Sunday and I've skipped a day. It's been a hard week at work and I was so tired yesterday that I didn't do anything.
We had exciting news in that our youngest got 8 GCSEs. I can hardly believe it since no work was done whatsoever. A congratulatory Nintendo Wii is being bought all the same.
Other exciting news is the arrival of two new kittens soon. Photo's should be in the blog next week.
I'm no further on with my craft projects but I'm attending a craft exhibition on Friday which I hope will kick start me into doing something. Plus it's Bank Holiday Monday this week so I get a long weekend and should be able to find some energy from somewhere.
All the buns are out in the garden and enjoying a vigourous sit. The family are all in bed because it's seven o'clock in the morning. I'm enjoying the peace and quiet of the house with no disturbances.
There's such a lot to think about with the house. So much to do, it's overwhelming. Then theres the rest of my life. So much to organise, I just want to curl up in a corner whenever I think about it. How do people find the energy and enthusiasm to do these things? I must find some focus. As the fly lady says 'Every day is a GIFT' Goddess, Imagination, Focus and Trust!

Saturday again already

Well here we are on Saturday again. I still haven't started any of my craft projects. The week is so packed with work that I don't seem to have any energy on weekends. I haven't even done any photography.
It's been a long week and getting stuck at Gatwick because of a delayed plane didn't help.
Enough moaning! I have a weekend of bunnies to look forward to. Outer buns are becoming a bit more daring and have added the steps to the house as places they're prepared to travel too. I don't think it will be long before they're in and out of the house itself. Can't see Cara being amused but she'll get over it.

Lazy Saturday

I'm having a lazy Saturday, but then that's the norm for Saturdays.
Daughter no.3 brought her washing down and it's all done and drying in the garden. Bunnies are fed and are currently hiding from the sun in the shade. Beloved husband has yet to get out of bed despite it being almost 4 in the afternoon. I'm playing on the computer.
I've made plans to make some stuffed toy rabbits as Yule presents but I'm not convinced that I like the pattern I've downloaded. I may have to think up my own. Also hoping to make some recycled paper notebooks which should be fun. I want to make the paper myself to make it even more of a homemade gift.
We're definitely in Limbo at the moment waiting for the mortgage to go through. I feel like I can't do anything until it's here which is of course nonsense since I could get on with quite a lot of things. I just don't feel like doing anything.
I may have a play in photoshop at doing some digital scrapbooking.

Green and Organic

I've spent the morning looking for organic vegetable delivery schemes. We used to have a box of organic veggies delivered every week and I'd like to get back to it. The more I think about 'green issues' the more I feel that I have to take some responsibility for how much we take from this planet. It's so easy to go to Tesco's but it's not really the healthiest option. I'm leaning more and more towards simple meals with seasonal vegetables and I'd like to know that the food is sourced as locally as possible. Plus there's the meat side of things. I've toyed with the idea of becoming vegetarian for ages and whilst I could, my other half certainly can't. Too many food allergies mean that there's no way to survive on veggies alone. It still leaves me with the worry about what's going into the meat though so organic again seems to be the way forward.
Having done some basic research I'm starting to think that it would actually be easier to join a 'box scheme' and order on line. It would fit in better with my lifestyle and free up more time usually spent getting stressed in the supermarket. It seems that you can buy just about anything off the internet anyhow. Definitely something to think about further and discuss with the other half.
I was reading a blog the other day that said for every litre of Coke produced, it takes 250 litres of water. Seems a bit over the top, but that figure does include how much water is used to water the sugar crop. Even so...Coke is now off the list and I'm sure I'll be a lot healthier for it.
I'm also going to have to seriously think about growing salad crops for the bunnies. It'll be so much cheaper and if I'm going to buy more expensive food for us, then bunnies will have to have home grown. I don't have enough garden to grow veg for us but I should be able to keep the bunnies going, in summer at least.
