Feastage!

Another weekend over and done with way too quickly.. time really flies when you are older. I remember as a kid everything seemed to drag-a-lag.. it was almost like time would stand still.. but now I blink and a whole month seems to go by.. what's up with that huh?

My weekend was reasonable.. Friday night was a complete shitter however, I barely got a wink of sleep due to the doof doof party next door.. if you find yourslef having to scream over the music.. turn it the fuck down! Seriously.. there are other people who live in this building you morons! Why is it that we seem to get fucktards who move in close to us.. or are we just too old? Either way.. if you are gonna have a party don't be complete asswipes about it.

Speaking of neighbourly asswipes.. they have now managed to stuff over the downstairs door so much that it locked us inside! Will the agent actually say something to them this time? I doubt it due to fact that they suck just as much as the neighbourly asswipes! Ugh I wanna move!

Onto a much brighter note tho, I went and had a feast of Crays, Shrimpies, Cheese, Bread & Quiche! with the added bonus of beer to wash it down.. we did buy a New Zealand wine but it wasn't chilled in time so we stuck to the beer.. which didn't bother me. By we I mean, Emma's mum and I.. Emma stuck to cider and Emma's dad hit the hard stuff of cola! lolAfter the feastage we had a little rest and went to different corners of the house before all returning to the feastage table for some Coffee, Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake & Ice Cream! It was quite nice.. the ice cream made a perfect companion. & actually rather filling.. but it didn't stop me from going in for a second little corner piece.. I just had to have that extra bit of crunchy outisde and chewy inside.. you only live once right?
Sunday was spent doing basically nothing.. it felt long and kinda boring, as a Sunday should feel I guess, even Nemo was bored.. so bored that he needed the bottom of the chair to rest his heavy head on...& lastly my hair decided it wanted to look like a rolling wave.. ace!

Clever Police?

Surely there is a better place to park Mr Policeman?You know.. somewhere that other cars don't have to drive on the wrong side of the road to get around you.. & there was very nearly a nasty accident between a bus and a car due to the wonderful parking.

Some Yum Yum!

August has come and nearly gone and I have been slack.. nothing new there. Emma kindly reminded me that I need to do an entry so here goes..

Nothing much has happened as of late.. however I did save a caterpillar from being stomped to death.. and it was a mighty pretty one too.. which you can see here if you wish...
(click me for caterpillar beauty)

The weather has been dying down and darkness is looming, it seems to be dark when we go to bed and get up these days.. total pooey I say but I guess the year must move on by and now its coming time for birthdays and xmas.. ick!


I really haven't been doing much of anything so I don't really have much of anything to write about but I did make a yum lasagna and donut muffins..

I rounded up all the ingredients...
and made this rather yummo vege lasagna...
...Nom Nom Nom!

Then this morning Emma posted a link with a recipe for these.. Sugar Donut Muffins

So I made them for her.. ..and of course I just had to eat the one I pulled apart for the photo and it was rather nice.. I do enjoy donuts but you just can't get decent ones here..

And now I shall end on a sleepy Nemo vid.. enjoy!

Awww.. isn't he just a little darling?!

PigBambiBird!

Friday night, Emma got to play Taxi and drive her brother home from a night of drinking. This year however there were not many many little froggies on the roads.. getting splattered as they got driven over.. but there were other things on the road. Firstly there was the pigs.. wild pigs actually.. 2 of them.. they came out and then they ran down the side of the road until they found a good spot to be able to enter into a property and much on their corn.. they were large. It was a little bit of fun to start of the drive.

Then there was the little bambi that ran out in front of us.. luckily at a safe enough distance that we were in no danger in turning little bambi into flat bambi.. of course it did stand completely still and stare right into the headlights.. as they do.. so Emma turned them off and off the little bambi ran.. ahh bless!

After the little bambi we figured that would be it for the night.. but how wrong we were.. there we were driving along minding our own business when we see a bird.. in the middle of the road.. just standing there.. as we get closer and closer.. it doesn't move.. but it is alive.. otherwise it wouldn't be standing right.. well as it turned out it was sleeping.. not really a clever place to sleep if you ask me! Maybe that bird and the dude who got hit by the train in western Sweden were on the same wave length.. he too took a nap in a stupid place.. on the train tracks of all places.. and he too was lucky to not get dead.. he only sustained a small gash to his head.

Saturday was the last day of the festival.. thank bloody goodness! I watched as the last trucked rollwed out on Sunday afternoon after heading the banging of packing up all day.. now it is just back to the usual noises of cars going way too fast and motorbikes being way too loud.. and kicks screaming as much as they can.. oh and church bells! I could close the door and not hear most of it but in a way I guess it makes me feel alive in this strange little world.

