P365 – Day 120 little shoes

Last night Juniordwarf as packing up before bedtime and he decided to put his shoes by the back door. Slabs told him to put them on the shoe rack. I didn’t realise until much later what he’d actually done.  It looked so sweet, I had to take a photo...

P365 – Day 119 sticker day (29/04/2011)

It was my turn to have a day off work to look after Juniordwarf during school holidays. He discovered some sticker booklets in the kitchen drawers (left overs from party bags) and announced ‘Friday is sticker day’. He then proceeded to award himself stickers (from various teachers at his...

P365 – Day 118 boat

I took this photo out of the car window on the way in to work this morning. It’s at Elwick Bay, where they’re building a boardwalk linking up parts of the Rosetta Foreshore. I thought it looked really cool with the sun shining through the fog and the boat on...

P365 – Day 117 empty house

Last time I took Sleepydog to the vet for her checkup, I mentioned that she’d been hobbling a bit for a day or two and then she’d be fine. It never seemed serious, wasn’t causing her any discomfort and only ever lasted a couple of days, so I didn’t...

P365 – Day 116 have a day

I spent a lot of time today continuing my clearing out of the study/spare room/library and fixing up my new scrapbooking space. (Oh, did I mention I have a new scrapbooking space? Who’d have thought?) Slabs did some decluttering today too, and found something in one of his boxes...

P365 – Day 114 it’s not perfect, but it’s mine

(Today’s title brought to you by Tim Minchin) Today I did something I decided on Friday to do.  There’s something I’ve been complaining about ever since my scrapbooking hobby became bigger than the dining table and started to spread across two rooms. I don’t have a scrapbooking space.  I can use...

P365 – Day 113 memories

Juniordwarf’s room is also home to some of Slabs’ and my stuff that hasn’t really had a home anywhere else in the house. I remember the top cupboard of the wardrobe in my room as a child served a similar purpose. Today we spent the whole day going through...

P365 Day 112 – singing in the rain

Today’s post is a bit of a follow-on from yesterday’s. We invited some friends over for a BBQ today. Because our house isn’t exactly set up for entertaining, we spent the afternoon outside. The weather wasn’t exactly BBQ weather. Actually it was one of those classic ‘four seasons in...

P365 – Day 111 the 21th of april (21/04/2011)

A few weeks ago I bought a wall calendar for Juniordwarf. It has space for the day, date, month, year, season and weather. Just recently, Juniordwarf has really gotten into putting up each day’s details. He knows the days of the week and he can recognise (or read?) each...
