Saturday - B stylee

OK. Am off the soapbox. I promise...

EXETEL SUCKS!!!


Oh sorry - a little attack of ISP Tourettes. Please forgive me.

*****

So - the rabbits had an eventful morning. MrB heard them go absolutely schizo in the hutch and had a WTF? moment... and went outside to discover a large bird, with a wingspan of over a metre flying out of the yard.

It was a grey goshawk (Thank you Uncle Google) wanting an easy Saturday morning brunch... It flew away unsatisfied, but left the rabbits and MrB kinda spooked.


I had a sudden image of the goshawk swooping down when Miss H has one of the rabbits on the leash, and flying away with more than it bargained for....

Went to MrB's school Fete and Open Day today. Oh the mega yayness!

At least this year I didn't have the overwhelming urge to tell the teenage boys to PULL THEIR BLOODY PANTS UP!
This year I was all about the: Child, you are a size 16 at least - those footless tights are stretched to breaking point trying to keep your thighs covered. And I really don't need to see your entire bright pink bra, or indeed, the contents of said bra.

Thank goodness I exist entirely within my Bulli bubble and only have to encounter such hideous 'adolescence' but once a year.

But, yeah, the munchkins all had a good time - there were teacup rides and lolly stalls, and second-hand book stalls (they are their mother's daughters...) so the family B were happy.

But now I'm exhausted.

That image of a goshawk, a rabbit and Ms H disappearing into the sunset will stay with me for a while.

I probably shouldn;t have watched TWister on DVD last night.

Oh actonb, so much in that post to adore.

1. The rabbits walk on a leash?
2. Very Harry Potter to imagine Miss H flying away...
3. Fashion crimes - I often wonder if people even have a mirror at home?

School fetes are really sophisticated around here nowadays. They have jazz bands and wine tastings and things.

INC - that's the exact image I had all day on saturday - miss H being such a litle slip of a thing, it's not entirely out of the realms of reality...

Donnie - This year it's all about the cleavage. And the tights. I *almost* think the muffin top is better...

W - They do have a walk on the leash! Miss H loves it! They actually spent most of sunday afternoon hopping around the rumpus room too. Well the 2 white ones did - the 2 brown ones spent the afternoon with their heads buried under the cushions on the lounge doing the whole 'If I can't see you, then you can't see me' thing.

PubMan - Where's here? This school fete had $6 greek kebabs, espresso coffee and a rocking jazz band too. But it was sadly lacking the wine-tasting being a Baptist school and all. Which is a shame because seriously? wine would make the whole thing so much more agreeable!
