Week 16 was a “normal” week. This weekend the dog we were taking care for went home, HORAY!!! It is bitter sweet to see him go, as he was such a good dog and so warm, but there were issues with his presence in our home, as I may have highlighted in other posts. He […]

Not really “off season”, I guess off season for us. Like I’ve mentioned in this blog a few times, we spend Easter long weekend at St. Leonards as a family (Dean, myself, Dean’s dad and step mother, sometimes Dean’s brother or grandmother). Because of COVID-19, travelling was out of the question for Easter this year, […]

Every day that passes by, I fall more in love with little Hughey (who might turn out to be bigger than we expect). We took him to his first veterinarian visit this past week prior to his second shot because we felt there might be something wrong with him. Dean thought he had a hearing […]

Week 15 was a “normal” week, but the fact that we are taking care of another person’s dog, makes it difficult to let the chickens roam free. I’m really getting annoyed with the dog because it is stopping me from enjoying my chickens and the new puppy. The lack of interaction between Hughey and the […]

This week marks 1/4th of the project through, big achievement. It was a “normal” week, but the fact that we are taking care of another person’s dog, makes it difficult to let the chickens roam free. I had a few minutes this weekend to enjoy the chickens and see them interact with Hughey. The Chickens […]

So, this little love muffin came into my life 3 days ago! He is the cutest thing ever and I want to be Elmira and just hug him and squeeze him and love him. Unlike the chickens, he actually enjoys the love cuddles. I decided that I had to take TONS of photos of him. […]

I have posted here the Classic Dan Dan Noodles (slight deviation because I didn’t know I had not bought the correct Chinese preserved vegetable). It was delicious, but the sauce was a bit too runny. After I found my cookbooks, I saw that in Fuschia Dunlop’s Every Grain of Rice, there was also another version […]

This week was a “normal”. We are dog-sitting (again) at the moment, and having the dog around makes it a bit difficult to take photos of chickens. We can’t (yet) let the dog and chickens around each other, because the dog is very energetic (a mix of two different herding breeds) and in all his […]

For tonight’s dinner, I cooked Blue Eye in Saffron sauce with lemon-dill rice. Not the best photo, as I think Dean, who dished the plate, overdid the fish on top of the rice. Two pieces of the fish was just too much/high. Other than that, the food was great and the photo came out ok. […]

So, I am planning a sunset picnic after yesterday’s post about the Ring of Steel. I loved the idea of taking photos of the city from the “running circle” in Royal Park. I will go to the circle Friday week (30/10) after work, probably get there around 6:30-7:00pm and meet friends there for the picnic. […]
