You can never have enough...

morning ladies More rain... this is getting a tad repetitive!

We are lucky we have gravel, rather than concrete around the back of the house so water drains away quickly, even the bigger puddles that we have every so often. Our small rain water tank is overflowing, we use this tank for the garden over summer.

Today I want to plant some gerberas into pots and do a bit more weeding along the roadside, weather permitting. Might as well make the use of the softer soil, it's much easier weeding when it is wet. And it won't be long before the ground is too cold to work with.

Another mouse has been trapped, I guess they are looking for shelter with all this rain.

I saw Camilla had her rescue dogs embroidered onto her gown The Royal School of Needlework id all the embroidery I have their book and use it all the time. It's my go-to when wanting to learn something new or refresh my memory.

Yesterday on FB our council posted the draft copy for the next lot of rate increases. The AVERAGE rate increase will be 19.80%. Some will be paying well over 22%. How on earth are we meant to find that extra $$$ on top of all the other increases. Us rural folk won't have a huge increase as we don't use a lot of the services like rubbish pick up and water but it will still be a reasonable sized one. There is outrage on FB, I just hope that translates into letting the council know officially what they think.

Time to get cracking, there is no rain so I can plant those gerberas.

Happy crafting
