We have an action packed day ahead. Didn't sleep overly well, we've been in quiet houses for the last month, not used to noisy hostels anymore! We had an appointment with Ocean Explorations whale watching trip at 9.30am. We went there via the drugmart to get some camera batteries and then had time for a quick coffee for Ross ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=325824&go=duff Wed, 16 May 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=325225&go=duff We did the usual chicken chores in the morning after Steve made us pancakes for breakfast and then went into Duncan to collect the slops. Steve was packing the chicken from yesterday ready to take some to Victoria for an order. Don't know what Dodie was doing, never do really. We got back and sorted and distributed the slops and then packed up the last of our bits. Dodie went to her Weight Watch... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=325225&go=duff Tue, 15 May 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=324464&go=duff Steve went off to the Pharmacy to get the prescription made for Tracy and took it over to her. We fed the chickens and the sheep and waited for him to get back. He returned with Dodie and the slops. We sorted and distributed the slops and then started digging around another raised bed. Steve and Dodie were processing the chickens. They were all in the trailer waiting and he took them and placed... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=324464&go=duff Mon, 14 May 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=323990&go=duff As richard has discovered we have fallen into the seedy underworld of the croc wearers! For those that dont know crocs are weird plasticy clog/sandal things worn by many nz/oz people who are generally a bit strange. However we have been converted to a north american version of crocs which are not so plasticcy. but still a bit weird. The real reason for our conversion is that it is better to we... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=323990&go=duff Sun, 13 May 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=323978&go=duff Steve and Dodie went to Victoria to visit Dodie's mother for Mothers Day. We stayed behind and weeded the garden after feeding the chickens and sheep. I weeded in between the rows of peas with the little rototiller and Ross weeded a large empty section with the big rototiller. About lunchtime we realised we hadn't seen Java for a while, so we called and called for her. But no Java. Oh dear, Ross... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=323978&go=duff Sun, 13 May 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=323688&go=duff So today was another early start as we left for Duncan at 6.30am. We set up the stall and helped guide new vendors to their spaces. Tomorrow is Canada's Mothers Day, and Steve and Dodie had advertised the market in the local paper with special mothers day things, so it was expected to be busy. And the forecast was for a sunny day, so there had been many requests from new vendors to come and sell a... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=323688&go=duff Sat, 12 May 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=322815&go=duff Steve and Dodie got back at about midnight last night, so they were tired and jetlagged. We heard about their trip and saw some photos on the computer with Steve while Dodie made the bread for the market. They seemed pleased with the amount of work we'd done while they were away. We had breakfast and then fed the chickens. We noticed the garden was wet again and the same pipe had burst near the ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=322815&go=duff Fri, 11 May 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=322813&go=duff Today was our last day before Steve and Dodie got back, and we'd done almost everything on the list of jobs. We did the usual chicken chores and sorted out the mess we'd made and then had an early lunch and set off for Duncan. Cowichan Lake is the biggest lake on the island and Cowichan River goes from the lake along to Duncan and into the sea at Cowichan Bay. There is a footpath all the way alon... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=322813&go=duff Thu, 10 May 2007 12:00:00 GMT
