Oh so lonely..

The puppies have all gone to new homes now.  It was very teary this time as they have been with us much longer then the other litters.  I hope they will be happy and healthy in thier new homes.

Since I have had a couple of days off work, I have started to seriously clean the house up.  It hasn't had a really good clean since we moved in which is sad really.  I started under the house, which required moving everything around to clean the cement then moving it into place again so I could do the next bit.  While doing this I took the oppurtunity to rearange our belongings down there.  I finished it off today and I feel like I have really achieved something!

I am loving my new ride on mower! wow it is sooo much easier to mow the yard.  I mowed again today and It was just so easy.  It unfortuantely did not help with the small gully down one side (There is no gutter there, I wish there was but it is a gully)  It was really long and unmanageable so I got out today and it took a couple of hours with the wipper snipper getting the grass all down.  It has made the yard look really good.  I got out with some round up and  sprayed it on the bindi's in the yard.  There seems to be an explosion of them since the rain.  I hope that kills them off as I don't like the thought of pulling them all out by hand.

I have manged to do some refashioning over the week and created a pair of very pretty fingerless gloves.  they are purple stripes, quite long and cover the wrist which will be handy.  I am aiming to make a scarf with the remaining fabric from the shirt.  I have another old purple shirt there that I might alternate with the stripy shirt.  Will have to wait and see what happens.  Here is a photo of the gloves!
