9.24pm, nearing the end of Birthday Boxing Day, and a big case of post "very-nice-birthday-indeed" blues.
Had our first veggie crop today! (have previously used some parsley to make a yum tabouli, and a few odd lettuce leaves) but this was the first batch big enough to make a meal! I made broccoli and potato soup, and we ate it with a loaf of turkish bread from the freezer. Very yum (I did worry that I may have missed a bright green caterpillar somewhere in the tight head of broccoli - being a no spray garden means lots of happy bugs!) but I'm sure no-one ever died from eating 1/5th of a caterpillar??!!
Met my lovely Dad for a coffee at Mindarie today with Big Kid and Middle Kid. Dad gave me a fantastic fruit and veggie growing book from the Diggers Club, got very enthused reading through it. Am desperate to grow some berries (blueberries won't work) but perhaps some yum blackberries??
Hubby out tonight listening to a band that could make your ears bleed. I'm off for a bit more tidying, chucking stuff in dryer and then a cup of tea and the last of my birthday Lindt choc .. and hopefully 1/2 hour of craft before I crash! Let's hope Baby kid sleeps all night .. and there you have it, my first ever blog .. didn't hurt a bit!
