I’m home, I’m unpacked which wasn’t much anyway & I have some washing on, especially my walking sneakers which became so very dusty due to where I walking. Coffee is in the pot, I’m defrosting a couple of slices of sourdough for my lunch & I’m going to blob for the afternoon. Regarding the bites I have - I still think it’s fleas & I have a least half a dozen now on my torso & more on my arms & legs & they itch 😞. I’ve left a note for the homeowners - they can check the dogs.
I feel like putting on pjs already - but I won’t —— yet 😁. #HouseSit #PetSit I love my little #Home.

Good morning tooters. A lot of rain last night has resulted in a very foggy morning. It’s just 11c & will only get to 21c & more rain is forecast. The sun is appearing though & starting to burn off the fog.
I’ve started to pack up as I head home today & I wish I hadn’t packed my mocha pot. It’s an old one that comes with me on every sit, but I noticed that the homeowners had some of those cappuccino sachets & decided that would do for the last morning coffee & packed it - but it’s awful stuff 😕 so I’ve tipped it out and made a cup of tea instead 🍵.
No walks for the dogs this morning, but they will get one when the owners return after lunch. I’ve also been told not to bother washing my sheets either with rain forecast. So I’ll just strip & remake putting the sheets I used into laundry basket with my towels.
Looking forward to getting home, unpacking & then doing nothing else for the day. I’ve enjoyed it out here, but it has been quite a busy 4 night sit.
Last day of the long Easter weekend, hope you all enjoy this #Monday. Time for me to get moving.

Happy Easter Sunday tooters. It is already about 19c here in Chiltern & it’s heading to 27c with some rain forecast this afternoon.
I need to get moving & take these dogs I’m caring for on their walk. I do believe that young Ozi may have a flea or two, or maybe it’s the chooks 🤷🏼‍♀️. I just know Ozi scratches & I have a couple or three bites - hmm! I slept with the knee brace on last night & used an extra pillow for support & my knee is a lot better. I will keep the brace on for today as well though, but at least I’m not limping now so I don’t think I tore anything & I will be very mindful when out walking this morning.
My morning routine while I’m here once I get up is to give the dogs their morning chicken wings, fill up the cats food bowls & then make a cup of tea. After which it’s full light & I can feed the chooks, then I make my own breakfast & a hot coffee. So all that is now done & I’m off for my shower & then our walk.
Have a wonderful #Sunday, don’t eat too much chocolate 🍫. #Weather #HouseSit #PetSit #Easter

Good morning tooters. It feels quite fresh here in Chiltern this morning & I have my slippers on. It’s around 12c right now & the sun has started shining it should get to a pleasant 28cl
Slept quite soundly last night, the mattress here is pretty hard compared to mine but supposedly hard mattresses are meant to be good for us & I’ll keep telling myself that 😂. I have a friend coming out for a visit this morning for a coffee & she’s going to help me wrangle these dogs & come for a walk with us. This afternoon I’m heading back into Wodonga to water my garden & then take the Easter pjs & bunnies to the grandkids before heading back out here for the last two nights.
Hope you all have a great #Saturday, stay safe out there, I’m hearing the traffic is crazy 🌻. #Weather #HouseSit #PetSit #Easter

Good evening tooters. I am all settled in at my house/pet sit, I was suitably greeted & loved by the dogs 🐶 🐕 & then they just ignored me. The chickens 🐔 🐓 were waiting in their run to be fed, so I did that & Yoshi the cat 🐈‍⬛ deigned to grace me with her presence after about 3hrs - it was dinner time mind you & she told me 😂.
I’ll be able to get a picture of both dogs tomorrow. I’m very spoilt with this time at the sit. They’ve done up the guest bedroom, it’s pretty swish, aircon & ceiling fan, fancy bed, giant tv. I’ve never really watched tv in the bedroom so I’m not sure I’ll make use of it except to check it out maybe.
I’m now relaxing, in my pjs with a glass of wine & ready for a relatively quiet & relaxing weekend. #HouseSit #PetSit #Easter

