morning ladies   Another early start thanks to the Furry One and a rabbit.  The rabbit got tangled up in MrK's wood pile and was squealing so was supposedly easy pickings for the Furry One.  But the silly dog let it go, probably to chase it, and it got away.  So now he's on the hunt for it again.
We have rain clouds this morning and according to the weather gods we are supposed to have rain.  Will believe it when I see it.
I have never made jam from tinned fruit before but I have from frozen fruit.  We had a glut of plums one year as a friend gave us buckets and buckets of them.  I made jam and plum sauce but there was still lots left over even after eating so I froze them in one kilo bags, all cut up, ready for jam.  I have also frozen tinned fruit when we haven't finished a whole tin so this could be another alternative, popeye.
The banana cake never eventuated so I'll bake that today but first I want to start cutting out a feijoa that has never had fruit.  MrK had cut it back years ago (ground level) but it has grown back .  We thought maybe it would fruit this time but nope.  So it's going.  There are also some small pieces of concrete I need to biff into the bin, chips off the bigger pieces.  I'll start digging the new garden while I'm at it to  prepare it for new topsoil.  I'll level out the lawn part too but the seed can't be sown until autum so there is no hurry.
I've had an idea for a knitting needle bag and plan to work on that this afternoon.  Might have to use the last of the dinosaur fabric lol as my stash is getting quite low.  
Happy crafting
