Wow, mew. You live right next to the wild. I have to go on holidays for that.  :)     We don't have none of those critters here in Aussieland.  I'm more familiar with Dinzy's Chinese students.

Ram, what a gorgeous bundle of fur. I'm told rabbits eat pretty much anything, though, so start putting all your stuff in tins and suitcases.    ;D

Not my worry after Sunday when I go back to my place. By the time I'll see that eat machine again, he/she/it'll be grown up. The parents of this thing, which was born at home, eat their own sh*t, so it aint going be getting back home any time soon ;D

Larri, bummer. Almost hit the millions. So then, 23 Euros? What demand can be made without it coming off as extrortion?

Snigger

The family now lives not too far away from mine, around 150kms, so I pop in every now and then, this time was for the interviews though and the strike kept me over for the weekend. There's a reason I don't post in the moving house thread, already gone through too many.

I was actually pretty pleased, ram. This was the first time I ever did the Lotto. I had a premonition of a win because a minute after I bought the ticket, I went outside and waited for a gap in traffic at the pedestrian crossing on the Rue de la Loi (since nobody stops for pedestrians here, even at a crossing) and what should drive by but a Lotto-Belisol support vehicle, like the proverbial black cat.  ;D

The psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me this jaw restraint so I won't bite things when I am startled.

The compost pile getting used finally. Will keep composting from the same corner


Figs!



Plum and Fig tree are in. also the the pear tree but it's too little to see



Can't wait till the roses are properly fed and pruned. the idea is the afternoon breeze will waft the rose aroma into the house

Lol fig, strange name 8), yes old guy probably right, we have those trees in Dalmatia. When being without water and fresh in soil when small it looks even worse then yours. For couple of weeks and small amount of water it just flourish again, you never know with fig ;D and olive trees.

Yeah dusty. The cars kick up the dust from the road and the wind delivers it first-class right to my front door ??? The worst is my car. We get a lot of dew at night then in morning the cars start kicking up dust which mixes with the dew then gets baked on by the sun. throw in a healthy handful of bird crap and the car needs to be cleaned every 3-4 days. ha ha lucky I only use it once a week
