You were very inspiring. I have also just received your book (as a gift - I had hinted at) I love it. Congratulations, it is a credit to you. It is the perfect book for me right now, as I adjust life, a little bit each day to a slower and simpler life. I spent a rainy Saturday afternoon putting together a housekeeping journal (a work in progress) - now why hadn't I thought of that!<br /><br />Thanks for your inspiration.monkeemoomoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384928241028245857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-27923074357347002442012-06-05T18:29:05.419+10:002012-06-05T18:29:05.419+10:00Sounds like you're very busy Rhonda.

I remember coffee percolators as a child and Mum used to have ours perking in the morning and it filled the kitchen with it's warm smell and we used to watch the coffee perk up into the glass bowl at the top and amuse ourselves by guessing when the next perk would fill the bowl. A bit of harmless time wasting on a Winter morning.<br />Cheers,<br />RobynRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-15430424522730961792012-06-05T04:08:14.777+10:002012-06-05T04:08:14.777+10:00Hi Rhonda,

I'd love to start a blog to keep our family updated, but I have no idea where to start. Is it possible to record and then post your Blogging for Beginners workshop? (I recently did a book repair workshop, and I was able to film it with my digital video camera and then upload it to YouTube. We then embedded it to a website: http://www.bcla.bc.ca/LTAIG/page/book%20repair%20workshop.aspx so I can share it with the world)<br /><br />Thanks Rhonda!

I agree re tea leaves vs bag (my Grandma always could tell if you tried to cheat and rip a bag lol). I only use leaves and proper tea pots and the pots can go for ages (if you take out the infuser about two minutes after you put the water in and set it aside it can be re-used more often than if you let it sit in there and stew).

Two of the chooks though haven't laid in 6 months so my husband and I got two new younger chooks yesterday and put them all together in their pen last night - this morning the older chooks were at one end of the garden (they free range) and the new chooks were hiding behind the raised vegie bed. Have you got any suggestions for integrating the new and older chookies? <br />MayaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-37734495081983709182012-06-04T09:15:18.729+10:002012-06-04T09:15:18.729+10:00Glad that Hanno is feeling better.

It's nice to hear he's on the mend as backs can often be troublesome for awhile, so make sure he takes it slowly (which I'm sure you would anyway..... sorry, it's the nurse in me). The new venture sounds great... more new skills for me to learn. They say that a child learns more in the first two years of it's life than it does in the rest of it's life..... well, I reckon I'm giving any 2 yr old a run for their money because I'm learning heaps & can't get enough of it. To get to your workshops at Maleny will be a pleasant drive for me.... not too far. I look forward to it.....

That is just the way it feels for me with my husband. I'm doing some casual work at the moment, and one of the things I miss most because I'm not there at home as much is just being with my man. We don't have to be doing the same things, but just being in the same space and chatting, and helping if needed, is wonderful.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing the fruits of your new endeavours.justjoyfulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-57304576464999111452012-06-04T08:23:19.390+10:002012-06-04T08:23:19.390+10:00Good morning Rhonda,

I would see if you can hold her now. don't rush in and grab her, just go in, talk quietly, see if you can stroke her and then pick her up. Chooks often die of fright up to a day after trauma, but maybe, if her wounds aren't so bad, and you can keep her quiet in a nest box by herself, with water and food close by, she may recover. I wouldn't put her down unless she is really badly injured. Good luck, love.<br /><br />We lost one of our Barnevelders last night. She had died during the night and was under the roosts when I went out there early this morning. :- (rhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-58838041922536321352012-06-04T07:28:37.883+10:002012-06-04T07:28:37.883+10:00Hi everyone, thank you for your kindness and for l...Hi everyone, thank you for your kindness and for letting me know the problems you're having with the new layout.
