Middle of the week yeah!!

Well it's official. I made it half way through my first week back after the holidays. Work has been ok though today has been testing as I've been told my job is changing. It's not for a while so I'll keep my head down and earning those pennies until I'm told otherwise.

GH has been busy working on another piece of woodwork. This one was more testing than the first as the letters couldn't be completed the same way. It's all good learning for him though. I'm very impressed still.

The chickens are in full swing and are giving us an average of 4 a day. Egg recipes in the near future I think.

I'm trying to get myself up a bit earlier each morning. I'd love to class myself as a morning person but there's nothing I want more when I wake up than to nod back off to sleep! So with that in mind, I'm off to read a bit of poirot then sleep. Alarm at 6:00 rising at 6:10 maybe? Place your bets!

Doggy update (plus GH's woodwork starter pieces).

Can you see the size of my left ear? :(

Well Buddy has been to the vets and they said we're looking around £800 just for the draining of his ear.  That's not a fee we're prepared to pay for an operation that isn't guaranteed to return, nor is a life saver operation.  So back to home remedies and managing this ourselves with a little bit of help from daily steroids for him.  So today I have paid out £42 for steroids and a vet check up. 

In the mean time GH has bought himself a scroll saw and has been practicing on some items to keep the kids happy.  Hopefully we can end up making a few pounds on this once he manages well.  Not bad for a first attempt?
