| here I sit in my jim jams | May 17, 2012 | Way back in February I requested that I work from home every Friday. Yes, wonderful, that’s fine Wendy. It’s now the end of Week 11 of the term and I am having my first Friday working from home. The term has been hectic to say the least and there always seemed to be something that […] |
| I’m betting on the Dickens | February 4, 2012 | We waved goodbye to January and welcomed in what I think is the worst month of the year – February. Why so bad? It’s stinky hot here in sub-tropical Queensland and it’s too short. Suddenly I seem to be running out of time on everything. This year it was made worse by having to go […] |
| Would you like some potato salad with that? | December 26, 2011 | Gosh it seems like just a couple of days since Christmas. The years really do go quickly as you get older…..Wait a minute! Yes, that’s right….It’s second Christmas today for me. This time with my aunty, uncle and cousin (and grandmother again). We did the hot food thing on Christmas day so today is salad, […] |
| tatty decorations, watermelon salad and marinated lamb | Christmas this year was a quiet affair with just me, my parents, my sister and my 90 year old Grandmother.

| A spot of millinery on a Monday | October 31, 2011 | Many of you may be attending Melbourne Cup events tomorrow. With this in mind I thought I would share my last minute millinery tips with you. Firstly, you must find a hat. I think that any old hat will do. For instance this year I have chosen my second best gardening hat. I have had […] |

| and your wii age is….. | May 21, 2011 | 48! That was a pleasant discovery last night after I had spent an hour fiddling around with cables and remotes and other bits and pieces to finally get the thing set up. As the Wii kindly informed me that is 11 years older than my actually age. Yes, thank you very much. I can do […] |
| it’s a holiday apparently | June 13, 2010 | So it’s a holiday apparently. Here in little old Bundaberg it’s grey and drizzly at the moment which puts paid to any outside activities. (not that I had any planned). Instead I have to finally finish a book without falling asleep after ten pages. This is necessary because a review of it then needs to […] |
| the new arrivals | June 12, 2010 | There have been two new arrivals in the house this week. Here they are. Have some fun guessing which one I will enjoy more. For instance this is the first official blog post from the first picture. My lovely and more technically clever brother is visiting this weekend. He set up my laptop properly, expressed […] |
