• Learn a new Skill

• Yes, we replanted our mint, in pots in the ground. In this photo they were in pots waiting for a tree to be shifted, then they got replanted. There is I believe, chocolate mint, apple mint, Vietnamese mint and moneywort.
• We realised today that we can't continue the painting in our new house's bedroom until the insulation is put in the ceiling first. There was slight dripping in a couple of places, or at least dampness with two very slight stains.
  
• I got an email today, that may help me out with the remaining homegrown raspberries in my freezer. I can't make smoothies with them because our fridge is at our current house, and the freezer at the new house. I found a recipe from a email newsletter from Taste, and the recipe calls for thawed berries. It is called a Berry & Apple Tray Bake (slice) for winter.
• We took 11 shopping bags sized bags to the op-shop filled with clothes that our daughter's either tried on or my husband sized, as he has a good eye for it.
• Not sure about skills. My husband was trying to offer suggestions on the way I got the fire back to life today in the heater.
