P365 – Day 41 Paul Kelly (10/2/2011)
Take a look at my profile on the right hand side. See where it says ‘I like my Macbook Pro, Paul Kelly and Dr Who’. Well in case you were wondering, the Paul Kelly I refer to is not the former Sydney Swans player nor is it the political...
P365 – Day 40 the countdown begins
This time next week, Juniordwarf will have finished his first day of Kindergarten. A couple of weeks ago Juniordwarf and I went shopping to buy him a new lunch box for school. I wrote all about how I thought I was going to be one of the tearful mummies on his...
P365 – Day 39 gone to seed
If you were ever wondering what happens when you let a lettuce go to seed, allow me to enlighten you. As a PS to my sunday selections post about the dragon eggs, Kim reported yesterday that a lot of the eggs on display had been stolen. I was really...
P365 – Day 38 spot the moon
I love watching the moon, and seeing it during its first few waxing days, when it’s just beginning to show as a thin sliver in the sky, always makes me happy. Yes, the moon really is in the picture . . . It’s a time to make a fresh...
sunday selections – Chauncy Vale
Today juniordwarf and I went to the Chauncy Vale Open Day. I had never heard of Chauncy Vale until yesterday, but Kim over at Frogpondsrock mentioned that she’d be there making dragons eggs with the kids at the Open Day. That sounded like something juniordwarf would be interested in,...
P365 – Day 37 just go and plant something
Like my house, my back yard is something of a mess. When I refer to myself as a ‘gardener’, I think it would be more appropriate for the word ‘wannabe’ to be put in as a disclaimer. Or else to describe myself as ‘someone who likes to think about...
P365 – Day 36 i haz tomatoes
Today I picked the first of my tomatoes from my vege garden weed patch. I’m not sure what sort they are (I can’t find the label under the weeds), but they are really nice, sweet cherry tomatoes. We also have zucchinis, but I always forget to go and check...
find me friday no. 3
Today’s ‘find me friday’ is a little joke. Or at least it’s something that appeals to my juvenile sense of humour. The sign reads “TOOL SHED”. Apologies for the quality of the photo. The lighting wasn’t very good . . . Last week’s find me friday got no hits,...
P365 – Day 35 another coffee cup
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about my work coffee mug. So here’s another one. This is a BYO reusable silicone coffee cup that you can take back to your local coffee outlet each time you buy a coffee, instead of using the disposable cups. According to its...
P365 – Day 34 I object (3/2/2011)
Today I lodged an objection with the local council in relation to a planning proposal for a 24 hour fast food restaurant and drive-thru on this site. The site is near the Woolworths supermarket and across the road from the Willow Court, built in the 19th Century and formerly...
