I've seen more and more cars on the roads with small solar panels on their roofs. Charging batteries as they drive I assume. I have seen solar panels on caravan set ups for years but was surprised at the sudden increase in them on car roofs lately. I hope my current car survives until the...

I use Modibodi undies. Bloody brilliant :clap https://www.modibodi.com/ The only bad thing about them is the price. But in saying that, I have used my undies for nearly 3 years and they are still in very good condition and very well made. So the upfront price has been worth it since they last...

I refer to the single use plastic bags, the type people take home from the store but not out again except as rubbish. Carrying cloth bags through so many locations just never seemed all that hygienic to me, they touch the trolley and the conveyor belts, even public toilet floors. Much more...

There are so many visible stars here, it would be impossible to notice new ones. There is just no way to even count those visible to the naked eye. The night sky is one of the best things about living in the bush. And if the power went out, we'd be the last to know of any global disaster. A...

I maybe should have planned seeding a bit better. I now have a bunch of baby seedlings that stuck their heads up at the same time. Now I will have to nurse them along until they are big enough to look after themselves. It will be 35C next week and the bugs are out in force. They are zucchini...

I can't get delivery where I am, but I use disposalable antibacterial wipes on the stuff I get from the store :) wiped down before they go in the fridge or pantry. The stores ask for people not to touch what they aren't going to buy, but if I pick up something damaged, I'm definitely putting it...

Same here. My car has always had hand sanitizer stashed in it. And since I moved here I started wearing a poncho when I go out. Small minded small town people are creeped out by such a display of hippy behaviour, and keep their distance lol. It's not as affective in the city where I shop on the...

Welcome :) I've never used it myself but have heard of people using black salve for melanomas on horses with (anacdotal) success. Goodluck in your search :)

The borders just opened to my state yesterday :( the numbers are low but even New Zealand is getting random cases here and there. I avoid town as much as I can over the Christmas season anyway so am well stocked but still need a couple trips to the coast between now and next year. My...

Some more flower pics from today that couldn't fit in the flower contest thread :p sorry if they are blurry, it's a bit blowy and wet out there!

This is right up my alley :D Its raining today but I'll go get some pictures when I put the ducks to bed. Im not a great photographer, so I hope the beauty of the flowers speak for themselves :D (PS, plenty of wildflowers at this time of year down under) Ok got some in between showers, a lot...

I put Vegemite on the gate to stop the rabbit opening it and getting into the kitchen. Apparently, my bunny likes Vegemite :idunno

Do they do colour testing for buns? I duno if it is the same as with horses, grey is a dominant gene.

Potato salad with eggs and herbs from the garden.

More whippersnippering today. The grass is just starting to dry out now. It will be 30C the next couple days so I wanted to get it chopped a bit before it dries out too much. The ducks followed me around the yard while I did it. still more to do but I got the bit I wanted to get done finished...

Aww cute. One of mine had a leg issue at that age. It outgrew the issue and I don't even know which bird it is now. No intervention required.

I am about to start some duck fencing this week cos they have ripped out a fair few of my spring seedlings now. They have plenty of other feed, and they dont actually eat the seedings, just rip them out and leave them to dry out and die. I will be happy to have the ducks away from the house for...

Personally, I would never put rabbits in with chickens. I know plenty of people who have, but my buns are house pets and knowing them in that way, they could not live a full and healthy life in the same sort of conditions that chickens live in. Cats and buns can live together very happily...

What about just wrapping the neck in vet wrap? (this sort of stuff <<link. I dont know if you guys call it the same thing over there!) It can rip under enough pressure and can be wrapped as many times as you want thick. It is cheap and can be reused to a point, but to prevent infections I'd be...

The drake seems to have healed well enough to go back out with the other boys this afternoon. They were all so happy to be reunited. Ducks are such cute little things. I need to fence off some sections for the girls to eat down because right now they have free range and no focus, stuff is...
