And not the kind I like – worms have attacked my veggie garden. The annoying thing is that I can’t actually find them so don’t know what exactly has eaten all my lettuce and peas. All I know is that they are quite ferocious little critters! Hmph, I was really looking forward to fresh peas [...]

This weekend flew by!!!
It might be because now that I am not getting up with the sparrows at about 4 I actually have less weekend hours, who knows.
But all in all it was pretty good. On Friday night I just relaxed and watched TV. Saturday I worked in the garden a bit then snoozed – [...]

I don’t really have very much to say at the moment.
My In-laws came down for the weekend and bought us a cot for the baby, which was very nice of them. It was also nice to see them as we don’t meet up that often – maybe twice a year. Mr OL’s mom is so [...]

Tonight we are going to a couple cooking class. The theme is Vietnamese (what do they eat???) Should be interesting, I really enjoy cooking and so does Mr OL. Although I think he is a bit worried – giving his pregnant wife a large knife when she is still not that charmed with him at [...]

It is funny how little you actually “speak” to the people you live with – or maybe that is just me.
This morning Mr OL and I were having a conversation. Not the best timing I must admit, as we were both rushing to get ready for work, but sometimes it is not about the time [...]

Can you believe there were actually other herbs under all of that. I can once again see my thyme, sage and origanum. I even found some lavender shoots.

It is another long weekend here – woo hoo! The 9th is Woman’s Day but because it falls on a Sunday we get Monday off. It is quite pleasant because it means next week is another short week for me – 4 day work weeks I can just about cope with. (yes, I know – we [...]

What can I say – my dogs are clever! There is no keeping them out of an area that they want to “explore”.
Last night Mr OL put up the barrier across half the garden to keep the dogs out of the area with the freshly laid grass. This morning he got up and looked outside [...]

The Picture of Innocence?
Well the garden did not look too bad. A few holes dug here and there but pretty much still intact.
It turns out that Mr OL is not so much of an optimist after all. He has ordered about 50 meters of road barrier tape to keep the dogs out of the newly [...]

I am dreading going home today!
Well, it’s not so much that I am dreading going home, more like I am dreading what I will see when I get home. Mr OL had grass laid in our backyard over the weekend.
The reason we needed new grass is because the dogs destroyed the old stuff. A combination [...]
