(1) I have been reluctant to post about the ant situation, in case they came back, but we have been ant-free now for over 3 weeks. After our visitors left (during which time there were several ant sightings) J came home with some ant baits, apparently harmless to animals and kids, and we placed them around the areas the ants were marching. Within a few days, they were gone. A few random/left over ants remained for a while, but we haven't seen an ant for the whole month of July, so I am going to say that our ant problem is solved. Yay! So much for my eco attempts to get rid of them...should have brought in the hard core store bought stuff earlier.
(2) In other news....we are spending a lazy morning (see a pattern here??)here. Just got back from our walk-with-R-slash-mini-supermarket-run to buy milk and for some reason 5 lemons....what am I going to do with 5 lemons? I soooo get sucked in to the bargain fruit and vege bins out the front every time.
(3) Tonight's menu is going to be:
(no room for lemons in that menu, lol!)
(4) And today K and I will be munching on peaches, pears and grapes in my attempt to be good ;)
(5) It is overcast and not as hot as it has been, which is nice. I still think the aircon will come on as soon as I start doing anything remotely house-work like - I am not a masochist..or is that sadist? Either way, AC will be involved.
(6) Over the long weekend we are going to catch up with some friend's of J from when he was in the US which will be fun. The have kids older than K so she can do her usual idolising trick....
(7) So now the only thing question that remains to be answered it what are we going to have for lunch?? I guess it would be wrong to waddle across to KFC, wouldn't it???? (Angel T says "MUST CONTROL URGES - refer back to No. 4 above!!" Devil T says - just do it, (evil laugh))
I hope you went to KFC -and if not then please do so tomorrow as now you have made me really want it and as we all know I would have to drive all the way to bloody Beppu. Jealous all you need to do is waddle.
ReplyDeleteBut at least you only need to drive through at your kfc... I need to actually open the doors and walk inside! Life is tough here too (lol)
ReplyDeleteand no, I waivered the kfc for a tin of tinned spaghetti instead (too many "tins" there?) much easier than even waddling in this heat.
Congrats on your win agaisnt the ants!!!!
ReplyDeleteLemons eh?? Since I've been banned from salt I've been doing a lot of lemon/herb cooking. Made some absolutely delicious lemon, garlic, and rosemary roasted chicken breasts so maybe you could give that a try one night coming up?
Also lemon poppy seed bread if your in a baking - don't give a f*** about calories type mood :)
KFC.... I used to live so close to one in Kobe now like MOST things there aren't any in walking distance... (ok ok at least there is a Starbucks, Mr. Donut, and McDonalds in SOMEWHAT close proximity..)
