Well have you ever been so happy to get back to work that it makes you smile as you walk through the door. That is exactly how I felt this morning! I have spent the last 2 weeks with my children vomiting all over my house car and myself and their self. Yesterday was the first day that my house didn’t have that terrible hospital smell to it.

I am sooo excited to be at work in the quiet of tractors and generators and the rest of it. So peaceful compared to “mum its happening again!”. I take my hat off to all those Nurses and Caregivers out there. You are amazing people! So lovely to sick people all the time and to the over tired slightly psychotic mothers who bring them in.

But back to turf. I wanted to quickly remind everyone that we are open all next week with Dad only having Easter Friday and Easter Sunday off, all the rest of the time we will be cutting and delivering to your door. So maybe while the family is around these holidays get them to install a bit of turf for you or patch up that dirt spot you have been meaning to do for a while. I know that I will be really happy to answer all your calls over the next week because you will talk like an adult and not about why that stuff comes out of my like that.

Hopefully we will chat soon, A really happy to be back at work

I have been talking to lots of Landscapers this week who have been looking everywhere for Qld Blue Couch. It seems that the latest floods have wiped out a lot of other arms stocks. Well, as I have been saying to these grass hunters, we still have some A Grade Qld Blue Couch  and 1000’s of square meters of the B grade Qld Blue couch. At Coastal Turf our B Grade grasses are about 6 weeks younger than the A grade equivalent. So not as thick and fluffy, but with a few weeks of establishment time at your place they can be just as fluffy. One of our landscapers likes the b grade better as it means that he can feed and establish it at the owners place, rather than the farm. Others love the thick lush look of the A grade. Each to their own. That’s why we have 9 different grasses.

Well I’m off to eat more birthday cake.

This week for me with the Rain, is not about Grass, Turf or Lawns. It’s all about Marcus! My baby is turning 4! It is shocking to think that my littlest child is now going to be 4 years old! This Wednesday is going to be a big Boy he tells me. All grown up and too big for me to carry, and then he will be able to drive the trucks like Poppa and Daddy. Wow the things you can do now-a-days when you are 4. Not to sound old, but back in my day, when I turned four it meant that I got a “Big Girl Bike” and that Dad took off one of my training wheels. Now Marcus thinks he can drive a truck. Excellent. Don’t know how many off you will be happy with a four year old delivering your turf. Hang on mate I know you can’t now, cause you can’t drive the Bobcat to get the turf off. Haha Mum wins! No truck driving for you Marcus! He tells me he has to be at least 6 to drive one of them. Phew we are all safe a little longer!

And what were we all doing 4 years ago? But in 2008, a big boom in Salt in Northern NSW was talking place and we were taking in loads and loads of beautiful Queensland Blue Couch into peoples front and backyards. And on a reminiscing drive the other day, I noticed that thees lawns are looking soft and fluffy. A place where I would love to lie down and play with my kids in. Congrats to those with those lawns. 4 years on it looks great. And I am a lot more Brain Power these days.

Chat Soon when I am all partyed out