Good morning tooting friends. It’s a beautiful morning outside, around 12-13c right now, very dewy & heading up to a lovely 28c.
I’ve already started organising my packing requirements to head away to my weekend house/pet sit in Chiltern. Lots of little containers are sitting on my bench with things in them that I use on a daily basis. I’ll have most of it sorted & packed before I have to pick up my granddaughter to take her out to lunch. I haven’t decided where we will go yet. She might have something in mind & if not I have a couple of suggestions for her to choose from. I’m looking forward to this as this is the grandchild I don’t see very often & her social life is pretty full & typical of most 18yr olds.
I hope everyone has a lovely #Thursday, last day of the working week for many people with it being #GoodFriday tomorrow. Have a great day people, stay safe out there 🌻. #Weather #HouseSit #PetSit #Family

Well I’m pretty happy with this. A dozen mini quiches adapted from Recipe Tin Eats crustless quiche, with my own little twist of course 😁. Two of these with a bit of salad & there’s #Dinner. The rest will go in the freezer. #Food for another day.
My sister seems to be very slowly improving, but still on her bed most of the day. #Family
My visit to Chiltern went well, the new wee dog is a real friendly cutie, a bit nervous of men, brooms, hoses & sticks apparently, tells me way too much, the poor little thing - but was all over me & is so sweet. I will share photos when I’m there over #Easter. Also nice, they’ve done up the guest bedroom where I sleep & it’s pretty swish 😃. #HouseSit #PetSit

Good morning tooting friends. It’s not sunrise yet, I’ve been up for an hour nursing a cuppa tea 🫖. It’s quite a cool morning, 9c but it will warm to a lovely 26c.
Just having my breakfast eggs 🍳 & my coffee ☕️ is freshly made. Feeling pretty good this morning after yesterday evening. Looking forward to my #RiverWalk that’s for sure. I need to get groceries today too so I’ll take all I need with me & go straight after I’ve done my walk.
I received a msg from one of my house/pet sit people where I’ll be for 3 days over Easter 🐣. They have added a new dog to the mix, a 2yr old male long haired Jack Russell, called Ozi as he was born on Australia Day. Apparently he was an unwanted dog on a farm nearby 😏. They sent me a picture & I’m going down to meet him the weekend before Easter. So now it’ll be 2 dogs 🐶 🐕 , one cat 🐈‍⬛ & numerous chooks 🐓 🐓😁.
Wishing everyone a happy #HumpDay #Wednesday. Have a good one people, take care out there 🌻.

Good morning tooters. It’s nearly 18c today & we’re dropping below 30c today to a warm 29c. It’s going to be a little overcast today & there could be a little rain.
I was supposed to take my granddaughter to school today as my daughter has her car in for a repair, but that’s changed. I took her yesterday, today she wants her grandpa to take her instead. Makes it easier on me anyway & grandpa lives closer.
Today is packing up & going home day, so I’ll be busy for most of it. Washing bedding, dusting vacuuming & making sure I don’t leave anything behind. That’ll be my exercise for the day 😃.
Have a wonderful #Friday everyone, #HereComesTheWeekend.

Good morning tooters, another week has started. It was quite a warm night again last night & is currently about 17c heading to an ok 31c today.
I didn’t sleep in this morning - waking in the dark of what 6am is like now. Still not really sleeping soundly, but that’s ok for now. I’ve had my breakfast 🍳 & my coffee ☕️ & in about half an hour I’ll get myself ready to go to the pool 🏊🏼‍♀️ . Today I’m meeting my friend there, so lots of chats between the laps 😄. After that I need to head up home & give my own garden a good watering. I might take back a few things that I’m not going to need for the rest of the week.
My daughter & I had planned to meet up later but we both have other things to do as well so we’ve put it off until later in the week when she has another day off & spend the day for just the two of, mother & daughter. No little ones 😁.
Hope everyone enjoys their #Monday. Have a good one.
