13 Moons part 2 - Freebird & Frugabulous

Lula-Hula

Bob - many thanks for your very sensible thoughts on the grocery spends. I will try harder, honest I will .

Dan - hello again, Gordon is with me tonight so you'll have to find someone else to play with .

Thanks for your sensible thoughts on family matters. I really do get myself worked up over things & they're rarely as bad as I think they'll be. Finances were not even mentioned & the 'significant' date was only mentioned briefly & I managed to acknowledge it but without getting drawn into a deeper conversation. All good then

This afternoon we had our bbq & it was fab - if I do say so myself. It's only the third time we've used the big beast bbq I bought last year & although I do admit that size wise, it's better suited suited to a person with a wider circle of friends & a far more active social life than me, we certainly dont go hungry :rotfl:.

There is something very satisfying about cooking & eating outside & it please me greatly.

Another thing that pleases me, is having sowed my carrot & parnsip seeds :j. If anything actually grows, I will be delighted. Astounded, but delighted . I could really get into this home growing. There's something very deeply fulfilling about digging over a patch of earth, preparing it by removing all the stones, weeds & roots, adding a bit of compost, popping all the seeds in, gently covering them with a layer of soil & then watering them in.

Obviously, having done the last bit with great care & attention, there was a torrential downpour within a couple of hours. It was savage; lightning, thunder, wind & fabulous glorious splodges of giant rain. DD jumped into her wellies & rushed outside to dance about in it. I just hope my little seeds havent been washed away :undecided

I'm now looking forward to having my last 2 lie ins before the return to the bad place on tuesday. No plans for tomorrow other than helping DD eat her chocolate - my aunt sent a cheque for DD for easter eggs, but I'm putting it in the bank to add to the laptop fund.

Nearly a whole Gordon has slipped down while I've been typing this so I'd better find something to soak it all up.

Can we not both have Gordon at the same time?

Again, we're talking about gin, everyone!

I have now hidden all the mini eggs for DD to find tomorrow. I took the precaution of writing down where I've hidden them all ... last time I hid them after playing with Gordon (gin, not gnome) I forgot where & we were randomly discovering them for weeks after ! I'm still not sure how one got into the shed though. Even more impressively, I've only sampled one. So far.

I tend to avoid most fizzy stuff for the same reason, but this warm weather & tropical rainfall we had earlier has made me realise that anti-malarial precautions would be wise

Yes, I'm sticking with that one.

Hmm had never thought of it that way before. I did think about the extra *windage* being used to annoy Mr.B- (especially if he is snoring again- which he is as i can hear him down here) It would be a sweet revenge

Dan29

*Burp*

Lula-Hula

A revenge both sweet & cunning.

Sympathy on the snoring OH, pretty unbearable

Another good reason for continuing to live solo

Gordon has numbed my brain, so time to rest it for a while,

G'night
