P365 -Day 212 – the sound of music
As well as being a talented artist, my grandmother played the piano. When Lil Sis and I were young, one of our family traditions was that we’d all get in the car and drive to our grandparents house on Sunday afternoons. They lived in a huge house in what...
P36 – Day 211 – cherry ripe (30/07/2011)
This morning we went out for coffee and cake at our friends’ coffee shop. Juniordwarf usually gets a babycino (he has his own coffee loyalty card) and one of the yummy slices. His favourite is the cherry ripe slice. He used to eat it all, but recently has taken...
P365 – Day 210 – cloud vs mountain (29/07/2011)
I thought this was a great view of Mt Wellington. The top of the mountain was covered in cloud, and there was another layer of cloud beneath that, but you could just make out the mountain through a few gaps in the second cloud layer. Once I looked at...
P365 – Day 209 – pen amnesty
A few weeks ago, the wonderful people at NoteMaker announced a Pen Amnesty, where you could trade in your ugliest, dodgiest pen for a shiny new one from their online store. All you had to do is upload a picture of your offensive pen, and then you would get...
P365 – Day 208 – did someone say it was cold?
Well it is. This was our thermometer this morning. I think it says -2 degrees. Not as cold as some of my friends in the US experience, but still cold. Yes, it is a very old, extremely unattractive thermometer (and the full thing looks even worse than the closeup)...
P365 – Day 207 – . . . and biscuits
What else follows tea, if not biscuits? On Tuesdays Juniordwarf and I cook biscuits for him to take to school for morning tea over the rest of the week. Ever since the start of the year, we’ve made ANZACs. Every single Tuesday. He now knows the recipe word-perfect, gets...
P365 – Day 206 – tea time
I went to the naturopathica today to stock up on some herbal teas. I am hoping the ‘cold and flu’ tea provides some relief from my head cold. ...
sunday selections – hipstamatic
I thought I’d use the opportunity to participate in Kim’s Sunday Selections project to show off some of the Hipstamatic photos I took this week. On Monday I wrote about how, at the suggestion of one of my Twitter friends, I was going to use the Hipstamatic app for...
P365 – Day 205 – the scrapbooking shop is closed
Earlier this week I wrote about how Juniordwarf loves to describe the route to wherever we’re going in great detail. He does it in the car and he does it when we walk Sleepydog. Yesterday when we were out walking with Sleepydog, Juniordwarf asked if we could walk to...
P365 – Day 204 – they won’t peck me
We went to watch our local footy team play today. Because there was a function being held in the area we usually go to, we sat on the boundary fence to watch the game. Juniordwarf got a bucket of hot chips – as you do at the footy –...
