Look at those freckles.... :-)

and that's a Scrufty scratch by his eye from this morning.....

Well at least I woke him to say I was going to bed!!!! This was only about 9pm. Last time I left him, and he woke in the middle of the night cold.

Just been out doing the weeding in the veggie patch, and turning the soil, and I dug up a worm that was as thick as my little finger, it looked like something out of a horror movie!!! It was huge! Got to be good for the garden I’m sure, but it was so jolly huge it gave me a fright! A bird would probably choke on it, it was that HUGE!


Not been able to do much else over the last few weeks as its been raining so much the grass is soft and squishy!

We are having beef, wine and coriander done in the slow cooker for tea tonight, the coriander is fresh from the garden wouldn’t you know. Alexander even eats it, he will even try a curry.

Bed time buddies!
This is a usual sight most nights, often Alexander is crampt up the end of the bed while Scrufty and Bobo spread themselves out happily.

Alexander was so pleased to be back at his kindy this morning.


There is a new girl just started this today called Alexandra plus my Alexander, and there is another little boy called Alex.

I never thought that when we named him as a baby that this would happen!

He got a bit miffed this morning as they look for their name on the board and pop it in a basket every day, he said to me that “Alexander is MY name, no one else’s.”

And true to form the weather has picked up, quite nice yesterday, and looking like the same today.



The little 2 year old girl who went missing in Auckland has still not been found, 8 days later. As a mother I can’t even begin to imagine how her parents are feeling. I know everyone is hoping and praying that little Ashling Symes is returned home very soon.

And the stinky weather continues....all the school holidays it has rained and or been to cold to play outside. Now as school and kindy goes back it will fine up.

Stinky weather!!!!


The whole 2 weeks of the school holidays have been raining, windy and cold! Alexander keeps on asking to go outside to play, but really in the 10 degrees and the wind, it really is far too cold.

We are off to the movies this morning to see G Force, I think it’s about 3 guinea pigs, kind of like a kids James Bond I hope...lol

It's where......

trying to get Alexander to look at the lens NOT the flash...lol

taken with my new fisheye lens!

One day.....!!!!!

Those of you who know me well enough are going to gasp and say OMG really!!!!!


I’ve been planting more veggies and today about to plant my 6 tomato plants, ready for summer salads.

We had friends over for dinner on Saturday, David was the first to use the new bread board and to my horror he has gouged big slice marks in it!!!! I nearly died much to the joy of our guests! I now have 2 boards, one for looking at (i.e.: buttering bread and toast only) and one for using! Mental I know.
