MIA

I feel like I've neglected my poor blog lately. I am so distracted right now, I can't even come up with a coherent post so here it is in bullet points.
  • Grant's parents are still with us, although they will be leaving late Sunday night / early Monday morning.
  • I'm busy with a decorating project and will post it as soon as it's done, so watch this space!
  • I am ready to throttle the cat who keeps on coming into our garden and using the vegetable bed as a litter box - who wants to grow food in a litter box?? And who wants to keep planting things because the stupid cat scratches up the seedlings while it's doing its business? GRRR!!! We've tried putting down pepper which seems to help except that we've had a lot of rain lately so it's all been washed away. GRRR!!
  • Grant and I went here, which was enjoyable, and he made me go on this, which was NOT. Watch the video and see the scariness. And then be impressed at how brave I was :oP
  • I went back to Weight Watchers and was SHOCKED AND APPALLED at my weight. Seriously. Am stunned into action and have turned over a new leaf. (Thankfully I am still within Gold Member range so don't have to pay, but that will change soon if I don't put the brakes on my eating.)
  • We had my friend Taryn (who I met when I started Primary School, oh, 27 years ago) and her boyfriend Kent to stay for a couple of days. They live in New Zealand, so we had fun grilling them for information. Taryn never.ever.changes. Seriously. She looks exactly the same as she did in high school. It's uncanny.
  • They were houseguest 11 and 12 of the year. I'm not even kidding.
  • As much as we've loved having everyone to stay, I am looking forward to having the house to ourselves and getting my head straight and back into routine.

  1. wow, you are truly a bionic woman. But on the upside, when your kitty litter veggies come in, you'll have plenty of houseguests to feed them to :)

  2. I'm glad you'll have a break soon! It's so fun having people over, but so many over such a short time would be hard. The cooking alone would be enough to wear me out! I'm looking forward to seeing your current project.

  3. Hi, I've been reading your blog for just ages, but have never commented 'till now. Have you tried sprinkling your garden with cayenne pepper or freshly ground black pepper? Cats seem to hate that and it won't harm your veggies. Just a thought! And if you need any info on moving to Brisbane, Australia (its deliciously warm here all year round!) then I can definitely help you out. Thanks for a great blog, love reading about your goings on. Jen.

  4. Jen, thanks for the pepper tip, as you can see above we tried it and it seemed to work but we've had a lot of rain lately and it just washes it away. Now that the rain seems to have stopped I can put down the pepper again. I used black pepper, but I'll try cayenne if the black pepper stops working.
