Yep we won the Rugby World Cup!

Okay, so how tired are you today? I'm not a late night kind of a girl (just ask anybody whose been on a retreat with me LOL) so staying up to watch us win the world cup and then being far too abuzz to sleep has made for a lazy kind of a day.

I wonder if it will be quiet at work tomorrow - will lots of families head into the ticker tape parade? Hope they do as the AB's deserve a good turn out!

However the garden is looking nice and green after we got the most rain in a single day, for the last two years...

Not much creating happening at my house this last week. Having my hubby home has not helped that - with specialist appointments etc the days kind of got eaten up before I knew it. Still lucky he had all this done during the school holidays, made it much easier for me, no relievers needed for work. Speaking of work, being home for the holidays has meant that I've nearly got my appraisal done for this year - and that's always a good thing isn't it Mandy lol!

This little cutie is rapidly growing up. Even better she's old enough to be outside with Mum and the other girls now on a fulltime basis - no swapping cages over so that they get a run, away from the rest. Chickens can be a little nasty to each other, so you have to be a bit careful.

All those teeth look rather vicious don't they! Fortunately it's all in good fun. Darcy girl has a habit of taking hold of any new toy and lying on it. Dan likes to get hold of the toy and run off with it. Archie prefers the grab and then destruct method of play :-) This tennis ball lasted about five minutes with Arch - it was soon shredded and then a hole made. I often visit the Salvation Army shop and buy the soft toys for fifty cents each. If I'm lucky they survive a few days. The ladies there must think I'm mad, as I go through the toy barrels picking out the teddies with things that can't be pulled off (like no button eyes etc). Archie can decimate a fifteen dollar toy just as quick as a fifty cent one!

Have a fantastic short week.
