Stuck in the Slow Lane

March 5th, 2010 · No Comments

Every time we go to the airport we are too early and have time to kill. This time we left a little later and got caught up in traffic. It was stressful! I take my hat off to people who travel in the city. I nearly stacked into the back of a car that seemed […]

Braces

March 3rd, 2010 · No Comments

Tom is home frequently to get his braces attended to. I didn’t want him to get braces, but now I am glad because they mean I see my son more than I would have. He’s been promoted since the last trip to a ‘workplace trainer’, which means he’ll be doing some extra study at his […]

Progress and Exes

The Jolly Blur that has been this week

December 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment

It’s hard to believe it’s less than a week since Asha’s 21st. What a packed week I’ve had! It’s all been lovely and I have seen most of the people I love this week. I miss Kate and Tom today, but had Tom here this time last week for the weekend, which almost makes up […]

Happy Days

November 14th, 2009 · 2 Comments

My son came home for the weekend last night. He just gave me a hug and said “I love waking up here”. I can’t express how good that feels to me. I miss him so much that I can’t think about it anymore when he is away. When he is here it is a joy. […]

Why So Fast?

October 11th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Weekends just fly by lately. This one was no exception. Yesterday was a leisurely day. We had brunch out and had a bit of a stroll around the shops. I love Traralgon’s shops because they aren’t all in a centre devoid of natural light and air.  I heard a rumour, JB HiFi are planning a local outlet, so […]

The Restaurant Email Revisited

October 10th, 2009 · No Comments

Earlier this year I posted about an email I’d received about a local restaurant. We have been back to this place several times since then and have never been disappointed. The place has consistently good food and a nice ambience. In all honesty I have found the service to be excellent.
Last night we went again […]

Welcome Spring

September 2nd, 2009 · 2 Comments

Today on yard duty the girls were complaining about their heavy winter uniforms as the sun was out and the air was warm again. I realised it was spring, only a day late. Tonight I noticed my purple tulips had flowered and I appreciated the gift for the third year.  
Below is a picture of the […]

Discovering Kongwak

August 31st, 2009 · No Comments

Darin and I went for a drive this afternoon to Cape Patterson. We were taking off from Warragul and went through the green hills on the windy roads and came across Kongwak between Korumburra and Wonthaggi. We stopped.
It’s a small place, yet it had a really colourful Market.  The people there knew the teenage kids by […]
