Green stuff and fluffy stuff
Marvin helping me with my study
Tried to capture a photo of him in the sink but he thought better
The allotment - a bit windswept
You can just make out Phoebe at the top just above the furthest blue water butt
The allotment is blooming - we're having so much produce coming off it now. Lots of chard, runner beans and now lettuce and tomatoes - I'm beginning to wonder when it will all stop.I'm getting into making my own veg mix every week - with onion, garlic, herbs, runner beans and some tins of chopped tomatoes and sometimes chilli!

Monsters and more
Just got this film at the weekend to watch. It's one of my favourite films and I'm really glad its on bluray now. I think this was one of the first animation films make that had such high definition I remember everyone raving about how you can see the individual hairs on the monsters and I'm not disappointed to see the blu ray edition is even better. Crisp bright pictures and Emily is loving it too. I like the part where one of the monsters is contaminated with a childs sock - kinda explains why we can only find one sock in the washing basket!http://www2.disney.co.uk/DisneyDVDs/DVDs/Monsters_Inc.jsp

Amendments
Ok so maybe we're not expecting just four paws, we are actually expecting 8!
I haven't got any pictures of the other kitty yet as Phoebe is to decide which one she likes. But only 8 more days before I bring Marvin home - oh and I must go shopping for some toys, litter tray, food and a leash - yes you heard a leash. Maine Coons exhibit dog-like traits so I'm hoping to get them used to being on a leash so they can get outside in the garden. I was hoping to buy a cat toilet training system to get them to actually use the toilet in the bathroom but the Dude was not having it!
Anyway here are some piccies from this week :
Burnt looking babes!

Pause
yep eveything is pretty much on paws or pause at the moment! Sorry about the pun but we will soon be hearing the pitter patter of 4 tiny (well not so tiny) paws in the house again.
Meet Majestic Marvin - he's the one on the right (a Maine Coon) He's 10 weeks old at the moment and isn't he absolutely amazing? Look at those tufts on his ears and big paws.
Purrfect! I'm very happy he's coming to live with us :)
What else have I been up to this week - well went shopping and bought some new bedding, nothing exciting really. Met a friend for some drinks, went for a Thai meal with a friend for her birthday, sent my uni assignment in (at last), went to see the film Anti-Christ - not for the faint hearted and only I could laugh out loud at the end! Moved the dvd player to the bedroom as we don't need it in the living room anymore. Was ill - must be a delicate tummy. Went to a spa afternoon in Northampton, dug the allotment and put the lettuce in and harvested 2 courgettes and a couple of runner beans -mmm they tasted really good. And went out last night with the girls for a cocktail and a boogie!
Oh and I organised the garden shed so all the gardening bits and bob are now in one place, I free cycled some stuff but only managed to give away a plastic bin. I did manage to get some more paving slabs for the allotment shed, still no sign of a garden shed on freecycle though. Kinda really really want one now to save me having to lug spade and gardening tools all the time. So if anyone spots a free one needing a good home let me know!
Right I'm off to finish block 3 of my course tonight and drink lots of tea.

I'm tired today

and they grow up
Just some snippets of updates : got extension for University assignment - whoop.
Work went well and project completed on time.
Didn't do the midnight walk in Cambridge last night as I felt I'd been out all day doing gardening, and helping a friend so felt guilty I hadn't spent time with the dude. Not that I did spend much time with him as I fell asleep at 9pm on the couch watching National Treasure - doh!
Allotment looking good after all the rain.
Got more DVD's from the lovely Kerry and Disney - thanks for inviting us to London for filming the kids had an ace time and were very happy with the Disney vouchers. Rainforest Cafe - over-rated a little :( Harrods - weird place !

hmmmmm
It's been a busy week, very stressful too. Work is piling up in the office and the days left to test a new release is getting shorter. As you know I don't talk about my work on this blog but I thought it's been so stressful this week that I'd better blog about it. Not only do we have a new release of software to test, fix, and retest hopefully by the 22nd July I also have another assignment to have finished by the 20th and I've only just been able to start reading the Unit book :( That combined with the housework and it's all getting too much - I'd love to take some time off work to do my Uni TMA but I know that it wont be granted, so I'm guessing over the next 10 days I may be working long hours not only in the office but also catching up on uni work.
Could someone please make a day last a couple hours longer?
But some good news is that Lisa and Paul have just had another beautiful baby girl! Not only another home birth, with birthing pool, but a big baby weighing in at 8lb 11.5oz! A big congratulations to them both.
Right I'm off, ciao :)

why-waste
I forgot to mention where I got my brilliant waterbutts from - http://www.why-waste.co.uk/
Tess was absolutely wonderful, gave me some advice and helped put the barrels in the car too. I thoroughly recommend them! Not only recycling material but even if you add the price of adding a tap to the barrel, for less than £4, the whole thing costs about halfof what other DIY stores sell them for. Bargain :)
