The 2012 Great Pumpkin Carnival
On Sunday we went along to the 2012 Great Pumpkin Carnival at Hamilton Gardens. Our friend Sam is one of the organisers - and a grower of giant pumpkins - and Ken and the kids had been before. I had been told it would be a lot of fun. Plus it was a beautiful day in...
Tuesday Rocks p5
The last time I wrote a Tuesday Rocks post was when Daylight Savings had just started. Now we are on the other end of it and Daylight Savings is ending. Summer is over - not that it really ever began - the mornings are a lot darker and it is getting more and more...
Dude! Where’s my Concentration?
Have I lost my focus? Did I ever really have it? As 2012 storms along, I am aware that there are still things on my task list that I was thinking about doing at the beginning of the year. Small tasks, ones that will take around - or less than - an hour are starting...
The ‘Getaway Weekend’
Marcia and I have been planning this for a while. I'm going to pretend it was all about the two of us getting out to the Poor Knights Islands for a day of diving .... but in all reality it was a little more than that. On a Friday afternoon, Ken drove up from Hamilton...
Early is good
First time in a while that I have been super early for something. So I thought I would celebrate. And it takes the sting out of only being in Melbourne for one might when the city deserves so much more!
What It Is
I have had more than one go at writing this post this morning and I am still unsure about the title. I can't decide between What It Is or What It Should be but then I found this image ... It Is What It Is. So it is What It Is. I had to stop myself this morning. I...
Dominating my Kindle & The 50 Book Challenge – Round 2
I totally nailed the Goodreads 50 Book Challenge in 2011, so I've signed up to do it again. Yea sure, I could increase it (I hear you cry 'Challenge Yourself!") but 50 WAS a challenge so I'm happy with that number. And no, I still haven't read Women, Food and God. In...
Help Me Choose What Drafts I Will Finally Finish
Some days I start to write and the idea gets stuck. No amount of coffee or searching for images will tie together the thoughts I have and the notes that I make. My drafts folder is starting to annoy me. There are 20 posts that I have started and never completed....
I am a ‘Kreativ Blogger’
It is lovely to see a link to my site pop up in my Dashboard. It is even nicer to receive a comment on a post. Having Angela from My Daily Creativity nominate me as one of her 7 Kreativ bloggers was the icing on the cake today. Today was a very very good day. More...
Photo Friday – Floral
This weeks Photo Friday: "Floral" Until I started the 365 Project, I very rarely took photographs of flowers. They didn't interest me at all. Things have definitely changed. Flowers are more intricate that I ever imagined. Photographing them and showing off their...
Sent ourselves to Wellington – aka Tattoo Thursday
WARNING: This post contains lots of photographs!! Having a tattoo session booked with Simon for some more work on my sleeve was a great excuse for a mini break - and for Ken and my first weekend 'away' together. I had an ulterior motive as well ... I really wanted to...
February 2012 iPhone Collage
This months - well February's - post is basically on time! Being on time makes a nice change for the month as I feel as if I have been in catch up mode with the 365 Project and with the Feb Photo A Day challenge that I completed. Trying to do all of them might have...
