Fox in our garden

May 6th, 2007

FoxMy other half just spotted a fox lurking around in our jungle garden that she’s recently been working her little heart out cleaning and getting into control.

It looks like the fox is familar with the garden area (even though the garden has been changing in the past few weeks) and we just wonder if we’ll see some more of it soon.

I’m just trying Amazon’s new AStore system and thought if you like my blog and are stuck on ideas what to get people for Christmas, then you may be interested in What I’ve recently purchased from Amazon UK for myself and my family…

Dunno if it’ll help, but it’s just been a “difficult to buy for” year this year and I’m sure others are as stuck as I was – so hopefully it’ll be helpful for somebody!

Hmm, cleaning is not a good thing.

I started cleaning the house this morning/last night and since then, I’ve had the following:
* Kitchen sink blocked needing the piping to be removed and manually cleared
* Dishwasher flooding
* Half the ceiling of my “shed” (actually part of the house) fell down
* Boiler stopped working.

I think my house is trying to tell me “Cleaning me is not good!” :D

Personal: Freak out time….

Ok, what’s the odds of guessing somebody’s birthday *exactly* on your first guess? 1 in 365? Well, if you know their star sign, it’s more like 1 in 30, but I still achieved it! I don’t know how I did it myself, it just felt right but…. It freaked her out and it freaked myself out! Proceeding to guess her mothers name on the first guess as well (just based on my friends initials) makes it doubly so!

Now I just want to know why I haven’t won the lottery yet….

Personal: Yes! I passed my theory test!

At my second attempt, I managed to pass my car driving theory test! Yippee for me!

Technically, I passed the theory test the first time as well (34/35 on the first try, 33/35 on the second – pass mark was 30), but I failed the hazard perception by a single point (I scored 43 last time: pass mark was 44 out of 75). This time, due to a lot more clicking (sometimes as many as 8 times on a single clip), I scored 59 out of 75 and passed!

Now just to think about booking the car driving practical test – and then I can be a menace on the roads! Mwhahaha!
