P365 – Day 85 i learned a thing or two today
I thought it would be fun to go to the Dinosaur Petting Zoo today. It’s part of the Ten Days on the Island arts festival, which is held every two years in Tasmania. I thought Juniordwarf would love the opportunity to get up close and personal with some dinosaurs,...
P365 – Day 84 assembly and the special steps
Today Juniordwarf’s kinder class participated in its first school assembly. Parents were welcome to attend, so there was no way I was going to miss this. Last night there was a wine and cheese evening at the school to welcome new kinder parents and give us a chance to...
P365 – Day 79 wiggling
Juniordwarf and I went to the Wiggles concert today. Excellent quality phone photo! I’m not sure what else there is to say. We were a long way back from the stage, but directly in front, so we had a good view. None of the pictures turned out very well...
P365 – Day 77 the butty
Well now, where do I begin? I’m not sure how to explain this one. Months and months ago, maybe even years ago – I can’t remember how long – Juniordwarf started talking about ‘the butty’. Originally it sounded a bit like one of those pommie accents where they don’t...
P365 – Day 76 cutting it
A while ago, when it became apparent that Juniordwarf was left-handed, I bought some left-handed scissors for him, but he was never interested in cutting anything. Even when he had the opportunity at play group, he never made any attempt to use scissors. Now that they are doing cutting...
P365 – Day 75 athletic carnival
Today was the Kinder to Grade 2 Athletic Carnival at Juniordwarf’s school. He’d been very excited about it for the last week. From what I can tell, the Phys Ed teacher had been practising with the kinder kids what they needed to do in a running race. Juniordwarf had...
P365 – Day 74 brushing the dog
While I was brushing Sleepydog this morning, Juniordwarf said he wanted to help. So he did. I was thinking today how nice it is that he can, and does, help with some tasks around the house (brushing the dog being an exception). He’s been helping with the washing for...
P365 – Day 73 hamburgers
Today Slabs and Juiniordwarf made hamburgers for lunch. Yum!...
P365 – Day 69 pirate hat
School dropoffs are still a little traumatic. Juniordwarf is quite insistent that he doesn’t like school, he doesn’t want to go and he wants to go home – or to work with me. He isn’t convinced that my work is pretty boring and he’d have a much better time...
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...
