sab battles the pink robots

It's been a tiring day.
In fact it's been a tiring week...
So much to do and so little time.
And even worse, so little energy...
I think I'm gonna take myself off to the dr's next week to check my iron levels.

To top it all off, the freaking Royal Mail, due either to the strike or incompetence, haven't managed to deliver my snus yet...

My darling Hanna sent it last monday and, as it's supposed to take 3-4 working days, I'm starting to despair... so this evening, with the help of my sis' visa card (and her permission)
I ordered some online.

At least I have something fun to look forward to this weekend!
Me and lil sis are making jam again!
Yes, you've guessed it, I'm obsessed with making preserves at the mo'...

I might also look into just who owns that apple tree and see if I can have some.
Noone else seems to ever use them and I do hate waste...

Today I made a yummy vegetable soup for my dinner (and tomorrows lunch).
I nicked the "recipe" from my sis, she made it last weekend.
It's not really a recipe, you just chuck various vegetables in some stock and boil it for a while...
Add some chilli and loads of garlic and it's scrumptious!
Perfect for cold(ish) autumn evenings...
If there's any of it left for tea tomoz I'm going to chuck some beans or lentil in to add interest!

Interesting huh?!

Well, Jane Austen calls!

Cheerio!

living la vida loca

Movie night for me I think... Just went through the dvd's downstairs and found Seven Pounds with Will Smith which I haven't seen... I also brought Stand By Me upstairs. It's a movie I've seen many times as it was a favourite of ours when we were growing up, but it's also one you can watch over and over again... So that's what I have to choose between.
I would say I'll watch them both but I'm itching to start Pride and Prejudice before I go to bed as well!

Was actually hoping to blog mine and sis's jam making session but sice she hasn't emailed me the pics that's just going to have to wait I guess...

See ya laters alligators!

Hope you like Jamming too

Just got out of the shower and now I'm off to pick up some jam jars
then head over my sis' way for a day of preserving!
Hopefully we'll take some pics that I can upload later...

Last night I went to see District 9 with my dear Seamus.
It was a very good film, if a little obvious in it's parallels with apartheid, but
unfortunately I left with a heavy heart...
Everyone seems to be have all these lovely prospects and their lives are going somewhere.
Not me however, I'm left behind treading water...
Something must be done, a change must be made, if only I knew what!

Now I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself and get going!
I'm sure a day of good old fashioned jam making will make me feel better!


Here's looking at you kid!
