Health and Safety fun

Now this would be an awfully ( and I mean awfully) boring post if I was to explain what we were up to! Four words for you. Health and safety lecture.

That is it in a nutshell. No cooking at all, can you feel my sadness? Oh and I'm ill. Boo hoo. Hopefully tomorrow I will be all good as I have a big cooking plan to get through!

Here are some photos to keep you amused instead of my scribbles.

Knives at the ready!

I think I've blown it.

I'm utterly crap huh. Its Wednesday and still no 'my week in colours'. I could do the whole 'not my fault bc …blah blah blah' but instead I will take the dignified position and simply say sorry.
Better late than never though chaps and so here it is…a few little colours for you.
We had a pretty rubbish week out in the country (not making subtle excuses I can assure you). We had some baby rabbits unfortunately pop their clogs, the Monkey and Cat had to be spayed which caused no endless amount of trouble and well, it's been raining pretty constantly. Pah!

Anyways, onwards and upwards. Holidays coming soon and would you believe it that this is the one time where I will for sure be able to get things written on time and with more regularity…bring on the plane!

crazy colours huh and promise you no crazy settings on the camera!

The animals

Living in the country means that I have enough space to have lots of animals and good job too as I adore them. Plus the fact that living in a developing country means that expenses are super low!

In Mexico there are huge numbers of animals that are left to their own devices and as such are often in pretty bad shape…ergo my weakness. ´Rescues´. I'm proud to say that all my animals are rescues that I've found on the street at some where or other and  I'm embarrassed to say that yes, I've done the talking like a proud new Mum about them. Thankfully, I've stopped. I've bought them new collars on birthdays too, no I do not dress them up and to be frank, heaven help me if I do!

But I thought I would show you some photos of each of my animals (before and after) so you can see how happy and healthy they are now compared to before…

Rat has grown into a very particular dog - she growls when she wants cuddles, she picks up her food in individual biscuits and carries it off to eat and loves more than anything to put her head on your tummy..
Check out the awesome traditional tiles in the house!

                                            

                    

Monkey on the other hand is a right rascal…hence her name Cheeky Monkey! I found her whilst driving home one day and saw her walking towards cars that came her way…. I couldn´t stop myself from picking her up! This was her first meal she had with me and could not eat it fast enough! She looks a bit of a spacker in the 2nd photo but she was getting up at the time..notice how she's sticking her tongue out at me!

          

And this is Cat. Yes, I know, I know, very original. But I am not a cat person. This little minx though I found on the road next to her dead Mum…could I leave her there? Oh no. In the pic on the left the cushion she is on is about 10inches wide…tiny!

There are some advantages to living in the country…it's great to watch the dogs running around playing at sunset in the gardens….bliss.
