Oops. It’s been 10 days since my last post. Guess I am quite a lazy blogger sometimes. I can always blame the weather as winter is almost here. It always gets dark when I reach home after work and it’s too dark to take any nice decent photos in the dark. I’m so full of excuse right? 
Anyway, here’s a FO since, OMG, last month?? I wish I have one FO per week but alas, I’m such a slow knitter 
. By the way, this is the first pair of socks that I knit for my DH and it took me more than 7 weeks!! 
I don’t think I enjoyed knitting men’s socks. They take a lot longer to finish as they have more sts per round and more rows to knit too!! However, I’m glad to have finish this pair. Hope DH will wear them after all these effort!!
Pattern: Baby Cable Rib by Charlene Schurch from Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: 1 skein of The Knittery 4ply Sock: Merino Cashmere (NEW) in Midnight
Needles: 2.75 mm
Here’s a photo of the evening sky at around 5 PM. Look at those swirly clouds. I miss the clear blue skies. According to the weather forecast, we might be getting some thunderstorms tomorrow.

Time really flies. I can’t believe Momo is already 5 years old. If you look at it in terms of human years, he should be about 33 years old now. However, no matter how old he gets, he’ll always be my little boy 
He do acts like a little kid sometimes, being very cheeky and naughty, doing things he knows I don’t like but you can’t stay mad at him for long, not when he give you those sad face, with eyes pleading, “i’m sorry”.
Anyway, I’m sure that you all still remember when I first planted my herb garden back in November? Well, some flourish and only one of them died. The unlucky plant was the coriander but it wasn’t really my fault. I saw Momo peed on it and the next day it turned brown and died 
.
After all the heard work of watering them diligently and feeding them with blood and bone, it’s time to harvest some of them. I cut some spring onions and red chillies so that I can used them in my cooking. I cooked black peper chicken stir-fry and I was over the moon . I know I’m being silly but I’m just so happy that I can use some of my home grown herbs!!!!!
It has been pretty hot and humid the past few days. I shouldn’t really complain much because those in the eastern states, especially in Victoria are having it a lot worst with bushfires and temperature soaring up to 45 degrees . Hope the weather will be better for them soon.
We might be having thunderstoms in the next day or so. Skies are getting cloudy and sometimes it makes me feel gloomy as well. However, in such gloomy and cloudy times like this, there will always be a rainbow to cheer us up and brings a smile to our faces .

Spring has always been one of my favourite season and sad to say, it is almost the end of Spring now. Last week, there was a birthday bash at Mark’s place for the November boys and my DH was one of them. All of us had a blast and the highlight of the night was during the games session. (see photo below). Ah…Da Mer, you’re not so young anyway since you’re no longer twenty-something. Hehehe .
Anyway, after exploring Mark’s herb garden, I decided to create my very own herb garden too. Since the weather today is so beautiful, I went to Bunnings to buy some pots, potting mix, and of course, some herbs. I bought sweet basil, coriander, spring onions, and two chilli plants. Do you think 3 herbs in a pot is too much or too tight ? Or should I just have 3 herbs in a pot? Erm, mind you, I really do not have a green thumb at all so I hope my effort and the money I spent today to start my herb garden, will not go to waste since the roses in my gardens are still alive and blooming 
.
While I was gardenning, my babies were enjoying the sun too. It was a little easier snapping their photos today as they’re not moving too much!! 
What I like most about the two of them is that they both get along so well and I just love seeing both of them together!!
Lastly, after flashing my stash on the last post, someone reckons that they’re not even full and suggest that I should buy more yarn!! And buy more yarn I did 
!!! Hahahaha!!! Ah…just kidding, I actually bought the yarns way before I flashed my stash. Anyway, here are the lot of yarns and I plan to use them for blankets. Oh well, hopefully I will have an FO to show you on the next post.
