P365 – Day 284 – moonwatch

Juniordwarf has recently become rather obsessed with the album Tubular Bells III by Mike Oldfield.  It all started when he was watching a movie I’d made of our holiday to the mainland to visit relatives and friends when he was seven months old. One of the tracks I used...

P365 – Day 283 – tax time

I have no idea why completing this simple little form* took me so long tonight, but it did. It would have been a lot easier if the tax office’s online system was compatible with my computer! I’ve already ranted enough about that tonight so I won’t do it again....

P365 – Day 282 – recovery

Today was a day of recovery from yesterday’s fun (hmmm . . . yesterday’s ale might be more of the reason recovery was needed . . .). Here are some photos of what we did.  Sunday driving through Bushy Park. This is one of the hopfields River Derwent My old...

P365 – Day 281 – two metre tall (8/10/2011)

This weekend is the official opening of Two Metre Tall’s Farm Bar season.  Yay! Scenic! To celebrate, the Farm Bar is open all weekend. Yay! Juniordwarf learns self-photography Lil Sis kindly agreed to drive us, so we all squeezed into her car for the trip. We met up with...

P365 – Day 280 – misty river

I love looking at the mist in the hills and on the river as we drive in to work in the morning. I just realised, it’s exactly the same spot as I took this photo at back in March....

P365 – Day 279 – the wonky donkey

The Wonky Donkey was top of Juniordwarf’s wish list for his birthday. Fortunately I knew what he was talking about when he asked for it, because we’d read the book and listened to the CD at one of his Playgroup sessions last year. If you haven’t heard of this...

P365 – Day 278 – sticky notes

Last week I mentioned that my counsellor suggested for me to make a to-do list, but to only put three things on the list. The idea behind that was to put three things that I wanted or needed to do that day, and that without overwhelming myself with a...

P365 – Day 277 – playing cricket

Juniordwarf got a plastic cricket set for his third birthday. The first time we used it was a couple of months later when we went away to the beach for a weekend with Aunty Purple Bee. But he really hasn’t been interested in playing cricket up until now. I...

P365 – Day 276 – bye bye Mum

When I was leaving the house this morning to go to work, I went into Juniordwarf’s room to say goodbye to him. As usual he was awake, so we said goodbye and I told him he could wave to me out of his window if he wanted to. He’s...

P365 – Day 275 – MORE housework!

Today I decided I really needed to follow on from last weekend’s cleaning frenzy  On today’s list were Juniordwarf’s bedroom and the laundry.  Both of these are rooms that kind of terrify me. With Juniordwarf’s room, I think it’s going to be a matter of working with him to...
