I would LOVE that. Trouble is, the ones I can afford don't work for sh**t. I bought one that is supposed to take twigs up to about 2", but it really doesn't. And if the leaves are still green, they just bend and gum up the works. A good quality shredder is on my wish list. I have eucalyptus trees and I'd love to make my own eucalyptus mulch for enclosures.

I didn’t know you could use eucalyptus with the tortoises. For some reason I thought the oils where too strong. We have tons on our property! Thanks for the idea!

Good Evening Lena. Tomorrow and next week Tuesday are public holidays for us. So I have taken Monday off and am planning a nice long weekend. Yayyy. A few days break.

Yay! That’s nice after the hectic time you’ve had recently. It’s a public holiday here today too - The Great Prayer Day. What’s yours? :D

We have a public holiday on May 7 for May Day.

May Day is of course May 1, but the UK fixed the holiday as the first Monday in the month to simplify things or something.

I have just had a long session with my physio/osteo which was really good. Firstly she doesn’t think my pain is neurological (my biggest fear) ... and secondly she thinks I need to see a psychotherapist as she thinks my repeated back issues are invariably triggered by stress. Basically, she thinks I have lingering PTSD from the mess up round my operations 15 years ago.

She has a point. I was so disabled by the injury, the hospital first sent me away saying nothing was wrong and then when I did get to see a neurosurgeon who diagnosed the problem the first op didn’t fix it leading to a second op. I am constantly afraid that I will end up needing major surgery yet again. I will follow it up.

Meanwhile, she has recommended an active, but relaxed weekend. I’ll have both children home as it’s son’s birthday so they can pamper me :)

Active but relaxing weekends are always good for mind, body and soul. Fingers crossed for improvement.

Happy Friday all

We had some storms blow through here overnight. Our nice warm, sunny Thursday has changed into a dark, wet, cold Friday morning. But, yesterday’s warmth coupled with overnight rains have encouraged our Pink Dogwood to pop into color..

I am SO ENVIOUS that you have dogwoods! We don’t have any down here any more due to that darn fungus that has wiped out so many in the South. [emoji20]
