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 309 – Oatlands (05/11/2011)
A while ago, on a trip back home from somewhere, we stopped in Oatlands for lunch. We didn’t have time to have a good look at the town but saw there were a few interesting little places that we thought might be fun to explore. So we decided 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 232 – party! (20/08/2011)
Slabs and I went to a friend’s ‘milestone’ birthday party. We dutifully shipped Juniordwarf off to his grandmother’s place for the night (as usual, as soon as we got there he was keen for me to leave, almost pushing me out the door. It’s so nice to feel wanted.)...
P365 – Day 197 – date night (16/07/2011)

P365 – Day 93 autumn festival (Sunday Selections)
On a chilly, windy autumn day, where the rain threatened but never arrived, we went to our town’s Autumn Festival. After a bumpy start, where the ever-present wind blew Juniordwarf’s lunch off the table, upsetting him to the point he wanted to go home . . . ‘I don’t...
P365 Day 3 – Paws at Puddleduck (3/1/2011)
Premble: This is a previously unpublished post from Day 3. I was waiting for the recipient of the book to receive it, because of the very very slim chance that she might stumble upon the project and find out about it before the surprise. Now it’s all done, I...
P365 – Day 65 Plenty
Today we completed our tour of wineries we hadn’t been to by visiting Kinvarra Estate Wines just outside the small town of Plenty, in the Derwent Valley. The homestead was built in 1827. The vineyard has a great view up the Valley. Someone forgot their polarising filter. Again. The...
