A Day In My Life

I've decided to participate in Little Jenny Wrens A Day In My Life which I am excited about. I find I am enjoying the time I spend on the computer and working on my blog so off we go to see how the day went.


After a good nights sleep I was up at 6am and welcomed the three little ones (dogs) that are scattered around our room in their beds and let them outside. I left Dave for a sleep in and went to do my morning chores. I greeted the two bigger dogs outside and gave the cats their biscuits.
The day was going to be a scorcher to I changed the chooks water and fed them. Some of the hens are sitting on eggs so I checked them also to see if any have hatched.



I gave the garden a good watering and checked the peach tree which is nearly ready to be picked. Dave was now up and was watering the front yard plants. I popped inside to put the porridge on and finished helping Dave with watering. We have a huge dam up in the top paddock and the water is gravity fed which is good to be able to do extra watering on these hot days.

Time to go inside and have breakfast together, after tidying the kitchen I was off to get ready for work. I help Dave load my truck with a cupboard that I was going to deliver today for a customer. It was water damaged and needed to be repaired and stained a job which we don't normally do but the customers were very nice a appreciative. Anyway I delivered that in the morning and the customer was very happy and thankful.


I Opened up the shop for business and made a few phone calls did a bit of book work and general duties. The day was heating up and the fan was just moving the warm air around. Because the day was in the high 30's the shop was a bit quiet so I did a bit of work on my blog which is always fun.

.

The local council worked all day in that heat wave doing the road works on the round about. It was so hot I felt sorry for them.




This truck below was trying to maneuver around but was having a bit of difficulty. Having the shop on the corner I see a lot of things happen and many wide and really large loaded trucks go through. We have a few mines around us and some times they haul the really extra large dozers and machinery they use at the mines through the round about and it is just amazing looking at the enormity of them.


I usually take my lunch to work and today I had home grown roast beef on a wholemeal roll with homemade pickles and homegrown cucumber and of course a cup of coffee. Yummy!



After a long hot day I closed the shop at about 5pm went to visit my daughter who was staying in town with a friend for a catch up and a hug then I was off to fill up my water bottles for home.
There is a water main in town for people to fill up from and I usually fill up once a week, this water I use for my washing machine. It doesn't take long to fill up and I'm off home which is a 54km drive on dirt and tar roads.



It was good to get home and relax in the coolness of the house and put my feet up for a few minutes. Dave and I wandered around outside in the coolness of the night and a light breeze was starting to blow the temperature was still 30 degrees. We had a light dinner, I made Dave toasted roast beef sandwiches and I had boiled eggs.
We decided to give the dogs a bath they were hot and bothered and a little on the nose. I have a hose in the shower so I washed them and Dave rubbed them down, there were smiley faces everywhere :)

A nice cup of tea on the lounge, a little bit of TV to unwind then it was off to bed
