P365 – Day 140 red awnings

If you’ve been into Central Hobart lately, you’re probably aware of the saga of the red awnings. The owners of the building that was formerly the Hobart Savings Bank at 26 Murray Street recently erected the awnings, but didn’t get permission from the local Council or the Tasmanian Heritage...

P365 – Day 139 morning walk

I went to a training course today. The course was held in South Hobart, and I arrived a bit early, so I went for a walk along the Hobart Rivulet for a few minutes before the course started. It’s a really pretty walk and was a lovely relaxing way...

P365 – Day 138 questions

I got the idea for today’s picture from Gretchen Rubin’s (from The Happiness Project) Facebook page, but it really rang true to me in relation to how my work is going at the moment. There are some big questions on my mind. On one level there’s a lot of...

P365 – Day 137 broccoli

You might remember back in February – coincidentally exactly 100 days ago – I planted some broccoli seedlings. I haven’t thought much of them since then, other than noting how well the snails have fed on them. Today I was hanging the washing out (part of my vege garden...

P365 – Day 135 i don’t want to go outside

Here are my photos for this week’s Sunday Selections over at Frogpondsrock. This afternoon at about half past three, Juniordwarf suddenly decided he wanted to go outside. We’d been inside all day, even though, as days nearing winter go, today wasn’t too bad. Still, I was quite cosy inside...

P365 – Day 134 open & closed

Juniordwarf is very interested in when shops open and close. He can read the words ‘open’ and ‘closed’ on shop signs. On Tuesday we went to a few shops while we were out, and in almost every one, he asked the person in the shop what time the shop...

P365 – Day 132 bandaids

Ever since Juniordwarf began to get fixated on particular things, we’ve wondered (in jest, of course) if this is an indication of his future career path. At a very young age he was obsessed with toilets, and everywhere we went he would find the toilet and spend an excessive...

P365 – Day 133 helping out (13/05/2011)

I signed up to do parent help at Juniordwarf’s class today. I had no idea what this would involve, other than that I’d be turning up and helping some of the children with an activity. I was the second cab off the rank. One of the other mums had...
