Veggie patch

It is a Sunday night, and I am sitting in the living room in my brother's place waiting for him to whip up a yummy dinner. We are here because it is the Masterchef finals tonight. The past week was not all that great for me. Work was shit. I did not feel productive at all. And with my social life, I felt the same. As if I did not achieve much...despite the fact that I was busy most of the weeknights. Here is why:

First, we watched Harry Potter on Tuesday night, and the speakers were broken in the cinema. We were so annoyed because it was the last Harry Potter (we have watched all the Harry Potter movies religiously) and we could hardly hear what they were saying. Haha Two and a half hours later, we got a refund from Hoyts. But still, it felt like a waste of time on a Tuesday night..!

Thursday night I joined my colleagues for our company trivia night. The trivia was fun, but the venue was shit. Dinner was provided and the place was near the red light district of the Melbourne CBD, hence the dim lights, shit food and shit drinks. My team came in last too, which did not seem to make things any better. I went home with a wooden spoon >.<

Friday night, I was already quite tired and sleepy from the late nights before, but I promised Little Miss-Whats-For-Lunch that I would watch Harry Potter with her in Crown casino. The show only started at 9pm.. and so.. I tried my best to stay awake, and watched the same movie again, twice in the same week. I got home at nearly 1am on Friday night, and I had to bake a cake and make vegetarian curry puffs for my Buddhist dana lunch on Saturday morning. I have no idea if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but Grumpy had also just got home from after work drinks, he was so pissed drunk, yet he was helping me make the filling for my curry puffs. We finished by around 2.30am.. and I was up again by 7.30am on Saturday morning, to bake the curry puffs. Grumpy woke up that same morning complaining of mild food poisoning (he woke up a few times through out the night to go to the toilet). He said to me "Maybe it was the curry puffs?" All I could say was "OMG it better not be the curry puffs! The last thing I really need right now is to be known as the person who poisoned Ajahn (the monk)" I took the risk, and still served the curry puffs for dana... haha Thank god my brother rang me after to say he was up all night too, throwing up. So that means they all had food poisoning from their dinner the night before, and it was not the curry puffs. The curry puffs were a hit, by the way.

After dana, I drove all the way to Westfield Doncaster, because I bought a La Senza voucher online and that was the nearest La Senza for me.. which was very far! But it was worth it, I bought heaps of lingerie! The first time I got La Senza was in London a few years ago. Then I picked Grumpy up from work, we grabbed a bite.. and then.. when we got home.. I fell asleep on the sofa from 6pm until 11.30pm. It was such a long and well deserved nap, Grumpy did not even dare wake me up for dinner. You would think I would have problems going back to sleep after that, but I was fine. I went back to sleep after, and woke up at around 9am this morning.

I feel much better after all that sleep. Hehe The last time we stayed home on a Saturday night was months ago, when we were under house arrest because of the detox. It was GOOD!

Anyways, here are pictures of my veggie patch now. I love my home grown veggies and with the warmer weather approaching, I am looking forward to spending more time here in the garden.

Some baby capsicums.

My favourite so far.. snow peas!

Some baby lemons growing.

Here is my cauliflower plant a week ago..

And this is what it looks like now.. one week later.

My broccoli tree.
