P365 – Day 252 – car wash

Juniordwarf and Slabs spent the day together today. By all accounts it was a good day. They did a whole range of ‘special activities’, did a tip run, took my car to the car wash, went up the street and went out for lunch together. When I got home...

P365 – Day 251 – more on tea

I know I wrote about my herbal teas last week, but today I finally found some containers the perfect size to hold the packs of loose leaf tea I’ve been buying. Up until now I’ve been keeping the teas in the plastic bags they came in, which is far...

P365 – Day 250 – hide and seek

Juniordwarf spent the day with his grandmother today and we stayed for dinner when we went to pick him up. Last week after dinner Juniordwarf wanted to play hide and seek with us, which was fun, and he wanted to play again tonight. Each time the person hiding got...

P365 – Day 249 – special activities

Juniordwarf loves talking about how they do ‘special activities’ at school, so somehow anything that is remotely crafty that we do at home has become a ‘special activity’ Today the Salvation Army was holding a ‘crazy crafts’ session through the Communities for Children program. That sounded like a whole...

P365 – Day 248 – out of the way!

On his first birthday, one of Juniordwarf’s presents was the “Grow’n’Go Ride-on”, which is a toy designed to grow with a kid from the time they’re a baby until they’re about three. It has a dashboard type control panel with a steering wheel, indicators, a throttle, a phone keypad,...

P365 – Day 247 – fathers day

When we picked Juniordwaf up from school on Thursday he had a wrapped present in his bag, which was for Slabs for Fathers Day. I had a pretty good idea of what it might be, so I couldn’t wait to see it today. Juniordwarf made Slabs’ card at Playgroup...

P365 – Day 245 – a day with the boy (2/09/2011)

Juniordwarf’s school had a student-free day and it was my turn to have a day off to spend with him. When he found out he’d be having the day with me, Juniordwarf planned out the ‘special acitivities’ that we’d be doing – making a Father’s Day card for Slabs...

P365 – Day 244 – 1/2 way in, I mean 2/3!

I was going to do this post as my ‘half-way through the 365 photos’ post, but other things got in the way, and I never quite made it. So here we are, it’s my ‘2/3 way through the year’ post. I’ve been thinking a lot about my blog lately....

P365 – Day 243 – tea (31/08/2011)

One of the things I’m trying to do in a quest to live a slightly more healthy life is to cut back my alcohol intake. My substitute beverages are various herbal teas. Proper loose leaf herbs, not tea bag versions. Not the most exciting tastes on the planet, but...
