Memories of Britain...

Danica asked if my older children remember back home.....and I think the older ones do.....Chris and Laurence certainly do....Susannah loves to look at photographs but I think she remembers more from things we have told her than actual memory....but the boys remember places.....they remember foods and events.....they remember people.....

I've always loved to take photographs so we have plenty of them to remind us of back home....

Crappy weather....

Its so grey and breezy outside - not very nice at all...thankfully after today its supposed to heat up again :) 28 by the weeks end if the weather network this morning was correct!

Today the weather hasn't been too great at all...although we have tried to be outdoors a lot. I checked up on my vegetable garden....we have one quite big strawberry! Yay! I photographed it lol...

I have changed the sugar water in all the hummingbird feeders and they are back hanging up and being appreciated! We saw a male Hummer yesterday! At LAST...we had only seen females but finally a male is here using the feeders.

Lloyd has finished the BBQ so we can have dinner soon :)

Its so muddy outside where the well was dug :( YUCK.....

I have done some laundry.....vacuumed the main floor...tidied up a little.....taken some photographs...watered my tubs...my vines and my house plants...

Dorothy is sick :( I wish I had never moved her...I have checked online and I seem to be doing everything right....but maybe its the temperature? Maybe she doesn't like air conditioning? One of her flowers fell and her leaf is dying....her roots have shrivelled up on the outside too :( I let her dry out between waterings.....I don't have her in direct sunlight...I make sure she has humidity....I feed a quarter strength of the food every 3 weeks and then in between I rinse her through with bottled water to get rid of excess minerals......

She is not happy about something :(

Maybe I should wait until my sunroom is finished and get another....maybe it will be happier there.....

Val - I found your little guys plastic keys in the toy tub today! I will put them to one side until I see you next...when will that be? When shall we do breakfast? Have you decided to go to the scan on Thursday?

At Home Depot this morning we got some new wheelie bins for the garbage......we also bought two large recycling boxes.....I want to get organized again with the recycling...we are getting through so so many plastic bottles of water at the moment - that will ease once the distiller is put in, but we will still use enough to warrant a box for the empties....

I should go and prep the corn ready to put them on the BBQ.....I wanted asparagus but couldn't find any at Save On......But as I was walking back into the fruit and veg section to get a bag of salad, the smell of plums hit me and it was so wonderful I just HAD to seek them out and get some :)

I bought a box of Kashi Lean and Crunchy Cereal too.....its high in protein. I had a bowl for lunch...its ok.....filling I guess......it has bits of granola and bits of puffed wheat etc in it.....I might mix it with my Flax PLus Cereal and see if thats better......

Catch and Release....

Sharon - I really liked Catch and Release...we watched it one evening this past week. I kind of wish she had got together with the one who liked her...he suited her more in my opinion.....but the 'nice guy' never wins huh????

It was a good movie - kind of made me think of how Lloyds mates would be if anything happened to him.....how upset they'd be..they've always been very close. I thought it was really sad that his friend tried to kill himself :(

I love Jennifer Garner...I just think she seems so NORMAL....like you could be friends with her...you know? She just seems really down to earth...even in real life.....I've seen her on Martha a few times...

I LOVE '13 Going on 30'.......

Have you ever met New Mum from LP? Colleen...she's a DOUBLE of Jennifer Garner....aren't you COLLEEN????????? lol! She sometimes reads my blog ;) She's lovely too :) although the pop rock thing was a bit of a shocker ;)

Feelin' sleepy........

I am so sleepy today.......I just feel too tired to do anything....I slept ok and I don't think we had a late night....we sat and watched 'You, Me and Dupree' which was really good until the end when it got really stupid....

Dupree reminds me of my Nephew so so much!

I really need to go and throw some laundry in the machine.....and boil the sugar water for the Hummingbird feeders......I got a new one today! I think I will make a cup of tea and take it out for Lloyd...he's on the porch making the BBQ....

Lloyd told me to go and have anap but I'll feel worse if I sleep now......I think I'll have a bowl of cereal instead...maybe its because I haven't eaten much today.....

Abigail said she saw a baby Hummingbird earlier..said it was really tiny.....I think maybe she imagined it or soe a bee of some kind instead.....

Chris has a bad cold and is feeling fed up.

I have to stop sucking my thumb and go DO something instead of falling asleep here!!!

Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to my Dad, Ken, - a regular blog reader!!! And to Lloyds Dad, Chris :)

I hope you have both had a lovely day!

Happy Fathers Day also, to Lloyd! He is busy on the porch setting up his new barbecue....he HAS to get it done quickly because otherwise we have no dinner tonight!! :)


Its clever really...you give them a BBQ as a gift and they end up cooking dinner on THEIR special day....you've tricked them into cooking dinner and they don't even realise it ;)

Men are so simple :)

lol......and yes I'm just kidding :)

Bathrooms of the world....

This blog is by a guy that left a comment on my running blog......some of his blogs are a little weird...but I thought this one about bathrooms was really interesting!
