This Weekend

February 15th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I have been an absolute sloth this weekend. I have slept a lot. I just haven’t been able to get motivated. I went to see ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ on Friday night. I was hoping to get some tips! It was ok, but not that funny really to me.
I did get to see […]

My Australia Day

January 27th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I had a brilliant day yesterday. I drove the kids into Flemington, they were all enthused and it was infectious. A great sunny day and lots of laughter. Arrived at Wilma’s and immediately jumped in the pool. It was a perfect afternoon of swimming and horsing around in the pool with delicious food and wine […]

Hanging Out With Jane

January 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Yesterday I drove to Jane’s sisters house out in the hills behind Warrandyte. What a fabulous location! I’d never been there before. She lives in a mud-brick, multi level home that is unique and reflects the owners well in it’s expressive, earth-loving, vibrant nature. It was the most blissful day! I met the Jessa, latest […]

Downtime….

January 15th, 2009 · No Comments

Andy’s phone line is down so I have taken this opportunity to have a guest post on Poohduck. How mercury retrograde is that! I have just changed the template on Poohduck and I like it. He hasn’t seen it yet, due to not being online since the changes were made… so hopefully he will approve.
I think I […]

Stripping Wallpaper

January 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I’ve spent most of the day stripping the second layer of paper from the walls of the upstairs spare bedroom today. When I first moved into my home, the three bedrooms had really disgusting vinyl wallpaper on them. Not anything that I could live with, that’s for sure. I got straight into ripping off the […]

My 2008

December 30th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I am reflecting on what I have achieved this year. December 2007 seems like a lifetime ago. It has been a pretty full year for me and an enjoyable one mostly.
We’ve got through Tom’s last year of going to school and now my work is done in child rearing. Now I’m a spectator in my […]

I Love Summer

December 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Today has been very busy. I’ve caught up with my second cousin, Laurie, at my Auntie’s passing through on his way to Tasmania. I haven’t seen him since my grandfathers funeral last year and that was a blur. I visited Andy’s sister… who is also heading to Tassie and I dropped some stuff off for her to […]

Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Leo - Friday August 1st 2008

July 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I read on Yasmin Boland’s weekly horoscope(link below) today:
“Remember that doors which slam shut at the time of an eclipse rarely open up again.”
I remembered the eclipses that occured around this time last year with a bit of flash and realised that I didn’t take that advice on board for a while and I struggled with […]

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

July 9th, 2008 · 3 Comments

This book is a delight. It’s uplifting and made laugh during the sad bits and sniffle when things were rosy. The central character, Lily, an innocent, imaginative and optimistic young girl with a hunger for love that leads her toward it in magical ways. I adored it and just have to quote some of my […]

Breaking the Rules

May 6th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Tonight I am putting up www.poohduck.com. I am hopeless at some aspects of blogging and I’ve been trying to get templates worked out and changed how I want them. I just don’t know enough yet! Thankfully Snoskred and Sephiroth have come to my rescue.
I wanted to take advantage of the new moon, so I have. […]
