Upon exiting the shower we were greeted with a shocking scene. Sheets peeled back. Ass on pillow. How would we ever recover from the great enstinkening?

Apparently I don't get a seat to myself now. Something to get used to I guess...

I just brought this ball of joy back from the RSPCA for my sons. We took a good time to find her. English Mastif cross. So far, at 3 months, she likes carrots and snuggling. She'll be giant and slobbery. Our first family dog 🙂

Spring Flower Collection for the last weeks in #Australia. I've added Blue Flax Lilly berries [Dianella caerulea] since they are as pretty as #Flowers.

The below statue was given to me by my father-in-law. I don't know its origin, but it speaks loudly.
It sits below my monitor as a reminder of the current moment. I think it captures how I, and many others are feeling.

Solar Mills are already very much a thing. I don't want to advertise a particular brand, but type 'solar mills' into your preferred search engine and you will find. There are a lot of small scale versions, but they range up to commercial scale
Thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole. Cool, man

The resulting Wheat Berries after processing. Can be used in food as is, or ground into whole wheat flour.

Winter Wheat grown in Empire Bay, Australia. Will do more next year since it grew really well. Potatoes struggle here due to humidity and rain levels and take a lot of effort. Wheat grows like a weed. Much easier to grow, but maybe not the most useful food in a home garden...
