The years start running into each other and before you know it, time has passed. In order to catch the moments and remember them, I will attempt to write a bit about the past year:
- We had no water worries this year with water tanks placed ready-to-go for dry season.
- We kept a vegetable garden going all year round and had a bucket garden during dry season. We also made rotating gardens from guinea pig concrete homes.
- We reared ducklings in guinea pig crèches with success.
- Gnome single-handedly built a veranda and a wonky looking gate.
- Gnome fixed the washing machine and saved money. He also removed the cover and gave it to a broody goose to set in.
- The geese are still tyrannical but we are managing to live with them…we love them actually! They laid some eggs for us.
- We have a camp area at the pond with a spaceship tent.
- The brush-mower finally died on us this year.
- We canned about 200 jars of food in July when it was really wet and depressing.
- We added Psychotherapy and Acupuncture to our medical repertoire.
- Panda is settling down better and got a lot better towards the end of the year. He is doing more rather than just talking about doing.
- Munchkin and Gnome are fine but still need to work on being lighter and more humorous in their life goals.
- I did not blog this because I was so devastated but a possum got into our guinea cages and wiped them all out. We have to start again in the new year with brand new piggies. After this happened, we decided that we will eat possum.
- On the balance, we think that 2017 was a good year.
