Tassievore “Eat Local” Challenge
Last year I was vaguely aware of Tassievore Eat Local Challenge, which was a six-month challenge for participants to include as much Tasmanian food as possible in their diet. I gathered that the serious Tassievores were intending to eat nothing but Tasmanian-sourced food over the six months, but that...
scrapbooking
It feels like forever since I’ve completed a scrapbooking layout. Last night was our first night back at our scrapping sessions at the local store. I went with the intention of sorting out some Project Life photos and looking at the layouts in my “Work In Progress” album, getting...
east coast retreat (sunday selections)
I’m linking up with River for Sunday Selections today with some photos of our recent getaway. We went away for a few days to the East Coast of Tasmania. It’s not an area I know well, though I have visited parts of the coast previously and I have vague...
P365 – Day 336 – up in the sky
This afternoon, just after lunch, we were treated to an aerobatic display by the Air Force Roulettes, which are in town for the celebrations of the 200th Anniversary of the Anglesea Barracks. It was spectacular to watch and we got a great view, especially when they were passing over the...
P365 – Day 286 – a day in the life
Apparently it’s my birthday today. I took the day off work, because I really don’t like to be at work on my birthday. Last year I had Juniordwarf with me – this year he was at school, so I had a rare day at home by myself. Here are...
P365 – Day 254 – travel-log day 1 (11/09/2011)
Today’s schedule: Get up at 4.00 am for a 6.00 am flight to Canberra via Melbourne. Pick up hire car. Drive to Adaminaby via Cooma. The map Slabs and I gave Juniordwarf his own little trolley case as an advance birthday present yesterday, so he could have his things...
P365 – Day 150 keg of sound
A few weeks ago Slabs bought a case of beer. There was a promotion running at the bottle shop to win an iPod dock/speaker in the form of a keg of said beer. You got an entry into the draw with every case you bought. As you do with...
P365 – Day 82 it’s been a long day
Time to relax now....
P365 – Day 58 – return to the Farm Bar (27/2/2011)
Today Two Metre Tall (remember them?) had their second Sunday Farm Bar. It was a beautiful late summer day, perfect weather for a picnic, a BBQ featuring Two Metre Tall’s finest beer-fed beef and, of course, real ale and cider. Unfortunately my favourite ale, Forester, seems to be everyone...
P365 – Day 49 dinner and ale (18/02/2011)
Tonight Juniordwarf’s grandmother stayed at our house to babysit while we went out for dinner with a group of friends. We had a great time. I especially enjoyed partaking in a couple of Two Metre Tall’s fine ales. Forester is my favourite. I’m really looking forward to the next...
