After our yummy dinner the night before, we all slept in this morning. The cottage was so very dark and quiet. Breafast was included with our deal. We could choose from cereal, fresh home made bread with jam, and eggs, as well as plunger coffee. Slabs set to work...

Friday 12 June started out cold at home, but warmed up very nicely during the day to about 13 degrees. Yesterday had been intense, and I was feeling all sorts of things all at once. I stayed up way too late last night and looked and felt like it...

On Wednesday I went with Juniordwarf’s class on an excursion all about rubbish. The other parents who had volunteered for this task joined the class and one of the older classes in the morning for a walk to Salamanca. Moving 50+ kids in a walking train is no easy...

It’s become a bit of a tradition for us to go away in the middle of January for a few days. Last year we went to Bruny Island, and this year we decided to take a trip to the north of the state. Our destination on the first day...

A couple of weeks ago I was having a moan on Twitter that I couldn’t think of anything to take photos of for this project and one of my Twitter friends suggested that I check out the Hipstamatic app. She’d been posting some really lovely photos, which were very...

Earlier in the week, Juniordwarf told me he’d made a flower at school. I said that sounded lovely, and asked if he was going to bring it home so I could see it. He said no. I didn’t give it much more thought, and then today when I picked...
