P365 – Day 59 i’m tired

In an attempt to juggle child care, school drop-offs and pickups and have the most possible time with Juniordwarf, while still working the same number of hours as I used to when I worked three days a week, Monday has become my ‘long day’ at work, at least temporarily....

P365 – Day 58 – return to the Farm Bar (27/2/2011)

Today Two Metre Tall (remember them?) had their second Sunday Farm Bar. It was a beautiful late summer day, perfect weather for a picnic, a BBQ featuring Two Metre Tall’s finest beer-fed beef and, of course, real ale and cider. Unfortunately my favourite ale, Forester, seems to be everyone...

P365 – Day 57 – glitterati

Let me start this post by saying that every photo for my Project 365 is taken on my phone. My phone tends to lag somewhat between the time I press the button and the picture actually being taken. So the quality is sometimes a bit dodgy, especially in low...

find me friday no.4

Finally, the solution to find me friday no.3, which was correctly identified by @samedog as the Tool Shed in the Parliament Lawns.  There was some suggestion made that the sign on the shed should be shifted to the building in the background, but I’ll leave that for you to...

P365 – Day 56 – Project life progress

I’ve been a bit behind with my Project Life album this year. Specifically the journalling. I’ve done pretty well to keep up with the photos so far, but I always find it hard to get my act together and write about the photos, even though I’ve written at length...

P365 – Day 54 – these shoes aren’t made for walking

Anyone who knows me will know I’m not much into shoes. Actually, I’m not much into ‘fashion’ either, which is demonstrated by the rather, ahem, casual, attire in which I usually turn up to work. I’m definitely not into heels. The only heels I have are the shoes I...

P365 – Day 53 – bake-a-rama

Now that Juniordwarf goes to school, I only have one day a week at home with him. What this means is that all the home/mum ‘stuff’ I used to do on two days I now only get one day to do. Last year we had organised activities on both...

P365 – Day 52 – it’s cold!

This time last week we had the air conditioner on. Last night I had my electric blanket on. This morning we woke to news of snow on Mt Wellington and saw snow on the hills around us. This photo is what you might expect Mt Wellington to look like on...

P365 – Day 51 – it’s been one of those days

One of those days when I wish I’d never got out of bed and can’t wait to be over. It probably didn’t help that I didn’t really get up. I did that thing where I stay in my PJs, laze around, do a few incidental things, have too many...
