Weekend

Ooops! As I decided to write another post, I saw that I hadn't published the last one! Sorry!


The past two days were overcast, yet it was still hot - although not quite 40 degrees anymore! And not a drop of rain came down! Both days, all day, it looked like it would start raining any minute ... nothing. With the rain hanging in the air, it's also humid, so: not too pleasant.
Sunday, I quite enjoyed relaxing without any 'must' chasing me - no 'must' bake bread for the week's lunch, no 'must' wash the floor or laundry or wait another week, no 'must' at all!

On Saturday, I experimented with another bread mix. I used the cheese bread recipe and added fresh basil as well as bacon cubes! That turned out really delicious! I used most of it as a pizza base - which also turned out delicious. 

I still haven't processed the watermelon - and I'm not feeling guilty about it! That's a new one, he he. I normally have a guilt complex when I'm not productive. I'm getting better, though!

I had put the sour milk into the bowl to make butter ... and, even though I covered it with a wax sheet plus held it down with the baking tray ... blerry flies got in! I eventually had to throw it out! 

Mippies are having regular cuddle attacks! Mewthos comes running & mewling wanting to be picked up, Ziva comes running and mipping wanting her roly poly tummy tickled. Janey comes running and mipping wanting to be picked up. Mini just turns onto her back every time I'm near wanting her tummy tickled!

A walk around my garden is still unpleasant. The grass tickles my ankles and all the hoppies hiding among it jump and bite me! I really wish it would rain, so that I can clear that up! I do pull out patches every evening, but I can't get the roots, of course, so it will grow again in no time!

Mewthos came back from a walk with a bloody cheek again! Oh, and proudly brought a hoppy, too! Sigh, I don't know what he does to himself! This is the ... what, third time? Or is it the fourth? It looks like his fur simply got ripped off - but he doesn't seem bothered by it at all! I let him play with his hoppy and when he was done, held him down, cleaned the wound and put ointment on it! He was NOT happy!

I keep hearing the crackling noise which is driving me nuts! Eventually I tried to find out where it's coming from ... turns out, it's in my ear! I have no clue why, or what, but yeah. Well, at least it's just a crackling noise, and not permanent - better than me cackling, eh?

Saturday night I woke around one, feeling somewhat hungry. So, I got up, had a slice of pizza, drank some milk, sat at the PC and eventually went back to bed. Doesn't sound worth writing about - but it's a delightful abnormality for me! Normally, if I wake in the middle of the night, I try my best to just go back to sleep - for fear of oversleeping the next morning! Actually getting up, all relaxed, doing whatever I feel like? That's novel!

Saturday night I still hoped for rain, but Sunday night I gave up hope and watered the garden.
