P365 – Day 347 – shortbread
A while ago Juniordwarf and I made shortbread using the 3:2:1 recipe. Today we made some more. Stars this time. In case you’re ever wondering how many stars you can get out of 750 g flour, 500 g butter and 250 g caster sugar, the answer is 66. That’s...
P365 – Day 346 – stairs
One of the things ‘they’ say you can do to increase your fitness is to take the stairs at work instead of the lift. I have several flights of stairs to get to my workplace. I’ve climbed up all of them a few times. It wasn’t a pleasant experience....
P365 – Day 345 – Kangaroo Cook (11/12/2011)
A while ago Juniordwarf started talking about a character called Kangaroo Cook. I assumed that it was a character from a book he’d read at school or a DVD he’d seen somewhere. I searched on the library catalogue and I googled, but to no avail, I couldn’t find anything...
P365 – Day 344 – lunar eclipse (10/12/2011)
After our visit to our friends’ place in the Huon, we made good on our plan to go tenting* in their back yard. It was a great idea, because it meant we didn’t have to rush home in time for dinner, so we could catch up properly, have a...
P365 – Day 343 – downpour
I got held up at work today. Luckily Slabs was taking Juniordwarf to get his hair cut and buy a present for his friend’s birthday, and by the time I’d finished everything I had to do, so had they, and we were all ready to leave at about the...
P365 – Day 342 – running (Flashback Friday)
I thought I might try out the Flashback Friday concept and see how it works. I first saw the idea on Nicole’s blog a while ago and I think it fits in quite well with the ‘Past-Present-Future’ theme of my blog. Ok, so today is actually Thursday, not Friday, but this...
P365 – Day 341 – meeting
Work day meetings. We have a lot of stuff to do in the coming months....
P365 – Day 340 – 19 days til xmas
A few years ago, in a rare fit of Xmas nostalgia, I bought a ‘beyond the page’ wooden Xmas tree from Kaisercraft. Kaiser had a few example trees on their website and in their workshop magazine, but they all looked a bit too, well, Christmassy. (Yes, it is a...
P365 – Day 339 – i wear my mittens at night
Juniordwarf has two pairs of fingerless gloves. Red ones and blue ones. He calls them ‘mitttens’. Recently he’s started wearing his ‘mittens’ to bed, ‘to keep [his] hands warm’. Sometimes he wears socks too, to keep his feet warm. Of course. The funny thing about this is, he’s often...
P365 – Day 338 – trellis
This is part of Slabs’ masterplan for his shed, aka The Beer Barn. Previously there was an old, low, very dodgy trellis held up pretty much only by the plants climbing over it. This weekend he put a flash new big trellis in place. I like it because it...
