  • All this spring gardening is making me a bit envious, but at least our long hot summer is finally conceding defeat: it's raining here as well, and my garden is far happier for it. As is my water bill, which is always horrendous at this time of the year. :eek:

    Had a spendy weekend, but all with the view to future MSE-ing: picked up a ceramic water container from a second hand shop so I can try my hand at brewing kombucha. Cost $25, but if it works it'll save me a fortune over time: a single bottle (450ml or so) of kombucha in the shops costs about $4, and brewing it is almost completely free.

    Also bought a heat lamp and feeder for baby chicks, and the man in the shop said he was expecting a new batch of fluffies this Friday :T Buying babies means no eggs for 4-6 months, but I have 3 good layers already, one's slowing down a bit but they'll see me through until the next batch hit puberty.

    So lots of spending, but it's all thoughtful long term stuff so I'm counting that as DFW work!
