It (almost) begins – NaBloPoMo 2008!

October 31, 2008

This is the point where my husband will throw up his hands and say, “You want to know why you’re going to naturopaths and gulping down awful homeopathic tonics and food charting and a half dozen other things to stop-gap your body falling apart? It’s because you keep signing up for these sorts of things!” [...]

We grow a delicious garden – not like WE know that yet though…

October 30, 2008

Here’s a shot from our brand-new garden last week. Well, here it is now: Yes, fortification became necessary. Our precious babies need to be protected from the predators that roam our neighbourhood at night. I came out one morning this week to see every bush – except the tomatoes; apparently possums don’t like them – [...]

Considering being vaccinated for the “Hewlett Packard” virus

October 28, 2008

On Sunday, don’t ask me how, but my husband and I got onto discussing my uterus. “I know I should have the vaccination,” said I. “Then why don’t you?” “Because my sister said it hurt,” said I, pouting. “Plus, I don’t get it for free. I’m just that little bit old. I have to pay for it.” [...]

Welcome to any new ABC listeners

October 27, 2008

This morning I had a lovely fun and relaxed talk with Fiona Wyllie from ABC Mid North Coast and if anyone’s popped over from that I’d like to extend a big hello! and welcome! I know it was possible to listen to the interview live, but I will check a little later to see if [...]

‘Dress Up Day’ makes mama proud

October 26, 2008

Keira’s preschool had a ‘dress up as what you want to be when you grow up’ day last week. So among the girls there were princesses and fairies galore. Don’t think I’m being sarcastic or snide when I say this because, truly, at four years of age that’s all I would have wanted to dress [...]

Going to be on the radio again

October 25, 2008

For those of you interested, I’m going to be interviewed on ABC Mid North Coast NSW sometime shortly after 9.20am this coming Monday (27th October). It is possible – I believe – to listen live, or there will be a podcast available later. We will be talking about Surprise! and I believe they’re going to hold a [...]

In a family of gardening-haters we now have a vegetable garden. FANCY THAT.

October 24, 2008

This was the hitherto unkempt and disgusting corner of our garden once marked out to be ‘The Cubby House Area’ for when we were going to get the said construction. However, money (cubbies! are $$$!!) and boredom on Adam’s part one weekend meant that instead we got this. Now, considering my recent environmental freakout I actually am [...]
