Chocolate -2 days and counting
It’s nice to have a couple of peaceful days after the somewhat stressful events in recent weeks. Pie seems to be doing well now; his daily routine involves warm baths and plenty of basking under the sun heat lamp and UV tube, with spells outside if the weather’s up to scratch. He’s very happy romping [...]

Warm fuzzies
Two good things this month brings are flowers and pancakes; really, what more do you need!? A huge bouquet was sheepishly carried in to the house by my hubby on the friday evening before Valentine’s day, and the flowers are still going strong now. They are thirsty little blossoms, but very pretty – he chose [...]

Wishes granted – almost
Snow? Tick. Coffee? Tick. Lack of anything worth watching on tv? Pretty much “tick”. So is the bracket for the shiny new tv now installed on the wall of the living room..? Nope.
Things fell into place in a rather spooky way, starting with a deluge of snow overnight sunday – 5 whole inches! Since it [...]

Dust bunnies
Another month, another cold spell. Trying to beat the weather at its own game, I decided to clean out Pepper & George’s house this afternoon before the predicted snow fell. The weather won; but despite being barely able to feel my fingers, I managed to get a few quick snaps of the bunnies and hens [...]

Crunchy underfoot
To say we’re in the middle of a cold snap would be something of an understatement. 2009 has started with a lengthy bout of bobble hat weather, and now we have the means to track it. Grumpy Lloyd got a weather station for his birthday, complete with something unpronounceable that measures wind speed, and a [...]

My kitchen smells good
I love baking: it’s like science you can eat. At least, I hope these are edible; I always get that “Is it going to be cooked in the middle?” anxiety whenever I make anything remotely cake-like. Some of these feel squidgier than I’d like underneath, but any longer in the oven and they’d be burnt [...]

It’s oh so quiet
I’m in the middle of a self-indulgent weekend of sleeping in, shopping, and trashy tv. Lloyd is away on a stag weekend (pity the narrowboats of the Norfolk broads), so I’ve just got the animals for company for a couple of days. There’s a great little fire going in the woodburner, Sex & The City [...]

System failure
Things are not working as they should. I’m not referring to my reluctance to emerge from bed at a sensible time in the mornings now it’s getting a bit dark, but slackness on a much larger scale.
Lloyd is struggling to contain his fury at food packet instructions that produce entirely unsatisfactory results – from the [...]

Like a stuffed tomato
After a grey, drizzly and somewhat miserable day, the excuses were running out and Lloyd could resist no longer; the woodburner is GO. It smelled of chemicals and bad things whilst heating up, but that seems to have faded now – and it is nice to have warm hands and toasty toes. Just a pity [...]

Pay attention
Bad things:
People not reading things they should pay attention to and making you do things you don’t want to because you’re too damn polite for your own good.
We hit a rabbit with our van on the way home from the non-reading inattentive person, and I just couldn’t stop crying.
The garden centre up the road with [...]
