Admitedly, we havn't been eating the best lately, because you guessed it, it's just too darn hot. The other morning, before dawn, we fired up the Webber and started a (beautiful, local, organic, free range and extremely scrumptious) pork roast. We ate it cold for days, which helped a great deal. |

Worm bath Mk2, Pearl Cottage style is a $10 gumtree bath find sitting on 4 blocks of concrete with pine lining lid. A coat of lime wash is experimental - if it comes off in the rain, I'll just have to paint it instead. I intend to build up some cob around the base to provide a bit of extra stability and temperature control, but for now it's a go, with a few handfuls of worms from our friend's farm, a little coir and a start of kitchen scraps.
And otherwise, we are, once again, both looking forward to some cooler weather and getting some more stuff done.
David came back from NSW (Army training) with a terrible virus thingy. Hung around for ages. It just drains you of energy. Not sure if we caught his, or if we were peculating our own QLD virus beforehand. Either way, slowed us down for a month or so.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys are feeling better soon. Glad the temps are starting to get milder too. :)
Thank you Chris! It's been so long since we've had any sickness, but thankfully it's mild-ish. The weather broke this morning, we have rain and cool temperatures!! Celebration time! :) This bug has no chance against my chicken soup! Feel like eating non-stop for a month. Ha.
DeleteGood idea to take the roast outside in those temperatures. We get like that, not interested in cooking when it is hot. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's partly that, and part is loosing my appetite as soon as the temperatures rise. I don't fully understand why.. I might ask Google! :)
