G'day for Saturday.
Poor Duckie, having to parade in the cold. Poor you, too - I hope the wagon isn't too big (*mental image of bullock wagon*

Fran, I felt like I had webbed feet today - when we went out shopping and collecting our plants, I had to change into my gum boots because it was just so boggy.
I hope difficult child does his chores for you.
We were supposed to be at a school fair today but it got called off due to the really revolting weather. Today was cold, wet and very windy. It wasn't torrential rain, but it was constant and wet enough to be unpleasant. My hands were numb from the cold, fingers clumsy. Gale force winds out to sea so there was a storm surge as well, with all the creeks and rivers backing up. We had to drive "to the mainland" on some errands (outdoors) - some plants to collect, therapist to visit (briefly), a bit of shopping to do. As we drove over the causeway the river was lipping the edge - if we'd spat upstream it would have spilled over. By the time we were heading home, the river was over the road and we had to turn back and go home the long way.
We'd had mother in law with us (it gets her out of the house on a cold, miserable day so she's not on her own) so we kept her with us after we got home and had a pizza afternoon watching movies then kept her with us for an early dinner. Meanwhile I took advantage of the light rain continuing and planted the shrubs we'd collected today, did a bit more weeding, rounded up the snails which were enjoying the rain (I'm mean - I fed the snails to the chooks) then harvested some red and yellow spinach (and other vegetables) from the garden for a stir-fry dinner.
The rain is easing, it's even possible that when difficult child 1 drives back home tonight he won't have to drive the long way, the river might be down again. Tomorrow is our monthly artists open day in the village, I'm hoping to take difficult child 3 around to have a look at a few more artists. Tomorrow should be a little warmer, they say.
Enjoy your Saturday!
