Anodyne Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I had some enforced downtime last year too - initially it was driving me crazy, then I started treating it as one long "rainy day" project... great opportunity to sit down & learn stuff I don't normally have time for. So maybe you've always wanted to learn how to cook kormas or use Photoshop or whatever, here's your chance.Also learning some yoga (from youtube, so you can do it at home in your pajamas) stopped me from climbing the walls & eventually got me back on my feet. Good combination of calm breathing/meditation and listening to your body - when you're recovering from something major it can be really hard to believe how weak you currently are, you keep thinking "no, that can't be right, I feel ok, I must be able to walk to the bathroom on my own" - but if you're spending an hour or so each day focused solely on awareness of your body, then it's much harder to overdo it & injure yourself. There are plenty of other similar disciplines which I know nothing about (like tai chi, qi gong, etc), but if you don't already do one then I'd get onto it. I know it's such a hippy cliche, but I really couldn't recommend it highly enough. At worse it'll keep you amused. At its best it can take the place of your physio & half your meds.Great to see you back, I'm so jealous of that asparagus patch! How do you reach the spears in the middle without crushing the outer ones? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Hillbillios Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 You place is really beautiful, i do really envy your farm. Some more pics of it would kick ass bullit is spot on there.I feel for you mate, i really do. Is there anything we could do to help? I guess you could sew seeds. How about we all send you some seeds? We could have a community drive and flood you with seeds. Fk know what youd do once they all grow, maybe start a nursery and retire from your propper job LOL? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sallubrious Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Get yourself some baoding balls WB, it's pronounced bow-ding.They're the only thing that's kept me from going around the twist when I've been bedridden or incapacitated many times in the past.They use them in China for therapy for almost everything, they reckon they stimulate the acupuncture/acupressure points in your hands. Even if that's BS they take your mind off things and they're a good meditation tool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterboy 2.0 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 The asparagus is still in a block/row Anodyne. When they really fire up you can pick a path across to cut them, a few get squashed at times though https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gif This bed thumps out enough to not make me stress about a few though.https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh492/waterboytas/DSCN0328_zpsqbuygior.jpg&key=1259816503592c172689c5356023c97e19a833b5b01f3ad68d222443dabd06ecA.verticillata is also starting to flowerhttps://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh492/waterboytas/DSCN0384_zpsq0sdadcm.jpg&key=c5cc4dc8ba7ea105dad3243ae124313a8e13522f7443e80e554b21d0684c0b77Globe Artichokes need a feed for big budshttps://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh492/waterboytas/DSCN0324_zpsdsdqia7y.jpg&key=8a9f062f1c23e678f389a2a3f8b28296af5062102a26cd89d4aa2a4833be5aa4https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh492/waterboytas/DSCN0254_zpsnmoifez9.jpg&key=0d8504acf6d17d30f38721919bb76dfe1fec0730fd22c5564bcbf1a224d9b9aa 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Awesome place!Do you mind if I ask approximately how big is the property, what a place like that would be worth, and roughly how far a drive to the nearest decent size shopping area (say a supermarket and department store etc). You are living on my dream property, I'd love to be able to sell up and move somewhere like that one day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti101 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm with you Alice, that place looks great! (Though I might go for something slightly warmer.)Daffodils make me homesick for the farm I grew up on. I'm pretty jealous.I reckon you might you have a snared yourself a few extra road-trippers as guests sometime (when you are feeling better, of course). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit more patience on these yet...... still getting some tiny maca's germinating now I am keeping check on the moisture levels again.Makes me look like an amateur...lolhttps://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh492/waterboytas/DSCN0240_zpsj3qkdcs4.jpg&key=5b9e155c440cef1e4cc7a75d3e83f200527148d19e24a55bb36d04364b37fd3cAlice I am on approx 18ha, marginal land farming wise. Land that has character https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gif Pretty basic "cottage"Diverse vegetation assemblages and geology. Just over 100K purchase 15 years or so ago, last state land value was around 280K (not a market price that can be higher or lower) plus 'additions' = buildings/shedsA lot of wildlife lives about me here.Prices went up when we purchased because all the "mainlanders" (yeah,yeah thats racist) were buying up down here...lol...seriously a lot of folk "invested" and are retiring to here.Really only 30 mins to a big chain supermarket for me. 40 get you into a city. In 30 minutes I can get to several different towns in different directions. That said know the roads https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gifA fair call would be 350K as an entry be about right for some rural areas (basic 3 bed) (some gone through the roof price wise). Haven't really watched real estate for a while though. I get cheap council rates (because they do nothing for me...lol...) but have other expenditures like roads and "shit" that needs to be done. Cheaper can be found still for sure.Its my climate...its in my bones....a lotta folk cant adjust. Warmer climate folk do better in the north-east on the coast.Its a bastard of a climate for attempting vines...lollol....there is trout, redfin perch, blackfish and eels swimming about nut, and a few crustaceans. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
