Ok, to fill you all in on just why my posting has been pants for the last few months and why I’ve been so ill and why I’ve barely posted anything else. You see, when you have something big happening in your life it’s all you want to write about – especially on a personal blog like this, but no..
My beloved has been adamant that we shouldn’t tell people our news until after we’ve had the first scan and know for sure that everything is ok – I’ve not been able to blog or stay online because it’s just too hard to keep the secret to myself, but Friday night he went out with all his male cousins and they got to hear the news in the pub – even though we won’t be going for the scan until tuesday..

February 24th, 2008Banana cake
March 18th, 2007Today I have reigned supreme in the kitchen.. Only because himself wasn’t here of course, but supremely reigning I was indeedy.
I have made the lightest, tastiest banana and pecan cake ever. Seriously – it’s to die for. It could be because I used half the sugar I normally do, it could be because I used eggs laid by the most cossetted chickens in the country (now hows that for knowing where your food came from eh?!) or maybe it’s because I finally got wise to the vagaries of our cooker and managed to not burn the bottom whilst leaving the middle undercooked (as usually happens)
High school musical
January 27th, 2007I’ve seen this thing everywhere – and I do mean everywhere, Claire started talking about it tonight because apparantly all her kids love it (by ‘her kids’ I mean the ones she teaches music to) so I asked her what the deal was – this sparked off a huge discussion with her sister about the best tunes and why it reminded them of the brit school etc etc
Dirty weekend in Durham
January 22nd, 2007Well, not really a dirty weekend, but it sounds good *grin*
One of Stef’s friends got married on Saturday, we had to go really – he made Stef do a reading at the wedding (which he got through in magnificent style despite his qualms about using the word ‘foibles’ *chuckle*) When we tried to book a room at the hotel where the wedding was being held there seemed to be none available so we booked a cottage in West Aukland instead:
Christmas crashes and goodwill to all men
January 5th, 2007On the whole I’ve not had too bad a holiday season, good company, great food and many a gift all combine to create a feeling of general goodwill, the only fly in the ointment was this crappy illness rearing it’s ugly little head and preventing me from seeing my bestest bud.
Gauchos
March 21st, 2006Ick.
I had a full blog post in my head, it was sat there eagerly awaiting escape to the net.
But it’s gone.
*sigh* my head is so full of holes these days I can’t seem to retain a thought for more than 5 minutes.
I’m blaming therapy (even though I’ve only been once) I have to go back today with my excersize diary. I lead an incredibly boring life.
It’s true. The most interesting parts of my week are the driving lessons. If I’m not reading or beading then I’m online, I crash around 3 times a week and according to this, dizzy spells occur at least twice a week and the pain is a constant with several ‘spikes’ of nastiness occurring intermittantly.
So despite doing nothing anyway, whats the betting this bird tells me I’m doing too much? *sigh* I only do about 5hrs worth of walking in a week and it’s generally just to do shopping or walking to the pub (when I go, that seems to have dwindled down to maybe once a month now)
fud and a request
January 25th, 2006This was going to be an audio post but then I figured I’d take pity on your poor ears and not bother – mainly because I started yawning after every other word and sitting silently for a few minutes attempting to think of something to say.
Pants eh?!
new things
December 29th, 2005I’ve realised something very important this year.
Pumpkin seeds are very tasty indeed.
*grin*
Can you believe that I never knew you had to crack the shell before eating seeds?
I’ve always thought people who ate that stuff were loopy because it just tasted like dry nastiness whenever I’d tried them, I’d pick one up, think it was a bad idea, then be proved right as I hacked and spat the husk out of my mouth while gasping for water to swill the remains away with.
Stef didn’t half laugh at me when he found out – now I’m addicted to the bloomin’ things.
google rule the www
August 25th, 2005Hmm… I’m beginning to think that Google are trying to take over the webiverse.
I know – you already knew that, what can I say? I’m a little slow.
Anyhow, if you want to try the new google talk thing but seem to be lacking a gmail account (um…Why?) don’t worry – both K and I can hand ‘em out like toffee.
…Invites that is, not toffee. Neither of us are made of money y’know!
Valentines the first
February 15th, 2005My bloke is truly a complete and utter darling.
True… By 8pm I’d decided that he’d fallen asleep and forgotten he was coming over to do a ‘valentines thing’ with me.
Then he rang and said he’d lost track of time apologies etc… fair enough – at least he was awake (yes, he did that once before so I am at liberty to remind him of it every time the opportunity presents itself, I love being female *grin*)
