I'M BACK - help me identify my Bromeliad please

 Hello to everyone

I am back in the land of blogging and have to say that I have missed dearly sharing my daily life and some of my thoughts and ideas with you all. I last wrote when I took over the kitchen at a local pub. That has finished - rather suddenly I might add. The pub sold and the new owners are doing the kitchen for themselves which makes so much more sense in a small country town pub. Good luck to them because I had had enough already. Bloody hell - please make sure you smile sweetly and use your manners next time you eat at an establishment like that. It is hard work.

Now back to a much more simple life. Below is a series of photos I have taken of the bromeliad that I was given a pup to about 2 years ago. It started to flower - grew into a magnificent huge red pineapple which apparently is not edible like my other pineapples and then got heavier and heavier on it's long stalk that it fell over and has now thrown of more pups and little pineapple flowers of the main one. I will just let it go and see what happens. I think I will then break of the pups and replant them and let them start all over. If anyone knows what this plant is called I would so appreciate the help. I have no idea.

Talk again tomorrow.

Cheers,
Wendy

WENDY'S KITCHEN

Hello to anyone that reads this post.

It has been over a month since I took the time out to write anything on here. I have been so busy with a new project. I have taken on the lease of the kitchen at the local pub - Tiaro Royal Hotel

It all happened so quickly that the past four weeks have sort of flown by in a blur. But it is all settled down now and I have a rythm settling in. The kitchen is open 7 days a week for lunch between 12 and 2 and then again for dinner between 6 and 8pm. I am not gone from the house all day and I do get time to myself. It is not very busy as yet. I certainly hope to make it that way.

The reason for this activity is pure and simply to make money to pay of debts. Debt Free Is my absolute motto - chant - mantra. I cannot think of anything else lately. It feels so urgent to do this and whenever I get a thought that side steps from this I just automatically pull myself back to the goal. There just does not seem to be anything else that I feel is more important - nothing I can buy - nothing I can do - that is more important.

DEBT FREE = FREEDOM

So here I am working in two businesses. But as the saying goes - if you want something done give the job to a busy person - no procrastinating over a decision or when to do something. It is just do it now - make the decision now and move forward.

All year I have been plodding away at making gifts for Christmas presents. Plodding away with no time schedual  - just cruising. NOW I have lots of work to do - not as much time free and I have managed to not have all my gifts finished and wrapped. So another year comes to an end with me flat out sorting out and finishing of those last few gifts and things to do. Makes me laugh.

Anyway I won't write to much else today. I just wanted to fill those who follow my blog in on where I am at and why I have not been around to write or even read the posts of others. It will not be so long though before I write again and catch up on some reading and what everyone else has been up to.

Cheers,
Wendy
