Pain or damage don’t end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man… and give some back.”

Geez i seem to have been out of touch for awhile, just seems to be a lot going on , well not that much maybe just excuses for lack of contact.

So for all the lack of contact I don’t really have a lot to report. Well we picked up half a dozen chucks the other day all be it what they call yearling’s poor scrawny looking chooks that have obviously been in a battery situation. They apparently will regain their feathers etc amazingly they have already given us a couple eggs a day!

Being spring the garden is on the go weve started to get all the the veggies in. We got some top soil yesterday for the new beds near the side gates. We will be planting the passion fruit plants and maybe some nice cottage garden wildflowers in the same beds.

I Have been watching a bit of the Olympics. It’s cool actually as we get the oz channel , 7 through the satellite, so we can compare the coverage with the kiwi one. The ozzies have really cleaned up and the kiwi cousins did ok. I like the way the commentators quickly recognise that the ozzie who won the medal was born in NZ or the kiwi who won trains in Oz!!

Anyway the marathon is on tv now so the Olympics must nearly be over and normal services will be resumed.

Ok moving on
