Bunnies and Birdies

Well, birdie in the singular, yes I am going on and on about this, due to my victory on the golf course today, a tiny par 3 course on which I acheived two pars and a birdie...woohoo! Most proud. Also managed to hit a bunny by the bunker with my next shot...ah hem.

Garden is looking fab, my arms however are not so fab due to my naughty rabbit Poppy scratching me to death as I kindly put her outside on the lawn! Out in the rain she goes tomorrow then!...making it short and sweet this time, off to cook spaghetti and Eurovision it up. Can't wait, I'm sure Andy Abraham will win it for us. Yes, I am sure.

All things green and beautiful...

The sun is shining wahaay! going to the garden centre with my mother today, she's going on holiday tomorrow so I'm making the most of her and her advice about plants. Hope the rain holds off until tomorrow as I am also picking up my sticks again and playing golf this afternoon...well attempting to play. It has been a long time.

Things I must also do today that will end up being left until Monday:

Washing, again.
Ironing the last two loads of washing.
Cleaning...ahh that word that comes around far too often, surprising how much dust two people can generate in the space of a week.
Painting...this is something I should do today! Have started a new painting of Olivia, 6, and well I haven't exactly got very far.

We shall see how the day progresses.

Object of Desire

Just quickly, for those who are interested...well, you probably aren't but you should look anyway, I recently discovered the wonderous instrument that is the Sousaphone.

New Venture

So, here it is, after much deliberation I have begun my own blog. I am very much an amateur when it comes to unknown prospects, none moreso than this.


Being a Friday afternoon and knowing I do not have to work tomorrow has enlightened my mood beyond belief. It is the most depressing thing I have decided, having to work weekends, and my aim for my next job is never having to succumb to this again. My reasoning for detesting working is, purely and simply, because I like gardening. As sad as it sounds, my newest hobby (bar this one) is nuturing my plants and looking after my rabbit-munched lawn. If you aren't into it already, then buy yourself some herbs, stick them in a window pot and go wild. Trust me, it's fun.
Chinese tonight, my first since being in Hong Kong nearly three weeks ago!- cannot wait. mmm, I can smell the noodles already from my not-so-beloved desk at work.
