A Direction in Life Leads to a Direction of the Blog
I am quite proud of the convergance of my gardening and blog life. Both are bearing fruit, pardon the pun. Clearly the new life direction has lead to the reinvoration of both me and this site. That is clear with the blog counts for December being at the highest level since the conversion to WordPress back in February 2007. I also have a number of additional blogs at least planned for the next few days.
I am still a stress monkey but I can feel that tension release a little bit each day. I expect that to be largely released by Christmas and I am looking forward to consuming my 5 litres of Heineken, or if I am lucky one or two of the 1.5 litres bottles of Grolsch. The Grolsch is coming courtesy of a rewards scheme at work, one of the advantages of working for a large company. Also coming courtesy of that same scheme is a Ryobi garden shredder, expect a blog on that once it arrives. Also, back to the beer, I intend on tasting several Western Australian brewed beers from Little Creatures and Matilda Bay. I feel a trip to BWS coming on.
I am really enjoying my time in the outdoors, somewhere that until recently that I spent a sparse amount of time. The only thing I am not enjoying is spending that time putting up with the neighbours semi-wild cats. I did get some cat deterrent chemicals from Bunnings on the weekend that will be spread soon. I have also decided that I will be purchasing 1 x CATWatch unit from fauNature. I will be purchasing that soon, perhaps a little after the Christmas break.
Apparently 2 of the felines were playing on our porch this morning. As such I sprinkled the Multicrop Skedaddle Dog and Cat Deterrent Granules around both the front and back yards. The granules are filled with natural oramatic oils that cats find offensive. I dare say it is a mix of those oils that the RSPCA advised me to spray around the yard. Anyway 500g of the granules is now distributed in the main areas of the infestation. Hopefully I will see less of the pests in our yard in the coming days. I will keep you posted on the success or otherwise of this product. My yard certainly is a great test bed for these products.
Finally, and as promised here are some photos of My Blooming Lot.
OK, that is it for now.
Addendum
My 2 x 1.5 litre Grolsch beer magnums arrived today (19/12). Very impressed with that. I was effectively 2.5 business days from order to goods being received.
