It's always a relief to have that taken cared of, as immediately as possible. It's always a good deal, anyway you put it. An even better deal if you did it with pristine quality for a reasonable price. Thanks for sharing that, Liz! All the best to you!<br /><br /><a href="http://sheltonroof.blogspot.com/2014/08/roofing-contractor-in-menlo-park-can.html" rel="nofollow">Pleasance Faast @ Shelton Roof</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911443247599250663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-79363782835466449602015-01-13T14:20:29.878+10:002015-01-13T14:20:29.878+10:00Thats a lovely new house - I so love finding paint...Thats a lovely new house - I so love finding paint colours and working out schemes for rooms and houses! SO much fun! And I admire your strength in not purchasing books - something I just couldn't commit to! Not only do I love second hand books and bring lots of them home but I also can't pass up any on topics that I happen to be interested in at the time!! Yes, it is a dilemma!! Lovely to see what you have been up to up there in the hot dry country!

New house looks very nice, I so sympathize about the books, I am pretty sure that is the only reason my hubby ever threatened divorce is when we moved and he found out how many boxes of books I actually had! Take a breather I am tired just reading all you have done!

Not sure it will get you anywhere though. We have lots of new people around here these days from Melbourne. When driving, everyone used to wave at passing cars but it's happening less and less as the new folk drive past firmly ignoring you.

My husband likes them, and he doesn't eat many the crazy things I make! <br /><br />The eggs are still in an incubator, but on the really hot days they can get too hot, so the air con on hot days is just to assist with temperature control. It really does seem to require very precise control, amazing what a mama hen does without thinking requires so much technology for us to achieve!

Do they taste different? Its interesting read that you are trying to keep your incubated eggs cool in the UK we have to use heated incubators to keep them warm!sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-45885492906721618312015-01-07T20:21:43.952+10:002015-01-07T20:21:43.952+10:00Wow Liz you have been really busy.

I have Dick Smith’s book “Population Crisis” in my library too. Gosh it was an eye opener, I really need to read it again. Woodgate beach is a lovely spot, have you taken the drive to Coonar beach? It’s not all that far from Woodgate about an hour away. Some days you can walk the stretch of beach and not see anyone. It’s magic.
