Saturday night

Today I drove to Ballarat for ballet and then to Woodend in the afternoon to take Lucy to meet my mum. They are off to Hobart tomorrow to visit my brother and his family. For brief moments along the way we experienced Actual Blue Sky. Wow!! I'm feeling a tiny bit of Spring in the air, although it has been freezing most of the time.

What's been happening in your world? My kids have been sick with tummy stuff and now Rosie has a chest infection. Poor thing, she can't stop coughing. So we have been playing lots of games to cheer her up..

and watching our favourite show, Arthur. Gee I love Arthur and his cheery song, it gets me every time.

I can't wait till the weather is better and we can spend more time outside. I miss hanging out more with the pets and playing in the garden.

Can you see Pepper is missing me?

Or is she just looking for scraps? Guinea pigs are such good little waste disposal units. They love all the apples skins and cores and they adore strawberry tops. Between them and the chooks and our rabbit we manage to have very little food waste. And they are so cute aren't they?

Speaking of chooks we have had a recent death in our chook family.

Our beloved rooster, Tiger, broke his leg recently and never really recovered. He staggered around bravely and looked ok for a while but he died overnight on Friday. As Rosie said, "he went to sleep and never woke up." Poor Tiger, I had a little tear or two when I found him as he had been with us since he was an egg and then a dear little chick.

We'll miss you Tiger.

Back in bunny land I had a brain wave (doesn't happen often) re my boy bunnies. I have had a few requests for boy bunnies lately so I'm looking for ideas to make them unique. A quick visit to the opshop and bingo! A cute pair of baby overalls that I turned into bunny overalls. yay!

Once he gets his stripy ears on he'll be looking good. I've also finished a new girl bunny who is hopping over to the shop tonight. Holly is a real sweetie and super cuddly.

What have you been up to this weekend? Did you vote? It's quiet at our house tonight as Mark is over at Phillippa's (please immediately have a look at her latest post...I couldn't stop laughing, she is so funny) election party with Billy & Sunday, Lucy is at Mum's, Char is at a movie with a friend and Rosie is tucked up in bed. I'm going to watch a bit of the election coverage, which could either put me to sleep or keep me up all night! Hope you are warm and snug wherever you are, have a happy Sunday xo
