Feel as if I've been

unfaithful to my blog! haha, here comes spring/summer. I've been in the garden, because sure as shit we'll need that food it produces. I spend a lot of money on plant food; a good fertiliser, and a great feeder for the flowering/fruiting part of the cycle. That's where the money goes, and I buy a packet of seeds each week in the winter, here and there, in the shopping. We don't have a huge variety, just beans, peas, spinach, silverbeet (once it gets hot that bolts) lettuce and leeks.

We are just eating up the leeks from the winter; I leave them in the garden and go harvest one when we want to eat it. Easy! Leek and potato soup for tea tonight, with home made bread. I also bought an apple tree (Palmer's had them for 30 bucks last week) and a feijoa tree. Nowt from the apple for a couple of years, but hopefully we'll get something off the feijoa next year. Even a couple would be yum! I'm looking at getting a peach tree as well, because the thought of bottling my own peaches sends this foodie into paroxysms of delight! I made my own marscapone last night. It's so easy! Bloody hell, what are they charging us for? Oh, right, because they can.

Is this

a waste of time? Would I be better to write letters to my friends, with this time I spend pouring it out here? I'm not sure, to tell you the truth.

Monday rolls around again

and the sun is shining, I've cleared my front porch of the winter's detritus (it looked disgusting) and have been in the garden. The old Chinese proverb about being happy forever holds true for me. It's so hard though, because as a long-time self-abuser, the right thing is hard to do. I need to motivate myself, and I wasn't even in the room, let alone behind the door, when self-motivation and self-worth were being handed out. It's such a struggle to claim some for yourself.

I was lucky enough to see the moon through a huge telescope on Saturday night. Seeing volcanoes and mountains within the craters on her surface is truly awe-inspiring. Words just get in the way. I also taught yoga yesterday for the first time in two-three months. So my balance is coming back, slowly slow.

Another kid-fucker walks without conviction

Ah, New Zealand. Where children are prey.

I use the term 'comedian' in its loosest sense to describe this molester. Alcohol was his defence. Only in New Zealand, eh? Molest your four year old daughter. He took her night nappy off, still think he thought it was an adult? His job as a 'comedian' (clue - he's the bald half of Bill and Ben from TV3) is surely in tatters, though that Veitch piece of shit is back working on the radio after battering his ex partner.

Alcohol, male rage. It's ok, because it's New Zealand.
