Chocolate Cookies With Dried Cherries

Attaches to the garden! Gifts

We are taken, but taken, but just taken from a thousand things to do but do not tell you what we do not have time to do anything!

between jobs (employment) and the other, even at home the work continues, and we are 'attacking' heavily the garden as the house, furniture aside, it's almost over.

When we returned from Italy, in December, the garden was a disaster!
Pem and I had even afraid to walk because of the snakes hidden in the tall grass. That stinking of
Humar, who has a salary twice that of a gardener, did not even clean the path between a house and the other because his pride prevented him (it has now taken a week of leave, which expires tomorrow, but this is another story.)
So the first phase was a general cleaning to eliminate weeds and various shrubs.

A neighbor has offered to eradicate two large bamboo in exchange for the same bamboo that has sold on its behalf. He made a hard job for almost 2 weeks. It 's amazing how deep the roots of bamboo and hard!
Here he is at work:
one in front and behind him is the great root of the bamboo that hoe and split into pieces for over a week before being able to eradicate it:

Meanwhile rains It's raining and still raining.

Much more than last year, and so soon as there is a sunny day Humar rooms on the roofs to accommodate roof tiles moved by wind and water:

The first cleaning job has brought its results . Snakes in a week or two have moved out completely (aside from a few who come to sunbathe on the decking) and we also knocked down some parts of the old bamboo fence like the one pictured below behind the cage of rabbits:

a pro Posito of rabbits, we have finally bought a female (female real this time!) so maybe we have chances to get some baby bunny!

Then we knocked down a bit 'of teak and mahogany trees and a cotton tree because it had left a bit' too much up and not even the greatest beauty.

replace them with, or frangipani tree with a few more cute.

We were afraid that the cotton tree, very tall and large, falling on the roof Joglo of, or even worse, the new house. But luckily enough managed to pull the rope that was tied up on the trunk so as to make it fall where it did not do damage.

When we were in Bali in December, in addition to buying appliances for the house we also got a lot of plants for the garden ...

and it took a long time before being able to plant everything, but now the garden begins to take shape and it is a satisfaction!

We also took a grass turf, because grass seeds for the Italians do not sprout and we have not found anyone who sell the seeds of grass! Even
nurseries, using the existing grass, divide it into small pieces and replanted, all by hand of course!

We too have taken the lumps are ready (there is no roll because the harvest by hand) and we planted them a bit 'far apart:

here they are from near

was long but now, after almost a month since we planted grass has almost become a regular!
Besides, with 10 square feet of turf grass we planted more than 40 square meters!

Now that we have found that it works, and it does not take long before the various clumps grow and join, we will take other herb to finish the missing parts of the southern part of the garden, and then down to fertilize and wait for it to grow everything!

17 After Af Hard Low Cervix

e. .. packs!

course, Christmas, especially because of the gifts is becoming increasingly prey everywhere (and then we complain about the crisis ... big spenders!) S and gifts 'will also gift wrap, of course!

For us, the gift bag is of course made up of two items: wrapping paper and staple or tape. It 's always been like that. And it was one of those things so natural and never imagined it would not be changed.
The emergence of self-closable bag with bow me a little 'left perplexed to say the truth, but at least they have always been the staple or tape, and the general idea of' cute packaging + staple 'was not then modified so much.

Until we came to Indonesia.
I still remember when, in the most well-stocked shop in the area we tried the ribbon from gifts, from classic to curl with scissors. Nothing. Not even the shadow. Or the prefabricated
flakes, or to pull those sides that curl on their own ... nothing.

Perplexed, after buying only gift paper, we approach the banquet where a couple of girls put together the package. Assuming that the tape would be added to them during packaging.
system to wrap the gift in the paper is different from start to finish. I know, you say, how many ways there are to want a package? Yet it is so.
card here costs a lot, and even the wrapping paper, then do not go to waste even a centimeter, I say, one millimeter.
The packaging begins taking measurements and checking goods and cutting the paper to be of a size so small that I can not even wrap one side of the gift, let alone everything! Only one side is left 3 or 4cm of transhipment than the size of the package. And we
there, overlooking the banquet to watch the girl, thinking that will not make it and that we'll never go to queue at the cash because he cut too small a piece of paper and will never be able to wrap the gift.
Yet she seems sure of what he does.
began to attack with a side of the tape to one side of paper gift wrap and then to finish with one, or perhaps up to 2 mm, the overlap of the paper. Fiuuuu ...! by a hair! think we waiting for the other two sides to close.
Then turn the packet and closes the bottom, with the same pinpoint accuracy to which the card is really very little overlap. Other than my package with a square meter of rolled paper two or three times around a tiny little box!
Then there is the high side of the package, and there are 4 or 5 inches of surplus, and she takes the scissors and starts cutting. And then you say, mha, this is strange, he did the other sides without losing one inch of paper and here is to throw away a strip so great! But no. Not only cuts off all but a piece diagonally. Millimeter, natual. And then he began turning the package over and under the paper and left and right and in a moment with those in more than 4cm card you pull out a decoration that is four of my bows!
Lovely. And there are a thousand different forms. EECCA what I've received this year, we could call an origami-package:

almost sorry I open it!

Biggest Number Recorded

Bali, as we said yesterday, is full of tourists. And we have fun when we go there just to make the tourists ... massages on the beach, contact the junk stalls, etc. ... On one side is a bit 'strange effect because we speak the language very well and knowing the roads and places, with the rented car and so on, it seems like when you go from Piedmont to make the weekend in Liguria! It makes us feel vacationers, and so every now and then while driving Cri Suan tapped horn for no reason, just for fun, and I start squatting on a few steps to chat with some ladies of anything local or negotiate something that does not buy either!

Between 'turistaggine' and one we came across a dinner with lots of dancing. What's more touristy than this? I think the dinner show is the apotheosis of the tourism trip ... are not you? Of course we could not stop us, although we've seen dozens!

I leave you with some 'photos of the girls dancers of Banjar Shindu Beach in Sanur, Bali ...
