P365 – Day 263 – gardening

Juniordwarf said he wanted to go outside this morning, so I told him to go while I finished what I was doing. A while later I went out to see what he was doing. He’d put on his little gardening gloves, got his little digger and was in the...

P365 – Day 262 – flowers (19/09/2011)

Our last day. Juniodwarf, Slabs and I went to Floriade, Canberra’s annual spring festival with Grandma. We had a couple of hours there. Juniordwarf loved smelling the flowers, even the ones that weren’t scented. In amongst the stalls was the Chilli Factory, home of ‘the world’s hottest chilli’. They...

P365 – Day 261 – picnicking (18/09/2011)

Slabs and I got a well-earned sleep in this morning, and the family got to experience the fun that is Juniordwarf waking up early on a Sunday morning! We met Lil Sis and Mr Tall for a picnic lunch at Weston Park and a ride on the miniature railway. ...

P365 – Day 260 – sight-seeing and partying (17/09/2011)

P365 – Day 259 – remembering (16/09/2011)

Today marked two years since my father passed away. I wanted to do something to remember him, but wasn’t really sure what would be the right thing to do, especially since we’d be on holidays. I decided that, as Dad had served in the military and had spent many...

P365 – Day 258 – happy birthday (15/09/2011)

Today was Juniordwarf’s birthday. He’d been so excited about it: the holiday, being with Slabs’ family, getting a pirate cake . . . and he said he was going to wear his pirate suit all day. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday he said he...

P365 – Day 257 – travel-log Day 4 (14/09/2011)

Today was the last day of our road trip, from Tumut to Canberra. Goodbye Grandma & Grandad We did the obligatory stop at the Dog on the Tuckerbox (where Juniordwarf, upon learning that we didn’t know the Dog’s name, decided that its name was Charlotte). We’d stopped there the...
