WUNDERLI WANDERINGS

Our chickens are now starting the process of laying eggs and the photo above is the first egg that was laid today. :) We have 16 chickens so we are expecting quite a few eggs from them this week However, our wee furry friend is also interested in our feathered friends.  She stands by the gate hoping that she can get in and cause mayhem.  Unlike our other dog, Chewy, who didn't bother the chickens Sox would eat them all given the chance.  They won't be able to wander round our garden like the last batch but still have plenty of space where they are.

Last week we were had some electricity problems and then they were magnified when a storm came through one night.  We think there was a power surge of some sort as different things were fried and not working properly anymore.  Simon worked hard last week to sort out the problem.  So blessed to have a practical husband.  Our microwave seems to be still only be working at half power and our generator is being fixed as I write.  Below you will see some picture of other things that have seen better days. This is our circuit breaker box which wasn't very happy.  Simon did a bit of rewiring in here to make it right again. We needed to get a new stabiliser.  However, that went back to the shop today as it gave off a burning smell last night and we were getting shocks off of taps in the bathroom. Our old one was boosting the power too high for some reason.  I put the light on in the bedroom and the bathroom and the bulbs both blew.  The l...

On Christmas Day Joshua hurt his hand on the slip and slide.  It was swollen pretty badly but we thought it was just a bad sprain.  He also hurt it once he went back to school whilst playing tag rugby.  That was enough for Mum to say its time to have it checked at the clinic.  The Doctor suggested an x-ray so off we went to the x-ray room.  Joshua came out saying that the Doctor told him to tell me that it was "busticated".  Joshua thought that was pretty funny.  Anyway it was a clean break of the middle finger.  Thankfully, the finger bones on both sides of it have helped support it as well as the fibers that have been growing around it.  I was expecting him to be in plaster but the Doctor said that he just needs to be careful with it and should be fine in a few weeks and back to normal in a year!!!!  How do you keep an active boy down???? He is now wearing the support brace that I used before Christmas when I sprained my wrist playin...

I am not sure where December went but it seemed to go by in a blur.  Thankfully we took some photos of our time so that we could remember what we were up to :)  Not everything is displayed below but it gives you a snapshot. Our Christmas celebrations started with a cookie party hosted by friends of ours, Mike and Sharol Shutts.  This is the second year we have got together and is becoming a tradition.  The kids sure had enough sugar that day and a lot of fun.   Event the adults were getting involved in the creativity of cookie decorating Then it was games in the garden with huge party poppers.   It was a good choice to have it outside as the garden was covered in sparkly paper and tinsel by the end. This is the Sunday before Christmas where the kids ministry sang some songs for the congregation.  It was quite the celebration together with lots of good things to eat and drink.   Joshua has been learning guit...
