The continuing voyages of 99 Days: Onions

Agh! Spiders!!!! 



No. Wait, they're outside its ok. Phew! 

So why am I outside? well you can definately say my onions have appeared 


And one even turned into a cactus :P 

I think the next upgrade would be a waist high bench... lots easier. I also heard that spring onions can grow in water so I thinned the crop a little 

Yup this once held laundry tablets...

Will see just how big these can get.

Also if you spotted  the onion in the handy sidepocket of my rucksack looking very sprouty (thanks nin :) ) all is explained!





















Turns out if your onion sprouts, it doesn't make mini onions like potatoes instead you get a flower then seeds. Oddly the shoot goes up then down into the soil. Maybe thats not odd to more gardeny people but to me its amazing.

Also totally chuffed that my little sister is so skilled in the kitchen, learnt a new recipe I've so got to try out! 

Another amazing thing happened yesterday. I was stopped and congratulated on what looks to be an awesome festival :D

 Thats right! This event organiser who's first event 'gunge a teacher' was at 13 yrs old is now coordinating a national scifi festival. When you say it like that it doesn't sound half bad. I wonder if the fact I'm doing it for free, that its not my job, makes a difference? nah.

Days score: uuummmm a good day 8/10

86: Friday 7th October 2011

Wow lots done today! 
  • Made a feedback box in club colours
  • Wrote awards for awesome members (If you're SBL remember to vote for member of the year)
  • Created home made cake decorations, now all I need is the cake
  • Successfully made soft oiled eggs for lunch :D only one decided to leak in the pan
    created an AGM plan

    Left to do before sleep:
    • Sort recycling into new bags so I can use the box for planting onions
    • Wash up and make the kitchen sparkle
    • Find a pattern for sewing baby hats or just wing it
    • Create a party play list
    • Eat

    and you know what's the most difficult thing of the day? The play list. My taste in music is so eclectic (thanks sister act for teaching me that word) I have no idea what to include for a party. Queen is a given. Or is it too cliché? Firefly theme tune? Busted? Celebration? I think I may be out dj'ed on the night.

    Oh and the draught excluder works a treat!!! You can tell because when you pick it up to get out it's freezing! 

    Score 8/10: Having a plan makes me feel so much better. Tidy schedule tidy mind.
