Hooooooooooooot.

January 29, 2009

Just in case you haven’t heard… it’s HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT in these here parts. I have things to do, posts to blog, washing to wash… but instead we’ve escaped to the land of foxtel, free food, grandparentss and AIRCONDITIONING for a few days. So all those other things will have to wait a few days until this [...]

Ten Ways to Stay Cool with Small Children.

January 27, 2009

It’s freakishly hot in our part of the world at the moment, and set to get even hotter before the week is out. We don’t have air-conditioning or a swimming pool (I wish on both accounts) so four 40 degree days (that’s about 104 Fahrenheit) in a row isn’t going to be much fun with [...]

Potatoes and more…

January 26, 2009

Today we are turning the above potatoes into potato salad to share with friends who are coming for an early Australia Day dinner. We grew all those potatoes!

Well it was rather posh, if you don’t mind sitting in Hamer Hall at the Art’s Centre with hundreds of little girls watching the English National Ballet production of Angelina Ballerina. The Planning Queen, who regularly posts at Planning With [...]

January 20, 2009

Today marks the first day of my bonus year. Ever since the girl’s birthday they have been mildly obsessed with finding out how old everyone and everything is. They know my birthday is after Christmas, and ever since Christmas Day they have been asking me how old I will be. I’m all for upfront honesty [...]
