Adam and I have registered to ride in the 2009 Melbourne Summer Cycle. It is in aid for MS and their goal this year is to raise $350,000 and already they’ve past the $150,000 mark. It’s a 40 km ride around Melbourne, which includes going over the West Gate Bridge. And for those of you who…
This is our new kitten. If you read Saturday’s post, you will notice a) she is not black and white and b) her name is not ‘Tessie’. We cannot settle on a name, ‘Tessie’ just doesn’t seem right, so if you have any suggestions, please go right ahead. She IS a girl though, which is…

Keira has just begun her third year of preschool. Technically, she could be starting ‘big school’ but we held her over that year because she was born right on the cut-off cusp. I mean, her playgroup mates, who were born only two days after her had to wait that extra year so I didn’t see…
Q: You talk about your new garden and I wonder if you’ve got any of your worm compost to spread on it? To explain, this time last year we’d just purchased a worm farm. Unfortunately, not long after I wrote that post the worms went back up to Mr. Worm Creator In The Sky. I…
