Highland Living and Homesteading 🪵
Pictures mainly featuring our two dogs, rural living, forestry and nature, food and drink, boating, and DIY...🌱
Snapped some pics of our Marnie getting used to the boot for a change instead of the luxuries of the front seat ❤️ #dogsofmastodon #dog
Definitely a favourite with the dogs... Honestly, it's one of the few things that stands a chance! Very lucky to find Antlers once in a while to keep the dogs entertained

Went up to our water source this morning to fix a few things and figured I might as well make the most of it.
Took the dogs for a walk in the rain, snapped a few photos, and enjoyed the sound of water running stronger than usual 🌲 🐾

Today’s DIY project: Floor Sanding.
Last week we filled the gaps in the floor and any grooves, this week we sanded it all down, now for the painting!
It feels SO much calmer with the lighter colour and being rid of all the marks on the floor from the filler; a lot less for the eyes to process all at once 😅 We have noticed such a difference in heat retention since filling the gaps too, hoping for an even cosier winter this year with it all finnished 🤞

Trying out #chainsawcarving for the first time, unsure if I’m being overly optimistic with trying to make a mushroom for my first attempt…. but here we are! 🤔 Hopefully posting will hold me accountable for finishing it 😂

I know you need to see my nephew’s new puppy, Rocket. Imagine yourself snuggling with this little butterbean. 🥰

Privatising healthcare for profit leads to terrible outcomes. Just look at where it’s taken the #usa. Health care needs to be not for profit and in public hands, like all essential services (ENERGY, power, education, aged care, childcare).

The fall of Healthscope: bad luck, bad decisions, or is Australia’s private health model sick?

Rising costs, the Covid pandemic and an ageing population all played a part in the hospital giant’s collapse, which has prompted debate about the sector’s future
