The other week I went to take a snap of something on the phone. It was late at night, but I thought that a well positioned shot of my nice linen with a book would be a nice closer for the day. So I got it out, went to take a shot and instead got this: I know! Are you OK? If it wasn't shocking … [Read more...]

You guys! I am UP. Vertical! It's a freaking Christmas miracle after two days of being completely wiped out. I don't know if it was all baby, or some bug, but I was SICK. But now, well now I feel OK! I got up and I made lunches and I cooked breakfast, made beds, walked the dog to school, dealt with … [Read more...]

30 minutes in my head

I'm not myself at the moment internet. I'm no good when Rob is away at the best of times, but throw in the fact that there is NO way to contact him until he gets home and my active imagination gets away from me. Last night I was awake from about 1.50am to 3.50am tossing and turning and thinking … [Read more...]

This week I am going it alone. Rob is away until Saturday so that means that come dinner time I can cook whatever I want! For me that's LOTS of veggies. Things I can whip up quickly just for one and eat on my lap on the couch in front of whatever TV I want! Chilli tuna dip with dukkah Brussel … [Read more...]

Got my costume sorted for tonight. It's really scary! All I have to do is cut a slice of cake, start eating it and then someone has to try and take that cake away from me. I think it will work perfectly no? I mean REALLY, how awful can one photo be?! Taken on the weekend I just had to share … [Read more...]

You know what I figured out a few years ago? You can't make all the people like you, all the time. Huh. I mean really, how on EARTH can no one like you Beth? I know right?! But it's true! There are people, that no matter what I do, what I say, they just don't get how I work. They don't … [Read more...]
Harper turned 5
October 28, 2014 by 59 Comments
It takes a really long time to get to five. A lifetime it seems when you are small. I think 5 holds some kind of magical power in the minds of little people...when they get to 5 all kinds of things will happen. I've heard so much "but when I turn 5...when I get to be 5..." and I think it might be … [Read more...]

I don't want to alarm anyone, but yesterday I was putting dates into the diary, and they were all fast booking up before...CHRISTMAS. It's coming. The odd shop is also telling me so, with window displays going up and the threat of x many weeks for shopping beginning. Although I really don't pay any … [Read more...]

You know what occurred to me last night? I haven't seen a bacon bit in YEARS. Yes, this is how my brain works. So I sent myself an email from my phone (as I do when things occur to me) with the title. Bacon bits? Bacon bits question mark INDEED. WHERE ARE THEY?

Trying ...to take photos of Frank, which is nearly impossible. He is growing SO much. Yesterday we had our first FULL day where there were NO weed or poos inside.

Around the grounds: spring!

This week has absolutely floored me. Actually, the previous weeks of preparation (mentally and physically) had floored me and this week when I FINALLY could slow down, I collapsed. I've been no good for nothing, or anyone, least of all insights on this blog. I've been outside a bit, eating a lot, … [Read more...]
