the outside...

well, i'm sure i said this before... summer is coming, but it has put itself on hold temporarily... stupid stupid.

but we now have a new table to enjoy and some new lovely plants... hooray. hopefully the weather will improve soon so we can use them...

two of the flowers in our beautiful garden... so lovely.
and our table with diane and schelle who helped put it together. it was easy!! and it looks good. sorry, i just realised i don't have a pic of it upright... maybe another time

bring on the BBQ's (and the noise control just before 11pm...)

tribute to the past

ok, so this is davina posting, and this is a tribute to the old housemates that i have lived with in 62 MG... (from my point of view and my time).

first. a lovely day in the sun sometime last year... we all went outside and then door slammed shut... crap, 6 of us on the outside and the keys all inside... BUT, livingroom window open...hurrah!! next time we will bring a set of keys out. anyways, i am just reliving the sun.

math l, lucia, jose and me

i have been in the house since October 2005... man, 1 1/2 years already, how time flies. and in my time here, we have had quite a few different housemates. I moved in with 4 french, 1 spaniard and myself (an aussie)... and here is my first christmas at the house and the mates.

math d, jose, me, clem, marion et louis. my first 62mg chrissie, owwwww, how sweet.

and here are the gang in full...

jose, where i always saw him... in the kitchen cooking... great chef! we used to have afternoon meals together before he went off to work.
math d, what on earth are you doing?? oh, climbing under our fussball table... hurrah!
marion... 'i am soooooo drunk'.
me... make sure you get mu good side.
louis... will he ever become a pilot?? i don't even know if he is trying.
clem, what are you eating???

then in december after christmas, 2 french (louis and marion) moved out and 2 french moved in...
meet math l and angelique
angelique
math l

february, french (angelique) moved out and spaniard (lucia) moved in... new proportions... 3 french, 2 spaniards and me.
lucia

this lasted till july when 1 spaniard (jose) moved out and a fellow aussie (barry, see posting about the house at the moment for photo) moved in.
second christmas in the house...

then in ummm december?? another spaniard (lucia) moved out and another french (diane, same deal with barry, check the older posting) moved in taking the ratio to 1:2... 1 aussie to every 2 french... haha. and that is where we are at today... see all the other postings i suppose.

so this ends my tribute to the old housemates... we salute you!

more of these stupid things...

ok, so i am not being seen to be an animal lover at the moment, but what can you do??

this morning i went out and bought some more sticky traps. I put them down, made breakfast, ate it, came down to make my cup of tea, and found i had caught 2 mice. Now, i had just bought the traps, and they are quite expensive and the two mice were on two different traps. soooooooo, i decided to leave them there (please don't get angry at me for being cruel!!! but we are going to kill them anyways, so is it really that bad???) and then by the time i got home this evening, we had caught another one (this time a big one) on the same trap.... much more cost effective :)

i think it was a mummy come to help her baby... hopefully so.

but mathieu L found out that we get new mummies every 14 days or so.... man, these guys are quick to reproduce.

hopefully we'll get rid of them eventually!
don't worry mum, it's totally fine here!!! our house is clean and tidy with no germs at all!!!!

have a good week everyone!

by the way, our party on Friday 30th March will start at 8:00pm... BYO everything, see you there! please e-mail us if you need our address.

we love these things... our new pets

well, these ones aren't our pets anymore...


but plenty more where they came from. they make a nice addition to our fish. these ones don't need too much looking after though... they do that for themselves. the joys of terraced houses are that they are all joined together, so these little buggers could be coming from anywhere. and even if we get rid of ours, more could come from next door. Hooray!!
