Busy Bee Cafe http://blog.global6.net/yati No longer do I watch the day go by with my coffee, cookie and book, as I am now a real Busy Bee with Little Bee by my side as my sous chef, assistant gardener and portrait painter Mon, 03 Jun 2013 12:58:47 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 Philips Airfryer http://blog.global6.net/yati/?p=2863 http://blog.global6.net/yati/?p=2863#comments Mon, 03 Jun 2013 12:58:47 +0000 yati http://blog.global6.net/yati/?p=2863 Bad news – I have a bad cold. It’s lovely and warm and sunny outside, and I’m indoors feeling sorry for myself.

Good news – I received a delivery of my Philips Airfryer! I am really excited about trying it out!!

I’ve seen pictures of food that my friends concocted from this gadget and they look good. Jue even ‘fried’ ikan bilis (white bait) and they came out lovely… I know because she brought it to our picnic last week and I was thoroughly impressed.

Hmmmm… wonder if I could try out making meatballs…

My first request ever! And as it may be my last… Hope Gem Gem likes it :)

Sometimes (most of the times) when I pick her up from nursery, she will have a sticker on her t-shirt and when I ask her what it’s for, she would proudly tell me it was because she’s been good.

So… let’s see if this will work at home. I have some star stickers and I’ve created a daily chart for her. We started yesterday, I she proudly showed off her stars to daddy when he came home. Let’s see how long it will last!

As we walked back, I decided to revive what we used to do when we bump into cats in Tooting… and now Little Bee can press the button… so these are her photos of Cats in Tooting :)

I then had to take my phone away from Little Bee… she would have been happy to keep on snapping away though but I had chores to do at home…

It is the middle of May and I am FREEZING and envying my colleague who is wearing a jumper! Even Little Bee had a winter coat today… but I didn’t put gloves on her and her hands were so cold when we got to nursery :(

Seriously… I don’t think I can take the cold much longer :(

We spent yesterday and today tidying up the garden. Trust me, the garden was horrible… we didn’t do anything in the garden last year because it was just horrible last year… I just hope we do get a summer this year.

Anyway, after a whole day tidying up the garden yesterday, this morning was a bit more relaxed with Little Bee having her breakfast in her tent.

I noticed that the strawberry plant I bought last year… the year before?… has spread everywhere.

As I dug the strawberry plants up, Little Bee collected snails… as you do.

Most of them are nicely in pots…

Then it was watering…
