Scooty blog!


Well here it is, the long awaited Scooty Blog.

I had planned to put some good photos of my new scooty on here, but after a month of not getting round to taking any good ones, i am just going to stick this one on that i took standing in the door way of the clinic with the zoom out as far as it would go in case anybody saw me taking a photo of my own new bike!

Car crash cakes

No, this is not a scooty blog. I did just take a photo of the new scooty, but it was all sunny so there was loads of reflection. I will take a better photo this weekend.


Instead im posting a picture of my car crash cakes. I promised Jon i would make some cakes because his car got crashed.

They were eclairs because Michael likes eclairs, and i had been moody at him the day before, so they were doubling up as Sorry for being moody cakes too.

You have to be thrify in this current economic climate you know!


Anyway, they were very tasty!

Little Kew in bloom






Mega courgette ( its even bigger than the toaster!)




Creamy banana pie
( Not as fattening as it looks, but the mercadona fake philladelphia made it a bit runny!)

Birthday Blog: Brownies and Ballons!

Happy Birthday to me for last tuesday. I had a rather tafferish birthday as usual. i had to work in the day, but finished at 3. Then i went to see my friend who's birthday it was too, and she was having a Sweedish sandwich party in her Cafe, so i joined in. The Sweedish sandwich was huge, and had lots of fruit and salad and cheese and ham and mayonaise in. It really was the size of a baking tray, i have never seen anything like it!
In the evening michaels family came over and we had a BBQ on the balcony, amid my very own kew, which is coming on nicely, dispite not having alot of time to attend to it this year.The tree top walk will have to wait till next year!
It was a proper BBQ party because Mum had sent me balloons and pink serviettes which i made eveyone use, and i got straws with paper fruit on for 90c from mercadona. I also made a lovely jelly cake which i forgot to take a photie off. I did make some little birthday muffins though and michael make me lovely gooey chocolate brownies the weekend before.
Jane was out last weekend too, and we all went to the international feria and blues night. It was fun, but i burnt my mouth on some roast potatoes, and drank just enough to talk non stop about boob jobs for 3 hours and feel suitably embaressed.
Anyway i think Jane had a good time. We spent most if it on our new balcony sofas chatting, reading and drinking tea!

So, Thankyou for all my Happy Birthdays! Im still getting over turning 25, though Paul at work has made me promise not to grow up!

Squirrels, potatoes and Camu-camu's

Well, yet again Paul is away and im at work on my own. I already spend a few days painting the clinic, swapping all the plasic plants for real ones and removing the awfull old pictures in mismatching frames. This weekend i am going to buy some new frames and get a few photos i have taken of Spain and brighten the clinic up a bit more.


I have rung all the patients due for check ups (one of my least favorite jobs), ordered new stock (another of my least favorite jobs) and tidied the kitchen (stock room) and reception draws (the sort of jobs i can only stand when im REALLY bored). So i though with all of that done, i really have no excuse for not writing a blog!


I don't have anything overly exiting to tell you all, most of my time has been filled with thinking about studying, starting to study, then doing something far more interesting and important, like washing up, or making new cusion covers for the outside chairs. Oh and of course wearing in the now balcony sofas. The best thing about those is that the sun shines on them at certain times of the day, so i can get a tan lounging on the sofa!

Anyway, all of that is over for now, as i took my exam last monday. I think it went ok, apart from the weird questions on albino squirrels, osmotic potatoes and cumu cumu fruit! I was hoping to just draw a big carbohydrate and a few bits of DNA but it wasn't to be.

I managed to fill in most of the answer spaces with half sensible answers, rather than photosynthesis for all of them like Michael tells me he did! he was sure to get one right!

Now i have to wait till 20th Agust to get my results. In the mean time i can start learning about 'the voice of the genome' and 'biodiversity', and watch the spansih news and weather (yes, today it is 'Scorchio!)


A few weekends ago we went on a vespa do in La Cala. it turned out better than i though, we were sat next to couple while we were eating the paella (of course) so i practiced my spanish out on her, and i won on the raffle (as did everyone else) and got a pair of bicycle handles, a pair of pedals, and about 6 spark plugs, 2 straw hats, a other hats, a t shirt, and a load of other junk.


This weekend i will mostly be nagging Michael to take me to ikea. I have a family card now and they have an offer on fabrics, what better excuse to cut and stick and generly make a mess? If the results turn out ok, ill take some photos for you.
I will also be trying to find a new book to read, im in that awful situation when you have just finished a good book (A thousand splendid suns) and can't get into another one, though i bought ' the pirates Daughter' cheap in the bookshop yesterday, so ill give that a go. Its on the Richard and Judy summe reads, so what more can i say?!


Right, better get on with shuffling bits of paper i keep asking to Paul to sort out, and make the place look like ive done something.
