Last week Slabs, Juniordwarf and I went camping at Mt Field National Park. We really love going there, and it’s been the subject of several previous posts (examples here and  here). It’s wonderful to be so close to such a beautiful place, so peaceful and so far removed from...

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...

A post for Frogpondsrock’s Sunday Selections, where you get to post some of your unseen photos and look at everyone else’s pictures. Earlier this week, Slabs, Juniordwarf and I went to Russell Falls, which is located in the Mt Field National Park. I’ll admit that, although I’m a Tassie...

So I’m not doing a photo and a post a day, but I still need to keep track of what’s been happening so that I can keep up to date with my 2012 Project Life album and don’t get five months behind like I did in 2011. The main...

What a busy morning we had! First up Juniordwarf went to his swimming lesson.  Then he and I went to an Xmas party at his daycare centre, where he got his face painted and his nails done.  He went on the jumping castle and went for a train ride....

Since it’s Sunday and I took a lot of photos today, I thought I would join in Kim’s Sunday Selections at Frogpondsrock  this week. I never seem to be able to get my act into gear to hook out some old unseen photos for Kim, so new ones will...

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...
