happy birthday to my bernie

how many years now? in my eyes you still look exactly the same...... and you still make my heart beat faster.

 i got him three dvd's
one of which won't be released until the 15th (harry potter)
he got prince of persia
and the first narnia chronicle
unfortunately for both of us..he gave me his plague
so he'll have to pick up his own birthday cake
i couldn't bake today(actually i am not doing too well anyway you look at it-just ask the ducks)

it's cold and raw today so i got the woodstove going
cats are laying around like labradors in front of it
i am eating toast, which i am not allowed to have......but i don't feel up to much else.
i'm knitting on that damask,(linked to designers website) and ripping back every other row i knit!.... knitting lace with the plague isn't a good thing
meanwhile
bernie just called that he is going to try and get home early......
ok well early for him......he routinely puts in 11-16 hour days, sometimes i wish he didn't make the jump into management but he loves it.....
i worry about his health with that much working though

it's just a gray, overcast, rainy day here. the chickens started to lay in earnest this week.... the ducks stopped! hahahaha
oye
so we got eggs now either way.
soon i will start making custards and rice puddings etc.
calpurrnia got another mouse, i had to throw the poor thing into the trees it was shivering so bad.....i don't know if she hurt it or not but i couldn't squish it, and she couldn't kill it and bernie wouldn 't squish it......so into the tree it went.
it's got a 50/50 shot then
i am however getting pretty sick of dealing with traumatized damp mice......this one was so tiny too, although i know it's full grown.
we appear to be hosting three breeds of mice
a large white footed deer mouse
a small white footed deer mouse and a field or house mouse
all of which are not welcome here
***that's what you get for living in the woods vi, in an old stone house with a field stone foundation....... you get an alive house.*** (please i got the plague, i am allowed to have conversations with myself when i have a fever......no? it's better then seeing dancing chickens)

anyway, i am going to post this now, i'm waiting for the birthday boy to get home....
and i have to get the energy to get the ducks in
so i'll talk to you all tomorrow
