I have not posted for too long a time = I am a slack blogger. However, although the blog has been neglected, it was never forgotten. Just a break in transmission ... again.

Hello again everyone!
Hope you are all well on this beautiful autumn morning – blue skies and
11 deg.C here. I have still been
following a lot of blogs and getting inspiration from all. However, the realization that it had been
some time since I blogged hit when I noticed on my morning stroll to feed the
hens that the coffee trees were ripening.
Does anyone recall this post about coffee trees from August last year? Well time has moved almost full circle and the coffee beans are just starting to ripen
again. I apologise that I don’t have a
current photo. I’ll try for one tomorrow
– having camera problems today (which I hope to rectify soon). This photo is from last year.
The beans do look lovely and once again I’m inspired to do
something with them. Actually there
might be a lot more activity around the place soon. This is the time of year when I feel like I
come out of ‘hibernation’ though in my case it is summer hibernation. I only really feel like doing things once the
temperature starts to drop a little.
Anyone else like that I wonder?
I do wonder (quite often) why we are still living in hot
tropical SE Qld and often dream of cooler climes. However, it seems that I am the only one in
our little family who feels this way, so I’m always outvoted!! I know I shouldn’t complain as we don’t do
too badly really in terms of a temperate climate.
Changes will possibly happen in the next few years though as
husband creeps slowly closer to thinking about retiring, and son finishing
school (this year cripes!). We will
maybe travel or do something different.
However, in the meantime, a rundown of what has been happening.......
I guess the most relevant is that I have just resigned my
job. Regular readers may remember that I
was offered a job on an ongoing basis, out of the blue, from an employer who I
worked for some years back. It was a
wonderful, most generous offer, which I really appreciated.
However, it was not without drawbacks. The major one being a 2hr commute each way
which found me leaving home @ 6.45am and returning 6.45pm. The second drawback was a rather toxic person who
I had to work with directly. Won’t go into details, but suffice to say that in
my (fairly lengthy) career, she would be a standout. Not good to be around at all.
So I have to finalise things next week with handover to the
next poor sucker person to take over my role. Life is too short! I don’t have time to deal with
negativity. Onwards and upwards I think –
and hopefully something else will present itself. I’m looking forward with positivity anyhow. The job certainly served its purpose, we
caught up with more than a few outstanding $$ issues, and I now a more updated
resume.
On the home front, the produce is starting to come into full
swing. Hope to have some photos for show
and tell. We have some lovely bananas
coming along, citrus orchard looking good and some pumpkins harvested. The winter veggie garden is in progress too.
So I’m feeling very happy and positive about things on this
lovely blue-skied day. Thanks for
keeping up with me along the way. Thanks
too to some new followers – amazing. I’m
thrilled to have a few more, the more the better – it might get me blogging
more often!!
PS _ having an almost 17 year is scary great isn’t it? Son is now being driven to school by other
various friends who already have their licence,
He goes for his test in early July.
Had to smile though - tonight we have to collect him from the movies.....
‘but it’s NOT a date Mum!’. I think I can remember saying almost the same
thing, back in the day.

Did anyone notice that I managed to get through the post
without mentioning decluttering (or lack thereof)!
Cheers for now
Wendy
