I know I’m rubbish at posting updates nowadays, but look! Our first official harvest! ❤️🌱
We harvested 3 itty bitty potatoes (which were DELICIOUS), as well as some tender Kale, spinach, sage, basil and a little thyme.
It’s little, but we are so proud, and next year will be EPIC 🙌🏻
Also made some Anzac biscuits and some triple Chocolate cookies, because reasons 🍪 #homegarden #veggiegarden #cookies

A slight break in the rain, so I went outside to check on the babies.
The plastic seems to have saved the seedlings from drowning, as you can see from the photo, this is what the garden bed would have looked like if I hadn’t covered them.
My potatoes didn’t fair as well. I couldn’t safely cover them, the plants are yellow (not a good sign) but fingers crossed as they are dude for harvest next week 🤞🏻
Let’s hope that’s the worst over 💔 #sydneyrain

The weather outside is proper rubbish, so I baked.
My state, and and local area in particular, has been smashed AGAIN by epic levels of rain (160mm/6.3in) in 3 days, and there’s still more to come.
My veggie garden looks like Laura Palmer (whose old enough to get THAT reference?!) and my entire yard is leaf covered mud, but we are blessed beyond measure to be on higher ground and will see no flooding.
My heart is broken, again, for the locals that have lost their homes, possessions, and livelihoods, and coming on the back of Covid too, it’s too much.
Please stay safe out there, never drive through rising water, and please evacuate if given the direction. This too shall (hopefully) pass 💔🌧 #sydneyrain

I bought myself a treat, and good timing too, as I’m having a bit of a flare up at the moment and will likely spend a good portion of the weekend lying down 😬
If you LOVE candles like I do, check out @wildhuntcandles ❤️ I just bought their new Skyrim inspired set and it’s *chefs kiss*, there was also a bonus Thieves Guild candle which I hope was intentional 😂 Thank you very much Wildhunt, you’ve made my weekend ❤️
P.a Sydney siders! Wildhunt will be at Supernova in two weeks! (Also should point out this is t sponsored or even requested, I just REALLY love candles and Wildhunt makes the best ones ❤️) #candles #skyrim #eds

EDS can cause a whole bunch of digestive related issues, including reflux, gastro paresis, constipation, and my personal favourite, severe pain with no obvious cause.
My goal this #edsawarenessmonth is to shine a light on the symptoms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, because there’s NO WAY it’s as rare as doctors think it this.
If you have hyper mobile joints and digestive symptoms that cannot be explained, Google EDS and speak to your doctor, or to a doctor that listens ❤️🦓 #eds
[ID: EDS Fact number 17, people with hypermobility are often faced with digestive problems. Our stomachs are often stretchy so food can stay in there too long. This is called delayed gastric emptying, which can make us feel full very quickly. It can also increase the risk of reflux. Autonomic problems can also effect digestion]
