9 Years Married.. 11 years together :-)

On Saturday Billy and Lilly decided to buy us a 9th Wedding Anniversary Present! (the actual day is the 19th, but the four of us decided to celebrate early)

The cats were in a very generous mood, and decided to let us go into town to buy a games machine…. but only if we made a really good job of tidying the house! Needless to say the house looked much better by lunch time, so we were allowed into town.

After much deliberation, we decided to get an Xbox 360 (we got a second hand one and two previously used games to save money) We can now pretend we are Star Wars characters made of Lego, going around smashing, bashing, and solving little puzzles, or take on the role of an Assassin who has to sneak his way up to a castle and do all sorts of strange things!

Do you think the cats might learn how to use the controls, and have a game whilst we are out?

We went out in the evening for a curry, at a place we have not been to before. It was quite modern, and fresh good tasting food.. but the starters were so huge that even I could not finish my main course! (It came home in a doggy bag.. cats NOT impressed as they don’t like curry or doggies – they prefer Roast Chicken!)

We had a lazy start on Sunday, but I went out and planted some plants, and sewed some cat mint seeds (Shhh don’t tell them yet.. it’s a surprise!) I also planted some Comfrey roots that I purchased online. Comfrey is apparently very good for compost, and the variety that I got, Bocking 14 will not go wild and seed all over the garden. The idea is that you cut it down once a year and stick the lot in your heap to help the process. I will keep you posted.

Oh.. I also did some cooking for my good friend Battlescars7 (this is RuneScape cooking) and have advanced a level. Im now 86! She has got her cooking cape at level 99, so does not need the exp, so we meet up and I cook whilst she "alchs" things.

Hi MHA, it's CJ here, your DBIY.
Just a comment about comfrey... it can be cut several times a year, at flowering time. If you cut it it will regrow...
