​I am please to say hubby had a good nights sleep and has woken up happy. 

You really cannot sleep in hospital 

Me? Well my sewing machine was being all kinds of mean. So i goggled different videos and went through every. From scratch. Elna 101. 

I have used it and I seem to have “ fixed” the problem. I did ring a sewing machine mechanic and he gave me some advice. 

If it continues to be a bugger it will be taken to the machine hospital to get looked at 

While I was doing all that, I had to look for a foot on the sewing machine. I thought I was short one. So I pull out the old bag I used to carry it to class. I looked in every pocket no luck. 

But I did find this 

Squares I’ve quilted to make a quilt as you go blanket 

I must of stored them in there when we had to pull down the old room and rebuild it again  

Knowing me, I probably thought that the next time I go to put the machine in there I would find them  

Obviously I’ve not used the bag 

There was also more fabric to use  

Also, the other day I was collecting quilts to be taken to the farm house and I found this 

I had started it to use up my odd balls and then totally forget about w

I’ve added a dozen rows to it in the last few days. It was a nice change from sewing. A bit of a holiday 

As for the EPP it’s coming along slowly but surely 

Now I have plenty to get on with. 

Should keep me out of trouble for a few weeks anyway 

​well the prisoner had been released. He was so eager to come home he waited out front for us 

My lovely friends once again picked me up and drove to the hospital to pick him up. 

I really do have the best friends 

He has come home with a bag full of medical supplies so I can clean and change the bandages 

He also has boxes of antibiotics to keep taking. 

If he is good and listens to all medical advice he should be alright. 

My work has now commenced. 

Lord help me. 

​hubby is staying another 24 hours in the hospital 

He is in extreme pain. He isn’t one to complain and never suffers from man flu, so if he says his in pain it will be really bad. The have heavily sedated him for now. 

Please keep him in your thoughts. Up until now I’ve not been worried but I am now 

​sorry no pictures today. Just information 

Hubby rang to say the surgeon had visited. She told him the  spur had gone in so far it had hit the knuckle bone. 

She also informed him that she is very confident that it’s all clean and that it shouldn’t get an infection. 

Still she wanted him to stay the extra night. 

Side note: 

When explaining what had happened to the various doctors who initially talked to him. Apparently there were five!

Not one of them knew what a spur was. 

They all pulled their phones out and googled it. 

Hubby then pointed out where the offending appendage was. 

It just goes to show. No matter who you are or how educated you may be. There is always something you can bring to the table and pass on  knowledge to others. 

Hopefully I can spring him tomorrow and he can come home 

​

This is our rooster. Hubby rescued him from a batch of hens that were delivered to an egg farm 

He was a lovely little fellow, until his hormones hit 

He is constantly trying to kill us. And no. I’m not being dramatic 

I will not go near him. Hubby has been doing all chicken related chores 

Yesterday, while I was out at the doctors 

This roo flew up and got hubby on his hand. He was filling the feed container for them. 

Apparently it hurt. Lots. 

His hand then blew up. Now when ever he gets hurt I have to drag him kicking and screaming to the doctors 

But not this time. 

The doctor looked at his hand, heard the story, and sent him off to the hospital. He went to our nearest one, Casey. But they weren’t able to deal with it, so he was sent to Dandy hospital 

They took one look at his hand, heard the story and admitted him

I have been to see him this morning, my lovely friends drove me because going there would have given me a massive anxiety attack. 

While we were there they took him into surgery. 

They will open it up, give it a good clean and put him on IV antibiotics 

He will be there for another two days. If there isn’t any sign of infection he will be let out. 

But

If there is they might have to get him back into surgery to give it another clean 

I will continue to update everyone. 

Chicken are definitely the great grandchildren of dinosaurs because this one thinks he’s huge and mighty 

Oh and to answer everyone’s question 

No hubby doesn’t want to “ dispatch’ the criminal. 

​no we aren’t moving. But some friends are. We spent Sunday helping them move out of their home. They want to down size 

Helping was basically putting boxes into a van to transport it all to where it will be stored until they find a place 

They’re going away for six weeks. So they’re not looking right now. They will stay with one of their children until they find what they like 

They have stored everything in  shipping container  those things can hold heaps 

Because they ate down sizing they wanted to get rid of a few things. 

They had a spare bed and a two seater sofa. 

They gifted them to us. They’re really lovely like that 

And today the hubby came with us to put them into the small house at the farm

It’s already made it feel more like home. 

We still have a second bedroom that needed a bed 

I got on Facebook marketplace and found one 15 minutes away for only $100.00

I contacted the seller and we have gone and purchased it 

Here is the mattress ready to go into the trailer. 

If only I knew. We would have put off taking the other things until tomorrow. 

Not that it matters. We will store it until we can take it down. 

While at the farm we could see and smell the smoke from the bushfires 

They are far enough away that we are not in imminent danger, but close enough that given the right conditions they could easily move them into our area. 

As we don’t live there, the only things we could lose are things  things can be replaced  unfortunately there are many families living in the area. hopefully the fires won’t spread but if they do, they gets lots of warning and are able to evacuate 

It’s a scary time in our state of Victoria  we have lots of bush areas  once fires take hold they are very hard to get under control 

Please send lots of love and prayers we need all the help we can get 

​even though mummy and daddy were home we still have grandma day. 

She knows it’s four days day care and then grandma 

It was extremely hot outside so it was definitely a stay indoors day 

She arrived later than usual, we all had sleep ins. 

So by the time she got here it was morning tea time 

Fruit and vegetables all cut and easy to eat  

Here they are watching television  Ana was patting Trixie because she had a little incident that made her yelp  

She was so gentle and showed more empathy than some adults I could name 

We did some cut and paste 

We jumped on grandpa 

And we also had a science experiment 

I had been searching how to grow crystals and got all the items we needed ready 

It looks like something is happening. I told Ana that tomorrow I’ll take a photo and send it to her mummy so she can see the progress. 

We found this bonnet while I was searching for the borax, I put it somewhere safe so if course I couldn’t find it straight away 

I told her I made it for her when she was a baby  she wanted to try it on 

I then found the old photo and showed it to her 

Still a cutie. 

Ana saw my patch work and wanted to see it  

We played I spy and had fun finding all the hidden pictures 

When mummy and daddy arrived to pick her up, we decided to have dinner together before they left 

That way grandma got lots of Georgia cuddles 

They have now gone home 

Everything has been put away and the lounge room is clean. 

Next Friday will be the first Friday I have both the girls 

It’s a trial run while mummy is still home. 

I can ring for support if I get “stuck”

I’m pretty confident that I’ll be ok. 

Well that’s the plan anyway
