Walk in her Shoes #2
A few weeks ago I bought myself a Fitbit tracker with some money I got for Christmas. I wasn’t sure whether to take the plunge, but there’s a dedicated Fitbit cult in my Twitter feed who finally convinced me I needed to join them. After much pondering and comparing the...
Walk in Her Shoes
I first heard about CARE Australia’s Walk in Her Shoes Challenge a few weeks ago. It’s an annual challenge to raise funds for CARE’s work in supporting women and girls living in poverty. Participants sign up to walk a certain amount over the week of 17-24 March. There are...
Bruny Island – day 1 (part 2)
My criteria for a campsite are quite simple. I like my comforts. Specifically, I like to stay somewhere with an “amenities block”. I have done roughing it camping (aka Proper Camping) in the distant past, so to distinguish that from what we normally do, I shall refer to our...

P365 – Day 240 – some of what we did today
This morning I looked into Juniordwarf’s room and this is what I saw: He said he was lining up all the numbers. He’d obviously run out of room at the bed and had to continue the sequence under his bed. He was taking one number or one picture under...
P365 – Day 205 – the scrapbooking shop is closed
Earlier this week I wrote about how Juniordwarf loves to describe the route to wherever we’re going in great detail. He does it in the car and he does it when we walk Sleepydog. Yesterday when we were out walking with Sleepydog, Juniordwarf asked if we could walk to...
