The Mini Evermore bag

This has been a long time coming…but I finally took the plunge and invested in a new, correctly sized bag. I have handbags. I have a camera bag. I also have tote bags coming out of the yin-yan. But I have been looking for a better bag, you might say the holy grail of bags;ContinueContinue reading “The Mini Evermore bag”

Beki Makes Things: We built a fence

This weekend James and I finished our fence. We’d started with one side a few months ago and have now completed the whole thing. We worked solidly Friday evening after work to prep for the fences posts, managing to cement in a few before it got dark. Saturday was a full on day of fenceContinueContinue reading “Beki Makes Things: We built a fence”

Herman the Heartbreaker

After a lot of deliberation James and I decided to get a puppy. We drove to Levin this evening to pick him up :)We brought him home in a pet carrier. He’s so tiny! At the breeders house we sat down and filled in all of the paperwork before leaving with our little Herman. AtContinueContinue reading “Herman the Heartbreaker”

Chick Update 3

I am still the chicken mother of two androgynous chickens…I haven’t a clue whether they’re hens or roosters. It’s driving me mad! I do however, think that Enid is lame. I mean that in a medical sense…she walks in a completely different way to Ziltoid and falls over a lot…maybe she’s just very clumsy…maybe not…butContinueContinue reading “Chick Update 3”

Beki Makes Things: My newest toy

I am an avid AirPoints collector. This is like nectar points of AirMiles, and here in New Zealand you can actually collect quite a few if you go about it the right way. I don’t usually think too much about collecting them, they’re just there and I collect when I can. However, after last yearsContinueContinue reading “Beki Makes Things: My newest toy”

We were expecting a builder.We got a builder, a plumber, a joiner, two men to have a look at the HVAC system and gas fired underfloor central heating system. Phew, thats more people than we’ve had in the house soContinueContinue reading “Thunderbirds are GO!”

Chick Update 2

We seem to be doing okay so far. After three nights of being a chicken mummy, I feel a little less stressed (but only marginally). They seem to be eating and drinking properly. They’re certainly pooping well…they never seem to stop! Who would have thought that something so small could have that much poop! I’veContinueContinue reading “Chick Update 2”

Chick Update 1

I have spent ALL day stressed about the chicks! My main worry is that we won’t be able to keep them warm enough and they will get stressed, or die. I’ve never been required to look after anything so very delicate before. It’s very stressful. So far so good though. They’re very cute. I justContinueContinue reading “Chick Update 1”

I love my garden!

James and I spent time in the garden today, it was lovely! Putting the lawnmower together was a bit of a hassle…we got a few bits slightly wrong and had to re-do them…but it was okay in the end. Who knew putting together such a small amount of plastic would be quite so stressful? JamesContinueContinue reading “I love my garden!”
