Bits and Pieces. Floods. Soap. What eva!

Slade Point Lookout.

It's cool. It's cloudy with a lovely breeze blowing.  Just the right day for making a new batch of soap with the gorgeous colours I ordered on line from Heirloom Cosmetics.   If I want to sell my soaps at the markets I need to make lots of stock so that it has time to cure.    If I don't run out of steam, I can make a few batches.

older batches of home made soap.

I would take photos to show you BUT.   My 3 month old camera has now gone back to Nikon to get fixed or Nikon will probably  say it was dropped, it had sand in it, grass in it, your fault!  
The guys from the retailer warned me that this is Nikon's usual stance.   What a mob of bastards!!!   I'll wait and see.  
To make matters worse, could not buy a charger for my other camera at 2 big retail outlets.      Also, couldn't buy a phone battery from where we bought the phones!  The world is going down the tubes to Agenda 21.

Another lot of very yummy Mango Chutney was made here.  It is so nice that we could eat it by the spoonful!  I put a little extra mixed spice in and a little more garlic too and this has given it that extra hit of flavour.  Let me know if you would like the recipe posted.

   This is my first attempt at  sealing the jars in a simmering hotwater bath.  It worked and each of the jar's lids popped in.  I'm going to get out the Fowlers Vacola stuff and do it properly for the  next lot of jam making.       Storage is a huge problem for me due to the smallness of the home and my lovely collection habits!

We have had horrendous flooding in Australia, AGAIN!!  

The wonderful local  Coates Hire in Mackay, QLD  is taking their tilt  tray truck with 2 containers of donated goods and clothing etc,   down to Bundaberg to be there for any one in need. 

Believe me... that's a lot of people.   We took our donations in.  The containers were filled within a few days!!!    I love kind and generous people.   I had made a heap of kids clothes from fabric that a friend had given me a year ago and   I was going to sell it very cheap on my market stall.     Nah.... this is a far better use for them all.  Now, I can sew up some more and diminish that stash.



Also dropped my car off to get the damage fixed from the October incident!   Hell no.. don't want to rush these things...

Crop Cirlcles, Strange Light Orbs and UFOs.

I have a love for the mysterious and the unknown. All of the above fit that category....


 This year there has been many beautiful, intricate and unusual crop circles found in fields in a few different countries. The most prolific area  is Wiltshire in the UK and    the best site to keep up with the latest findings is The Crop Circle Connector site.  

Sure, there are some made by humans.  These can easily be identified by the uneveness and irregularity of the lines BUT the definite distinction between the two is that the alien made ones
have the stalks bent by something that does not break them.   They can be laying over and worked into the most intricate patterns and not a stem broken.

  Also, those that visit,  say there is a difference in the feelings experienced in them.    The alien ones have a peaceful feeling where as the man made ones just feel as though you are laying  in a field of wheat.   People are trying to figure out if there are any messages for us in these circles.  I think  they are like statistics.   You can skew your numbers to fit your arguments and there are some wild and wonderful guesses. 

An interesting one was made in a poppy field in England!   I think that's a first. 

 There is a beautiful crop circle that I am going to ask a jeweller to copy into a pendant.   I have the gold for it already in the form of a redundant wedding ring!


Who or what is causing is the increase in light orbs turning up in peoples'  photos and videos?
They seem to have two patterns.  Some are very bright with no pattern and the argument is that they are just water drops on the lens.  That may be so but the others zoom in and around people.  These have circles within circles and a blobby bit in the centre  that can look like a human face. 
A man said that one entered his chest and cured him.  Of what?  He didn't say.     They look to me like lost souls.....  just sayin' is all!  


It seems that UFO sightings are every where. In broad daylight over cities and the more common night time  sightings.   I have seen four.   Three were lights and each different. One was in the day and looked like a bulgy plane with no wings in a dull metallic colour.  so... An amber coloured light followed me in my car for 10 minutes.  It did not stay in the one place and when I speeded up to get out of it's way, it speeded up.  It went over into the trees about 150 metres out on the left , then above  and then back behind me to the left,         Shit scared is a good description for how I felt.   
They are out there!

In the nice weather we sit out on the back deck after dinner which we eat there anyway and look for meteors satellites and UFOs.  There has been two little white lights at different times in the sky. Once we were watching them and a plane was heading towards them. One took off to the west and one to the south east , quite fast. I doubt that they all would have been the same height.  another time we saw a solitary cloud go so very bright as though lit from an explosion within.  The next day my partner was watching a similar orb when it appeared to blow up with the same bright white light.


Another night we were watching the two orbs/lights when a huge, and I mean huge explosion of light came up from the ground not far the house. About 100 metres away.   The colours were the orange, reds and yellows of an explosion. It lit up the hills all around but there was no noise nor any smell. I have never seen a light like it. My mother witnessed it and she was also at a loss to what it was. Definitely not a spotlight or car lights.   I walked down the next day to look but all looked the same!

I haven't  prattled on too, too  much because Google will show you all the interesting bits if you want to know more.
