No Snow Here!

Although it got down to minus 4C last night, there is a bin full of rainwater by the vegie garden and it had a thick layer of ice on it when we went outside.
No Pat, we don't get snow, just frost and the weeds can still grow through that although it's killed my oregano in the pot out the back.  And the grass still grows too, albeit slowly.
I think my hormones are in play, I had a bit of a misery guts day today, kept having to remind myself of how bad things were and how much better they are now.  I have to stop myself from looking backwards so much, and force myself to look forward. 
I had some chicken thigh fillets, and had a hankering for Chicken Cacciatore which I haven't made for years, if ever.  Then when I was at the supermarket saw a jar of Butter Chicken sauce and thought it would be an easier dinner tonight when I wasn't feeling too good.  I ended up splitting the chicken and making both, with naan bread, basmati rice and pasta, but not all at once.  Might char grill some zucchini too.
Phill has been working at midday every day, but tomorrow he goes to Melbourne again in the night time so I thought we might drive up to Young for lunch just to get out of this cold, dark miserable bloody house.
I know good things are ahead for me, but I must make them happen myself and not just wait for them to come to me.
We are thinking we might get our entitlements from El Shonko by Christmas, or so the union says.  I've written it off, we got through the financial crisis, anything else will be a bonus.  I just hope Ray Evans gets what he deserves after what he's done to so many families.  He is allegedly in hiding on his huge estate outside of Melbourne.  I hope justice prevails and he no longer has a huge estate.  We just wanted to be paid for the work that was done in good faith.  We weren't.
