Holiday time is over for Whitesnake and I, time flies when you're having fun. I missed half of it because I was sick with a cold but I'm feeling much better now. We had a few nice meals out, caught up with my parents, watched a few movies and had lots of sleep. It was really relaxing and fun.
Whitesnake celebrated his birthday with a few friends, ( I was in bed).

He went for a couple of interviews during his time off and I'm pleased to report, he starts a new job soon. I'm so proud of him.
Our veggies are growing really well. I'm so excited about this because I haven't been able to grow much in the past. I remember one time when I was younger, doing the weeding while my ex was at work, I thought I was doing great but apparently pulled out most of the flowers and left the weeds behind. Ex was not very happy and it put me off doing any more gardening. Seems like I do have a green thumb after all and I'm really enjoying looking after my babies and watching them grow. You can read more and see more pics or our veggie garden here.

Speaking of pigs, there is to be a new animal welfare code in NZ to stop pregnant sows being kept in crates. Yay! There's still much to be done regarding animal welfare and farming but this is a huge step in the right direction. I remember a while ago, signing a card (along with many Kiwis) and sending it to my MP and thinking, this is probably a waste of time, nobody listens to the people but something was actually done this time. Fantastic news!
P.S. Kiwis - don't forget to observe 2 mins silence at 2pm in remembrance of the Pike River miners.
Hope you are all well.
Love KB

ReplyDeleteGood for you for taking on the garden again! It's fun to hear from folks who are in the middle of their summer. It's the great white north up here right now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Still no word on the miners huh? I haven't seen anything on the news over here about it, my only updates are through the net.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Whitesnake!
oh i would love to eat a fresh strawberry right now...but we only have snow in the garden at the moment...
ReplyDeleteWhy is it we always get sick on vacation? I think it's that "life isn't fair" rule.
ReplyDeleteI, too, enjoyed gardening this year. This winter I am enjoying feeding the birds. I never seemed to have time for this stuff when I was younger, but I am much enjoying it now.
sounds like fun, sorry you didnt feel well the entire time.
