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...
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 363 – fun afternoon (and year in review 10/12)
For today’s ‘let’s get out of the house’ trip, we ventured a little further afield and went to Alpenrail in Claremont. It’s a model Swiss Railway, which has been operating since 1985, and apparently is one of the biggest in the world. Juniordwarf had already been there with his...
P365 – Day 362 – Salmon Ponds (and year in review 9/12)
It was one of those afternoons where we just had to get out of the house, so we went for a short drive to the Salmon Ponds. Juniordwarf had fun feeding the rainbow trout (note if you will, the fine capture, by iPhone camera, of the fish food in...
P365 – Day 361 – the pirate caterpillar (and year in review 8/12)
Juniordwarf helped me in the garden. What I mean is, he played in his sandpit while I spent hours clearing out vegetation from various parts of our yard. Then he wanted me to fill his little clam shell pool up. I didn’t want to say no, because I’d already...
P365 – Day 360 – return to the purple carrots (and year in review 7/12)
Remember when Juniordwarf and I sowed the purple carrot seeds in June? Well they have taken a lot longer to grow than the 12-18 weeks suggested by the garden guides. In fact, only two of the seeds even grew into carrots. Today I thought one might be big enough to...

P365 – Day 358 – getting ready for Santa (and year in review 5/12)
I know I’m a bit ‘bah humbug’ about Christmas, and this year it feels like it’s snuck up on me faster than usual and I’ve been so busy that I haven’t got organised and just haven’t felt very festive at all. But this hasn’t stopped Juniordwarf, and his excitement...
P365 – Day 357 – Derwent Estate (23/12/2011) and year in review 4/12
So you’re driving home from work on December 23 and you see Derwent Estate Wines is open. Do you: (a) keep driving? (b) call in and get some wine for the festive season? Year in Review (month 4/12) Since my Project 365 is rapidly coming to an end, I’m going...
