i did learn today that flies do it doggy style. they were at it on my rubbish bin. get out! who knew? but enough of that.
i've lost 6.1 kg. don't forget the .1, that's what i gained last week. i don't understand as i've followed the program really well (notice i don't say to a t?) i've been very good. my pants are too loose and are uncomfortable. i don't like wearing a belt but i may have to buy one. i only have one, i got it in bali for 100,000 rupes. it's a quicksilver but it's a fake for sure. i got it from a friend as a favour. i know it's way too much. i keep meaning to give it to my son or at least someone who may be able to use it. i may take it back to bali in February and give it to my friend over there. he'd wear it but he'd have to cut half of it off to fit.
my herbs are doing fairly well. i had salad for tea with basil and parsley from my garden. how proud am i? wow. the rocket i planted is not doing so well, i think it's in flower. weird as i bought it a few weeks ago as seedlings. the chives are ok i think. they dry out very quickly so i have to water them daily. isn't it great that the weather report has been amended and it's not going to be 39 tomorrow but in the low 20s all week. then it's warming up i think.
i saw my indo. teacher yesterday. we went to another student's house to view her quilts. omg, they were magnificent. beautiful japanese fabrics, all natural fibres and just beautifully done. i can't afford one so bought a handbag instead. i need a new handbag like i need another hole in my head but you know how it is. it's really very special. gorgeous.
that's enough from me for the moment. i have not been up to much. hopefully it will be a quiet week. my tooth was hurting a bit but is better now, just a little bit sensitive. have a good one everyone, hope the week is good to you. bfn
Good Morning! Isnt it a buzz 'growing your own'. I have salad everyday, love picking my basil, parsley, mint and lettuce. We got 4 peas and 6 beans (gave these to Mum!) Spinach didnt take off, tomatoes coming along nicely. Coriandar grows easily and is a must for curries. Love your Bali stories. Jenny (my friend) brings back tapestry bags etc. and sells them at the markets.
ReplyDeletehi minerva, i know a couple of people who buy bags over there and sell them here. they are in demand. i keep meaning to put a tomato in. a cherry one i think. i'll get one on the weekend. the basil was very tasty. yum.
ReplyDeleteMy dad has decide to start his own veggie garden so looking forward to some home grown veggies next year.
ReplyDeleteLike you I don't like to wear a belt, have done so a few times when I have lost weight and my jeans don't fit I really wish that would happen again....If only I didn't like my food so much...lol
Hello (not sure what to call you here haha) growing things is always an achievement, I am not a big achiever, all the plants I put in out the front were taken over by spreading daisy bushes that decided to resurface. My dad grows herbs but throws them with abundance into any and all dishes so sometimes things don't seem quite right, nothing like home grown cherry tomatoes though. Been busy lately, kids now do taekwondo twice a week so I make use of the local ymca gym, plus they play soccer twice a week, xmas shopping and a course through work and I am really starting to appreciate free time. Hope all is well, take care and I will catch up again xx
ReplyDeletehi kerri, how nice to hear from you. you are such a stranger in blogland. just coz you have a life. hahaha. you certainly sound busy with the kids and the gym. good for you. i must plant some tomatoes this weekend. it will be too late soon. :) i haven't started christmas shopping yet. it fills me with dread. i know what to get the kids but everyone else is a bit of a problem. hopefully i'll talk to you soon. my addy is yevisha@yahoo.com.au if you feel like emailing anytime. take care. bfn
