yes, it was a good friday

this basket o' bunnies (and friends) went off to jasmine greens yesterday, whence they will hopefully wander off and find new homes with all those poor little people who can't have chockies at easter time. I say this with true sadness in my heart, as I can't imagine an easter, or a life for that matter, without chocolate. I have just now devoured half of a red tulip elegant rabbit (thanks, ty) and am looking forward to a weekend indoors with the good stuff, as it is of course raining, as it does at easter time on the east coast of australia. It's been stinking hot all week, which was a bit of a shock to the system after a very autumn-like summer ( I think I mentioned that before), and when I reminded mr. arran that it would in fact be raining on the weekend because of the easter thing, he didn't believe me, but then when we woke this morning, there it was, just as predicted. But, you know, I'm pretty happy about it, because we're not travelling anywhere, and because chocolate is so much more enjoyable when you can snuggle indoors and enjoy it with other good stuff like more chocolate in the form of hot cocoa. However, if it is raining in two weeks time, when we pack up and head north on a little adventure, I will not be so happy, because me and four boys in a van in the rain is not really my idea of a good time.
