Canberra & NSW travel blog part 4: Tumut
Day 5 & 6: Tumut & Blowering Dam—and heading home I wrote about my morning in Tumut and our walk on the Adelong sculpture trail in part 3. After we’d finished at the sculpture trail, we drove back to Tumut. Blowering Dam Slabs wanted to continue the nostalgia journey...
Back to the future: part 1
I started this blog in January 2011, so this month is its tenth anniversary. Happy Blogiversary to me! It’s changed a lot since then and I’ve had periods when I’ve blogged a lot and others where I have blogged very little. As a tenth anniversary thing, I thought it...
Week in review: 16-22 February 2015

it’s been a busy year
Regular readers of this blog (if I still have any left) will notice that this is my first post in over three months. I’m not really sure where to take this blog now. In 2011 I achieved my goal of blogging my 365 Project every day, and earlier this...
P365 – Day 305 – the best dog in the world (01/11/2011)

P365 – Day 290 – birthday festivities continue
My other birthday present from Slabs arrived in the mail today – a gift pack from Disaster Bay Chillies. With a name like that, what’s not to like? The gift pack includes Chipotle Sauce, Chilli Wine Jelly, Spicy Kasoundi and (wait for it) Hot Chilli Wine – made not...
P365 – Day 289 – flourless chocolate and orange cake
I was going to make a cake on Thursday, but I couldn’t be bothered. I had so much more stuff to do! Today was wet, raining and cold, so it was the perfect opportunity. I made this cake last year (yes, I only make one cake a year), and...
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 258 – happy birthday (15/09/2011)
Today was Juniordwarf’s birthday. He’d been so excited about it: the holiday, being with Slabs’ family, getting a pirate cake . . . and he said he was going to wear his pirate suit all day. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday he said he...
