The Wet Season Commeth

As the title suggests the weather up here has turned rather early. Some suggest an early start to the wet! It has been fairly bad over the last couple of weeks, cold nights, rain all day and night. Nothing gets dry, towels etc, bloody awful.
Never mind, woke up with a heart beat so all is good. Poor Misty didn’t like Fae much last week, she took her to the vet to get desexed!! Bad day. I however got in her good books by rescuing her from the nasty vet the next day, Yeehh for dad!!!
Poor little thing, had half of her belly shaved and none to happy about it either. She would settle, only to leap into the air as the ends of the stiches jabbed on some thing or other. Still she will settle down and save us a bit of grief further down the track with the male dogs.
Slowly, very slowly we are getting down to the essentials we need to take, and working out still more weight savings on stuff we wont need.
Fae purchased a new Backarat pressure cooker the other day. Very good brand at a very good price too!. We had one when we first got married nearly 40 years ago, it did not last very long and I still remember the pea soup hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen! She vowed never to have another one until our friends had lunch prepared in around 30 mins with one the other day. Fae has used it a few times now and is sold on the fact you only need one pot and it is very fast. Corned Beef last night with veg in around 20 mins, not bad either.
Did I mention that there is only 5 ½ weeks to go :o)
Ok Folks stay safe