Yesterday I baked cookies.. the Neiman-Marcus cookies and they turned out aok.. 72 cookies is what I got from a half mixture.. noice. They got spread around so that they wouldn't all go in my belly! I must say tho, they were rather yum and I got to fill up my roses tin with cookies for the first time.. didn't last long tho.. with 20 being removed for Emma to take to work.
There is nothing quite like a cookie and coffee.. even Nemo agrees.. however he is after the coffee! Soon he will be going after snus again!

Are You Ready?!

Well it is now that time of the year when the festival is in town.. the hussle, the mess.. seriously is it really that hard to put rubbish in a bin? and of course the noise.. the constant sound of hearing "are you ready?!" coming from one of the rides.. which I am never ready for and completely sick of... 3 years down the track.

But on a brighter note it also means that we get to enjoy langos! & it seems this year there are a few extra food places that we may partake in.. which will be nice. It also means that Malmo festival is just around the corner which I don't think I will be bothering with this year.. but Emma has many plans to go in and check out some bands and prolly eat way too much food.. hmm maybe I should join her for that reason! *ponders*

This weeks seems to be going pretty steady.. boring and steady and Nemo is a little clingy, however currently he is enjoying laying on the balcony.. with the door open, plus Emma isn't home so he wont get locked out.. anyways he is out there looking at cars and people and listening to that wonderful sound that comes from the rides.. including the "are you ready?!" I am so very glad it only goes until Saturday..

Giggling is Good!

oooo I forgot to tell you all about how Emma shut Nemo out on the balcony for like 15mins last night!! who's the shitty mummy now aye?

So anyways.. there we were sitting there enjoying our evening when our yet again new neighbours started smoking out on their balcony and it started to woft into our place, we had our balcony door open, which I know I shouldn't do purely coz then I will have my feathered friends trying to come in.. but it has been hot so we have been having it open a fair bit.. but yeah back to the point, we had it open, they started smoking and it came right into our place so Emma got up and headed off to close the door so that the stink wouldn't keep coming in. Now Nemo must have heard her get up and go out and at some point he managed to get out there without her knowing/seeing and Emma just closed the door all proper..

*fast forward 15mins*

We hear a few barks, I think to myself "that sounded like Nemo" and at the same time Emma thought the same thing... we looked at each other with querying looks on our faces, where's Nemo we wonder.. and so Emma gets up and heads off to look out the window and sure enough it was the little fella who was barking from out on the balcony.. if his barks were put into words they prolly would have been.. "ok jokes over.. let me in!"

Emma opens up and he runs in and comes and jumps on the couch with me and has a little sookie.. poor little fella stuck on the little balcony all by his lonesome.. but alas it was ever so funny and had us giggling for ages.. even this morning I couldn't help but have a giggle about it all over again and now as I type this I am once again giggling..

Giggling is Good!

The Usual Grind

Here I am.. day 1 of being back into the usual grind of things. Emma back at work after 4 weeks of holidays and Nemo back to his usual sookie self.. currently laying on the couch glaring at me, I guess that is something I should get used to again.. no doubt I will.. just like I will have to get used to getting up early again. This morning was a little bit of a struggle and my hair looked like something from Dragonball Z.. noice! I really need to invest in a cap.

I spent most of my morning nearly pulling out my Dragonball Z hairdo.. due to the wonderful iPhone! Or well I should say due to Cydia which is on the iPhone.. but it is partly Apples fault too but yeah anyways.. after several hours of fiddling I finally got it all sorted and back to looking just the way it should be.. with the help of a restore. No more crashing.. for now.

The other part of my morning was spent... cuddling Nemo, walking in the pissing down rain, getting a tad freaked out by the huge loud thunder that even rattled the windows.. luckily it was just a oncer.. coz I didn't want to have to turn the computer off with my phone only 1/2 way through a restore! and also I didn't want to have to walk Nemo with thunder and lightening going on around me.. it was bad enough with all the rain! and lastly this morning I had a go at making some creme brulee.. I am trying to perfect it.. but it just isn't going so well.. maybe I need to try a few other recipes.. it does taste good tho and I guess that is the main thing. Anyways here's the custard.. I wont be doing the topping until eating time!
ooo I just remembered I need to change my sms tone back to something awesome.. rather than some sucky from Apple.. they really need to do something better there and make it easier to change instead of making me re-name my file as one of theres to replace it! and here is another photo just for kicks..
