Having new chickens has been a bit of a worry. Watching the pecking order sort itself out is not much fun to watch. It’s been wonderful for the lowest in the order of our original hens as she made it quite clear from the moment the new hens arrived she was not going to be [...]
There are some things that are best left to one’s imagination. Some things just don’t justify a photograph paraded on the Internet. Some things are intimate and private – even for a basset hound. See this paw – it’s clean, sparkly clean compared to the rest of the animal. The rest of the animal was [...]
This is a desperate attempt to convince myself that there is blue sky up there by capturing it in a photo. After all the misery brought by the recent rains I was beginning to doubt that we’d ever seen anything but rain clouds. I love this cloud formation – the menace of the dark clouds, [...]
It wasn’t a surprise but it didn’t make the arrival of the big storm any easier to bear. The wind howled, the rain belted down and it all reaked havoc in the garden. It also led to another disturbed nights sleep. It’s a well known fact that a broken night’s sleep makes this Domestic Executive [...]

The one thing that dogs love to do is go for a walk. You know “walkies”. Time out and about sniffing, running, hooning and saying hello to the neighbours. This is Mason all collared and leaded patiently waiting for the off. He was having a bit of a wait though as today was a day [...]
After another miserable start to the day I feared the worst as I head into town. By lunch time I was proven wrong, it turned out to be a beautiful day. Just the day for lunch in the park. There were lots of people with the same idea. It wasn’t just humans that were enjoying [...]
At last a day without rain! Pity I’ve been holed up for most of it in Domestic Executive HQ. I’ve got some coaching workshops to deliver next week so I’m busy preparing programmes and materials for the client to approve. It’s always a toing and froing process that takes longer than you hope. But the [...]
