Life in Mono...

Peas Please...

Here are the pictures of the Peas that was harvested and eaten 2 days a go. I think they were yummy because it was fresh off the vine.

Just added...

We had our first harvest of Snow Peas yesterday. IT WAS DELICIOUS!! I have never tasted Peas that yummy. AND I know that its safe to eat because I do not use any pesticide on it. Yippie. Hoorrray for Home grown Veggies. I will upload the photos tonight if I have time.

Anyways, I was so happy with the harvest yesterday that I went to Bunnings to get more veggies to put in my garden. Half of them will be in Tubs and the other half will be on the garden bed. So here is the list.

1. Butternut Pumpkin (Garden Bed)
2. English Spinish (Tub)
3. Runner Beans (Garden Bed)
4. Eggplant (Tub)
5. Capsicum (Tub)
6. Cauliflower (Tub)

I have been craving Pumpkin Soup lately so I decided why not plant them in the garden. Hopefully, I will get big fat ones. LOL.

Some people...

are just plain rude!!! Seriously, some people have no phone etiquette at ALL. They should not be asked to answer the phones at ALL. Geeezus.

I wanted to make an appointment to see a GP for my annual Pap Smear Test, so I called up the Medical Center near my home. I was not sure if they have GP services there so I asked a simple question. This was how it went...

Feli: Hi I was wondering if you have a GP there

Recep: This is a medical center WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? (She asked sarcastically and yelling at the same time)

Feli: Well I was wondering if you have a GP available there.

Recep: WELL THIS IS A DOCTOR'S SURGERY. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? (again sarcastically and yelling)

Feli: Well I wanted to ask to see if there is a GP Available there to make an appointment but since you are so rude I changed my mind. Thank you very much

Recep: Well I was not being rude........(by this time I already hung up on her)

I mean come on. Was my question that stupid for her to speak to me like that? I mean I answer the phones here at work and I have never talk to someone like that when they ask if there is a Lawyer in a Law Firm. I usually say "Yes we do" and even though that question is a given, I mean hello its a law firm, I have never ever talk to some one like that.

In Australia, well in my experience, a Medical Center or a Doctor's Surgery may not even have a GP service available. So I think my question is reasonable enough.

I have made an appointment with my usual doctor. The one that I saw when I was in Uni. The only reason that I didn't want to call him was his clinic is all the way in Mt Lawley. GAH.

See things like this shits me. I am angry and upset now. I hope she has a bad day too!!! NOW THAT'S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT BITCH.

Ok. Anger over. :*)

Melbourne Cup Fashion...

The Melbourne Cup is just around the corner. I am fascinated with the Spring Carnival Fashion. Girls dressing up in cocktail dresses with fascinators or hats on their heads. I have never been to the races before but I would like to go one day.

I think we are doing something at work for the Melbourne Cup so I told the girls to maybe dress up a little bit. So here is what I came up with.

Another Project ...

How cool is this project from Apartment Therapy? I get a lot of junk mail at work and at home. Instead of chucking it in the recycling bin why not make it into art. I love the look of this one. Maybe I will try to make one this weekend. Wooohooo more things to make.

6 unimportant randoms...

Ok. Tagged by Suzie, I decided to do it. :*)

1. Link to the person who tagged you

2. Post the rules on your blog

3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself

4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs

5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

*ahem* So here goes.

1. I am very anal about time. If I tell someone that I will be there at 730am. I will be there at about 7.15. I think my whole family is like that especially my mom. She is very very punctual. So my sisters and I have that "be punctual" thing built in to our brains.
2. I use to hate sewing and crafts when I was younger. Now I can't get enough of it. I use to dread going to Art Classes or Home Ec classes. I remember trying to cheat my way around it if I could. BUT NOW...I try to make time for crafting and sewing.
3. I hate drinking beer. I hate the taste of it and I do not like the smell. I would probably take a sip of beer and then give it to M to drink the rest.
4. I do however like wines and liquor. I don't drink as much as other people but occasionally I do like a glass of wine or two. Because of my Iban blood, it takes a lot to get me drunk. I have only been pissed drunk twice in my entire life. So that's why I don't drink much because it's EXPENSIVE.
5. I brush my teeth in the shower and I shower twice a day. Even in the Winter.
6. I talk to my pets as if they are human and I treat them like I would treat my kids. They are my life and I cannot imagine my life without them now.

I am not tagging anyone in particular but if you do join in, please let me know. :*)

Now it's this

I decided that the birds are not going to come and take a bath in my birdbath so I drilled some holes at the bottom of the bowl and planted some succulents. I also transferred Maxus the Cactus in there. I had to break his pot but then I reused it as decoration in the new pot. :*)

Tomatoes and Strawberries.

Balmy evenings

"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together" -Vincent Van Gogh.

I just love the evenings now. I love how the Australian sun turns the sky red when it sets. Its getting warmer now. The flies are out and the days are a little bit longer now. This Sunday we turn our clocks forward. This may be the last year that we push our clocks forward. Its the end of a three year trial and West Australians will vote to either keep Day Light Savings or not. I hope they keep it because I am absolutely loving it.
