morning ladies 
A gorgeous autum day on the cards here, I must turn the hose onto the garden today. Omg it was cold last night! We had the duvet on for the first time since the beginning of summer. And MrK has 'officially' reset the heat pump to warm and the the ceiling fan to spin in the opposite direction to push the warmth down.
A lively, spirited debate about pensions going on here! It's great we have differences, it would be a boring world if we didn't. I for one, am very grateful for the winter energy payment and use it for what it was intended for. We pay our power bill fortnightly and top it up to clear it when the bill comes in. I increase that fortnightly payment by the amount of the winter energy payment and it makes a huge difference. And now the low user 'discounts' are being discontinued, our power bill be up even more. No wonder we looked around for a cheaper company.
Yesterday I gave my body a damed good workout in the garden. MrK put the old corn husker onto a new post and it's now in it's permanent position. The last spot it was in was supposed to be temporary but 10 years later... lol. Anyhoo, I dug some more holes and and am using the old post as well as some old totara fence post as tall as me to support the bossy dahlias. They look like totem poles lol but with the dahlias growing so tall, they needed something solid to support them. And now I have a 'new' garden to play around with I can spread plants out more. I'm going to shuffle things around to see what space I really have. Two more posts to put in today and a couple of smallish plants to move and some annuals to pull out.
The Furry One 'did his business' yesterday so we are hoping *crosses fingers* everything is OK. He seems happy enough and was happy to hunt out a rat in the shed under the rainwater water tank yesterday. Now I know where the buggar is camping I can set bait safely in there. The only way the Furry One can get in there is if we open the door.
Time to get cranked up, loads to do today
happy crafting
