P365 – Day 297 – stationery stash
Waiting for me at the Post Office this morning was my latest stationery order from the lovely people at NoteMaker. My diaries for 2012 and a mini Delfonics pen. I am totally in love with these pens. I want more! I have a vague plan for keeping myself more...
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 295 – stickyweed hell
Back in March, I wrote about my battle with the dead stickyweed in what is supposed to be my little piece of paradise. Well I haven’t learned my lesson, and seven months on, the stickyweed is back in full force. I spent a lot of today paying for this...
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 291 – goodbye nappies?
If there is one phrase to strike fear into the parent of most toddlers, it’s ‘toilet training’. Slabs and I had a really horrible time where we wanted to tear our hair out and scream in frustration and man it was awful and why won’t he just go to...
P365 – Day 290 – birthday festivities continue
My other birthday present from Slabs arrived in the mail today – a gift pack from Disaster Bay Chillies. With a name like that, what’s not to like? The gift pack includes Chipotle Sauce, Chilli Wine Jelly, Spicy Kasoundi and (wait for it) Hot Chilli Wine – made not...
P365 – Day 289 – flourless chocolate and orange cake
I was going to make a cake on Thursday, but I couldn’t be bothered. I had so much more stuff to do! Today was wet, raining and cold, so it was the perfect opportunity. I made this cake last year (yes, I only make one cake a year), and...
P365 – Day 288 – catching up (15/10/2011)
After Juniordwarf’s swimming lesson this morning, we travelled down to the Huon Valley to visit some friends who we hadn’t seen for ages. We had a lovely afternoon catching up, celebrating them finishing their university course and watching Juniordwarf get acquainted with their cats. The weather was exactly as...
