We’ve been eating many homemade muffins. Still.

We have been a bit stressed about the fact our hot water system, oven and gas heater all need replacing. (Oh dear…)

Reuben has been really excited about mowing our itty bitty lawn. It’s so nice to have a tiny piece of land that is all our own.

Katie has attended an amazing local exhibit of Victorian and Edwardian dresses.

We have been juicing lots. (Carrot, apple and cucumber seems to be the flavour of the moment!)

We’ve started our compost heap in preparation for the veggie patch we intend to build in spring.

… We have been quite fed up with the heat of summer. (Autumn, did you hear that? We are so ready for you!)

Katie has been on a mission to find the perfect healthy banana muffin recipe.

Reuben has been listening to lots of The Bee Gees and The Kinks.

We have both fallen completely in love with Katie’s mum’s new kitten, Pippa. (Really, how could you not love that face?!)

We’ve been perplexed by the mutant sunflowers that have popped up in the garden.

We have been eating chia seeds in everything.

Katie’s finished reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and Reuben has started it.

We’ve been hoping, quite desperately, for rain.

We have decided to move into our house sooner rather than later. This weekend in fact! We’re not anywhere near finished renovating (we haven’t even finished stripping paint yet), but we both feel like we need to be there now. We just want to start making our old house a home. Once we’re in we’re going to take our time with the renovations and focus on fixing up one room at a time.
