Going out and vegging.

Dash enjoying a sunny day in the bunny run

I really thought I did practically nothing this week..nothing. But then I remembered I did do a lot of grooming and clipping of angora rabbits, dyeing of yarns and fibres , reading and I totally forgot I had put a new veggie patch in that I filled with tomatoes, chillies, capsicums and basil: call it my Mediterranean veg patch. Very happy with my veggie and herb patches. Especially now that the slugs and snails decided to go to my newly opened Irish beer pub (read : can filled with beer and water and sugar) rather than destroy my seedlings. I am especially happy with the herbs I planted last season and are doing very well. I needed them to, because of the latest bout of throat anguish I was so happy my sage was there to make a wonderful tea infusion. The lemon balm is great for cooling down on those warm days and the oregano and basil are amazing in my pastas: nothing better than fresh pesto ;-) Cannot wait til my jalapenos and habaneros are firing up !!

the HOT veggie patch

I finally bought some solar garden lights (mainly because they were on sale ..lo. and looked very nice too..and thought well, if it works for the garden why not in the house? Unfortunately the light output is not all that flash but still, in times when there are power outages here (read: often) they will come in handy ;-) I will just make a bouquet of solar lights: very romantic ..lol

Apart from that I am afraid there is nothing really much exciting going on this week: my cricketball gland in my neck dimished to the size of a very small ping pong ball and I am trying to boost my immune system with olive leaf and lots of vitamins and herbs. I feel lots better than last weekend I tell ya but, there is still a loooong way to go and I am sure that if I do not pace myself I will push myself off the cliff again. I have to tell myself work will always be there and whether you do a lot or not, there will always be stuff waiting for you.
I am a terrible procrastinator at times though and leave almost everything to the very last minute. Why is that ? I mean, I like deadlines and they get me going, but the way I do it is just ridiculous. No, I will definitely have to change that! How? Well, I will have to procrastinate on that..lol..

I am looking forward to a very nice weekend starting tonight, when Paul and me are going to see the new Harry Potter movie: so looking forward to a night out ! You will guess by now that all the fibres and yarns are Harry Potter inspired..lol…but you probably have guessed that already.

So without keeping you on the edge of your seats: get ready to drool and snaffle! There is only a small supply of …so please contact me by email (ixchel@rabbit.com.au) or on www.ravelry.com where I am Ixchelbunny or even message me on www.flickr.com where I am also known as Ixchelbunny. Drum roll !!!!!!!!!! here is this weeks fibre update !!!!!
