P365 – Day 90 backup

Let’s just say I’ve been a bit lax in backing up the external hard drive that all my movies of Juniordwarf’s life are stored on. I have multiple DVD copies but, until today, only one set of files. They are currently in the process of being backed up to...

P365 Day 89 – peppermint slice

This is one of my favourite things . . . a peppermint slice from the Salamanca Bakehouse in Hobart. When I was studying at uni, I used to love the peppermint slices from the Ref. They were huge square things with a hard biscuit type base, a lot of...

P365 Day 3 – Paws at Puddleduck (3/1/2011)

Premble: This is a previously unpublished post from Day 3. I was waiting for the recipient of the book to receive it, because of the very very slim chance that she might stumble upon the project and find out about it before the surprise. Now it’s all done, I...

From dinosaurs to horses . . . Today we went to the Hamilton Show. It’s a fantastic country show, held at the end of March every year. It’s one of the local shows that we attend regularly. This year they had pony rides for the kids. Juniordwarf had a great...

P365 – Day 85 i learned a thing or two today

I thought it would be fun to go to the Dinosaur Petting Zoo today. It’s part of the Ten Days on the Island arts festival, which is held every two years in Tasmania. I thought Juniordwarf would love the opportunity to get up close and personal with some dinosaurs,...

P365 – Day 84 assembly and the special steps

Today Juniordwarf’s kinder class participated in its first school assembly. Parents were welcome to attend, so there was no way I was going to miss this. Last night there was a wine and cheese evening at the school to welcome new kinder parents and give us a chance to...
