Ummmmmm.....

I've pretty much been gardening all weekend, so it's a bit scant on the interesting-things-to-talk-about front. Actually, since it's a bit scant on the any-type-of-things-to-talk-about front ... I took a picture of the weeds in one of my gardens, because they were particularly impressive.

Wanna see?





There's a single miniature fruit tree in the middle, and possibly a ground-covery type thing, but otherwise? All weeds.

Obviously, it's a bit hard to beat the arrival of the twins on Saturday morning.


Now that I think about it, weeds aside, fascinating though they are, I did actually learn a valuable lesson about thinking out loud ...

As part of the house renovations, a new kitchen is going in. As part of the new kitchen, the breakfast bar is going bye bye in favour of a movable island, giving us more space in general in the kitchen, and around the kitchen table.

Even I, a person who largely expects the unexpected, was temporarily speechless after saying to the husband that we should take the breakfast bar out and see how much extra room it creates, and the next thing he and Pal Stu had picked up the breakfast bar and ripped it out of the wall.

It does create a power of extra space though, and aside from the fact that I keep turning around to put things on the bench and dropping them on my foot, they did good.
