April has passed by so fast, I feel like just yesterday I was writing about March. Things that I thought I had loads of time to get done are now fast approaching. Work has been busy and home has been pretty busy. We have finished the patio and I have been hemming curtains. I spend time making Easter treats and at work we had an Easter baking competition - that I won. There were only three entries but it still counts. I learnt how to make marshmallow Easter eggs and that is definitely going to be a yearly thing from now on - I even managed to do the yellow yolk!
That's pretty much the extent of the excitement in April. We had a good few days off - some nice weather to get work outside done, some grey weather for staying in and watching movies. I discovered that Nathan is a master popcorn maker - guess I had just never asked him to make me popcorn before! I have done a bit of gardening but the job of lifting my bulbs and redistributing is still to come - hopefully we continue to get clear sunny weather through May! I also took Cher to Mitre10 twice this month - so we have gone from not knowing she was allowed in to almost becoming a regular. She was an embarrassment the first time but on the second time she was much better, probably on account of the cheese cubes I had in my purse! The poor girl seems to have a really itchy ear so I'm going to go to the vet and ask for advice - I can't just take her to the vet, she freaks out too much and would need to be sedated for them to look in her ear properly. I'm hoping that can wait until she goes in to get her lumps removed - which is looking like June because I just can't take any time off work in May.
May is going to be busy and it's day 2 already! Off to Christchurch this weekend, for various family celebrations. There will be May the 4th, a couple of birthdays, a graduation and hopefully a cat adoption.
