nothing like a bit of surgery first thing in the morning.

Morning! Up early getting a lamb leg in the slow cooker. Hubby's gone to get his saw. The bone's a bit long!

A few hours work this morning and that was us done! We need to get a few more garden rocks and a lot of plants! Large path will be redone next year! Laying turf in a few weeks. It's been an exhausting, yet satisfying few days.

It's a glorious day out there today, Melbourne. More gardening for us!

Lots more plants to plant tomorrow.

Rest day today. Surprisingly I can still walk. Foot strapping and an extra support sleeve worked. Back at it tomorrow.

In the new front garden yesterday, teaching dogs to not get overly excited whenever someone walks past. A young family comes by, son and I talking calmy to dogs, the dad looks at them, smirks, then makes a mocking barking noise. I glared and said I wouldn't do that if I were you. #Nodickheads

2 more garden beds planted and mulched by me. Hubby and son are putting in screens.

Another garden bed planted and mulched. 12m long, 19 plants

Perfecto!
