P365 – Day 304 – work shoes

Apparently I have three pairs of work pants. I say apparently, because this morning when I got up at stupid o’clock to get ready for work I couldn’t find any of them. Not a single pair of work pants. Out of three pairs! I could have worn a skirt...

P365 – Day 303 – spice jars

I’ve been gradually buying new jars to store the random packets of spices and spice mixes that are lying round in what might loosely be described as our spice cupboard. I’ve also been replacing some of the old jars (jam jars, tomato paste jars, coffee jars) with the new...

P365 – Day 301 – waiting in the car

The view from the car while Juniordwarf and I were waiting for Slabs to finish his errrands. Also, I wrecked my journal a bit more today. And these were ideas I came up with myself – not instructions from the book. Backing the car over it Pigstabbering it...

P365 – Day 300 – the big 300

Another instalment in the occasional series on what pastpresentfuture is all about. You might also like to read Part 1 and Part 2. This is Day 300 of my Project 365 photo project.  Does anyone know what/where this is? That means I have taken at least one photo every day since 1...

P365 – Day 299 – wreck this journal

Earlier this year I bought a book called Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith. The subtitle of the book is ‘To Create Is To Destroy’. Bascially it is, as the name suggests, a book that you are supposed to wreck. Each page has an instruction for something you’re supposed...

P365 – Day 298 – yeah! cookies!

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might remember that Juniordwarf and I cook biscuits every Tuesday so that he has a treat to take to school for the rest of the week. Usually we make ANZACs, but we’ve also made shortbread and sometimes even choc-chip...

P365 – Day 297 – stationery stash

Waiting for me at the Post Office this morning was my latest stationery order from the lovely people at NoteMaker. My diaries for 2012 and a mini Delfonics pen. I am totally in love with these pens. I want more! I have a vague plan for keeping myself more...

P365 – Day 296 – find your passion

Go directly to the garden. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. I’m one of those people who never knew what they wanted to do after they finished school. I was the career guidance teacher’s number one nightmare, and my parents despaired that I was never going make...

P365 – Day 295 – stickyweed hell

Back in March, I wrote about my battle with the dead stickyweed in what is supposed to be my little piece of paradise. Well I haven’t learned my lesson, and seven months on, the stickyweed is back in full force. I spent a lot of today paying for this...
