Finally finished the cage to keep the lemon tree safe from wildlife. We're optimistic! The old set up wasn't secure enough and the possums got to it a few months ago 😭

I can't wait for home grown tomatoes. Our forecast is for possible snow on the mountain. It'll still be 16⁰C down here near sea level, but the tomato plants haven't really grown much, poor things. Our veg gardening is limited by the wildlife 😂

Lovely young man Josh gave us a tour of Derwent Valley Fungi and we got a couple of kits to start our mushroom growing experiment. Great small local business at Granton near Hobart, if you want gourmet mushrooms for Christmas or kits as gifts!

Good morning from Snug, Tasmania. The water was warmer than the air today. No seals or sharks, just Morag the dog shivering after her recent haircut.

Progress on the weaving, working on getting more even edges. Not sure Mimi will be that bothered by what her blanket edges look like, luckily 😂

The water is now 13⁰C so I've ditched the warm swim shorts but I'll keep the vest, bootees and gloves for a little longer. And even though I swim before breakfast I wear a hat 😂. Proper granny swim attire. No seals today! Just lots of tiny translucent fish.

Very lucky to pick up a loom second hand. I have mum's stash of yarn (she's retired from knitting) and my own plus some handspun wool from my MIL so we'll see how we go! This first try will be a little blanket for my daughter's geriatric cat. Setting everything up was tricky but I'm getting there!

Afternoon and evening at Snug Haus, rainbows followed by a wallaby mum with pouch baby in the paddock. ❤️

Summer vibes at Snug Haus yesterday, the iris and other blue flowers looking pretty around our little bnb cottage. Cool change last night and misty views today.

Was enjoying my quiet Sunday morning swim when a large, farm shape appeared underwater between me and the shore.

Day with my grandson yesterday, he was intrigued by the cabbage patch baby I got and dressed for him. Lots of fun, we raced around the sofa, played on the deck, had curry for lunch and went for a walk. I slept well after that 😂.
Cool calm swim this morning. Tomato planting day!

The sky's being a real drama queen today, we've had everything from hail to rain to sun. In the last ten minutes 😂. Must be spring in Tasmania!
