P365 – Day 296 – find your passion
Go directly to the garden. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. I’m one of those people who never knew what they wanted to do after they finished school. I was the career guidance teacher’s number one nightmare, and my parents despaired that I was never going make...
P365 – Day 294 – camping day 2 (21/10/2011)
After a night of very little sleep, courtesy of a range of factors, including the ever-so-comfortable single air mattress, the party music and late night outbursts from our fellow campers and, quite possibly, some members of our party being rabid snorers*, it was nice to wake up in the...
P365 – Day 293 camping day 1 (20/10/2011)
Slabs and I had been talking about going camping* for a while, but we weren’t sure when we wanted to go or where. Today was Hobart Show Day holiday, and like a lot of other people, we decided to take advantage of this by taking tomorrow off work as...
P365 – Day 292 – dinner
Thank you for dinner tonght, Mr Tall!...
P365 – Day 268 – let’s talk about housework
I loathe and detest housework with every bone in my body really don’t much like housework. I’m not very good at keeping things tidy. The concept of ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’, while being the cornerstone of every decluttering/home organisation book I’ve never read, is...
P365 – Day 261 – picnicking (18/09/2011)
Slabs and I got a well-earned sleep in this morning, and the family got to experience the fun that is Juniordwarf waking up early on a Sunday morning! We met Lil Sis and Mr Tall for a picnic lunch at Weston Park and a ride on the miniature railway. ...
P365 – Day 260 – sight-seeing and partying (17/09/2011)
We went shopping this morning, then did a bit of sight-seeing. Or rather, we went to Parliament House. Juniordwarf loved the water feature at the front of Parliament House, and insisted on dipping his feet in. After that, we drove up Mount Ainslie to show Juniordwarf Canberra from above....
P365 – Day 259 – remembering (16/09/2011)
Today marked two years since my father passed away. I wanted to do something to remember him, but wasn’t really sure what would be the right thing to do, especially since we’d be on holidays. I decided that, as Dad had served in the military and had spent many...
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...
P365 – Day 257 – travel-log Day 4 (14/09/2011)
Today was the last day of our road trip, from Tumut to Canberra. Goodbye Grandma & Grandad We did the obligatory stop at the Dog on the Tuckerbox (where Juniordwarf, upon learning that we didn’t know the Dog’s name, decided that its name was Charlotte). We’d stopped there the...
