i'm still here!

i bought myself a second hand vegetarian cookery book a week or so back, it's the Sainsbury's vegetarian cookery book and its actually really good. I've made four recipes from it so far. Erm onion and avocado pear salad, bean sprout salad the later i had twice (I've never been a salad gal but these were nice) i made chunky pumpkin soup and cauliflower cheese. Now the cauliflower cheese was disgusting but i think that was my fault rather than the recipe.
Well for the last few weeks I've been looking for a new job, i still have my old job don't worry, but i would really like to try something new, something more helpful. I'm applying for veterinary nurse jobs, I'm also interested in learning to do raki. It sounds interesting. Perhaps I'll find a veterinary practise that believes in it. one can only live in hope, although i suppose i could do raki on humans too, although i prefer animals.
i get my first viewing in my rented house (no pets allowed) soon, must do some cleaning and erm other stuff. I've been putting off the gardening for a while now, I've got a lot of spring bulbs to plant and I'm running out of time, same with my over wintering onions, although to be honest they didn't work out too well for me last year so I'm not too worried about those. Did i tell you i've got a new cat? No! Well shes almost certainly temporary as my house mate found her on the door step, the house mate was eating a bagel and the cat actually jumped at her and stole the bagel out her hand! She was starving! and shes possibly pregnant. sign. I've put found notices up at the pet shops in town and i hope someone gets in touch. She eats and eats and eats and then farts. We open the door every morning to see if she goes home but she won't. Might have something to do with the tuna and stake my house mate feeds her. oh how little control we have in our lives. I really really didn't intend to get another cat for a good while yet. Oh well, i suppose its a good thing that the house mate has 'claimed' the cat as her own. i just hope i don't have to use a crowbar if the real owners show up for our little farting cat.
Well thats all for now, wish me luck.

At work until ten pm won't be home until 11:30. Sucks! my bedtime is 8pm for crying out loud.

four days of nastiness

but i think i see a grimmer of sunshine.

I think i have swine flu....

been staying at the parents house for two days I've been in bed since 6pm last night and i just woke up. i have work today and i don't know what to do!!! What if it's just a regular cold with a head ache, runny nose, cough that's worse than any cough I've ever had before. Terrible back and leg ache etc. oh what to do.

i smell of basil

might have something to do with the fact that I've been pinching out the little white flowers.
Anyway. As soon as the rose hips have finished their long soak (they come out on the 14Th) the 2lbs of apricots will be taking their place. Well next year (touch wood touch wood) should be a good one. one gallon of blackberry, one of raisin, banana, rose hip, apricot, carrot, parsnip and then I've got a mixture of sloes and plums in the freezer. Well I'll try most anything at least once.

yesterday i started the very long process of making rose hip wine.

After two and a half days of picking them. Three hours of chopping them nine days of soaking them, and ultimately two years of aging them, Well i hope that its worth it.
Well only the soaking stage and the aging stage left to do.
Black berry and elderberry wine next. A wine that will only take six months, now that's almost fast.
But on a lighter note, the raisin wine should be drinkable for Halloween.
No still no Internet, this is dads computer again. Hopefully when I've got the net I'll be able to tell you in detail the stuff that I've been getting up to.

still no internet. Soon though soon. This is my broken laptop at the parents so very difficult to keep internet attached. yeah but still alive.
