Harvest is in full swing

For those of you who don't know me that well

I am married to a farmer so August/September is a tad manic!

 

 

.......and this year our "student" is none other than our son Ben!

 

So I currently have TWO tired, grouchy men sharing the house

filling my utility room floor with oats and rape seeds

and producing mountains of laundry!

 

.........and this is how I spent my day yesterday.....

 

Sunday:

 

 

COSTCO RUN

Picked a trolley with a mind of it's own

Selected the wrong queue for the tills as always 

 

finally got home and ate lunch at 2:40
 

 

 

COMBINE HARVESTER

 broke down last night...parts flew out the back

hubby was NOT a happy bunny

 

..........until John Deere fitter & he rebuilt the beast this morning & got it working

 

harvesting again 

early night cancelled.....midnight finish

 

which meant

DINNER

(to be delivered in the field)

Chicken in red wine in the slow cooker

veggies prepped

 

Ah just time to mow the lawn.....

whose bright idea was it to buy extra land?

Henry Honda

(yep our mower has a name)

and I trundled around the garden.....not as proficient as the boys but hey I tried!

 

PHONE CALL

....er hi honey.....when will dinner be ready....

(with me up to my elbows in grass cuttings)

 

So once I'd got everything loaded into Parker

 (my Freelander has a name too!)

I headed off into the countryside in search of 5 hungry farmers

 

Quick chat to catch up on the days action and then

hubby hot foots it back in the combine

starts it up and

covers my car in a cloud of dust

which stuck to the bugs that had glued themselves to the vehicle earlier...yeuch!

 

 out came the hose pipe when I got home

............and I washed the car

 

I finally got my dinner at about 9:30

and to say I was shattered was an understatement!

 

My intentions to craft & blog went out the window and if I am honest it's going to be hit and miss until the crops are in...........boo hoo.....so please bear with me

 

 

Well that's about all from this

"Multi-tasking Mama"

for the mo

 

......the mountain of laundry sadly won't wash itself

but by the state of some of it....I wish it would!

and

just had a call from hubby

Dinner for 7 men required today

so 

MEALS ON WHEELS

will be on the road again later
