And they're off

"Money to me had always been merely something the sheep used to show each other how wonderful they were."

Jeff Lindsay

Long time readers will see the cyclic nature of the blog today - yes, it's shearing time again! The added bonus is lice and worm treatment resulting in some trendy racing stripes for the ruminants. It only cost a few coins from the purse and now we have some fresh faced young animals gamboling about the place and itching less - nice use of discretionary funds!

We are not amused

And even though we realise that the electronics stuff has now branched off to another blog and channel, you may be interested to see the outcome of the "grow light" experiment - which seems to have resulted in some succulent shoots that have popped in part due to the last energy sucked out of "dead" batteries.

Nice result from the erg harvester

Hay, Fever, leave them kids alone

Nor rural sights alone, but rural sounds exhilarate the spirit, and restore the tone of languid nature.

William Cowper

Wow we love the garden at the moment - and as hay fever sufferers we hate it as well. The flowers are going nuts and we need to mow the lawn every fifteen minutes.

What's really noticeable is the birdsong - the little blighters are in full voice and it's pretty impressive.

Captain of the bathtub

As soon as I get on my boat, something inside me changes. Then I really feel what living is.

Laura Dekker

Kym has been spending some time at home recently which has been great for the puppies. The weather has cooperated nicely (spring flower pics to follow), and when not cavorting about in the paddocks and taking over the sheep's "boat", we've even been out to the beach to connect once again with the cleansing properties of the ocean. Damn cold - but lovely.

Oh dear

Still cute after all these years

Chasing electrons?

"The individual does actually carry on a double existence: one designed to serve his own purposes and another as a link in a chain, in which he serves against, or at any rate without, any volition of his own."

Sigmund Freud

For those readers wondering what the hell happened to all the electronics posts - this is a very quick reminder that you will find your fix at the onecircuit blog and the onecircuit youtube channel. This week you will find out about the QX5252 (with a twist).

Mmmm - nice little circuit

In the meantime here is a quick picture of the forest floor down past Geeveston we took last week. See you on the other side...
