Never a Dull Moment

Last night I got a call from a friend.  He asked me where I was.  I said I was at home.  He asked why.  I thought that was a strange question, until he reminded me that I was meant to be at a dinner at church.  I had completely and utterly flaked.  

The dinner had already started, and I had already eaten dinner (of sorts-popcorn, rice and broccoli counts right?).  He persuaded me to come and I jumped on a bus and trekked down to Amstelveen.  And it was so worth it.  It was an Asian tour of culinary delights.  I only had little portions though as my Hobbit-like second-meal capacities are not quite as large as I would like.  

I did, however, learn a valuable lesson.  Even if your Macdonaldness means you are dying over the fact that you have completely forgotten something and you're going to be an hour late, go anyway.  Maybe you'll meet some great people, eat some great food, and have a great laugh over your ridiculous flakiness.  Yup, I got a happy ending after all!

Not Being Whisked Away


Andrew is somewhere in the skies on his way to Australia right now.  And I'm in Amsterdam, not whisking, not being whisked, just studying, and eating more popcorn (I think I have a problem).  I am, however, being kept company by these beautiful tulips.  Andrew couldn't take me to sunshine (thankyou exams) so he brought a little sunshine to me.  Hope they brighten your day as much as they're sparkling in mine.

Whisked Away

I am being whisked away by the man I love, by the man that is my match, by the man that 10 years ago today cried and said I do....forever.

What you wear....

.....tells a lot about who you are. What were people thinking when I wore this on a cold old day in Spring? I think all those yummy mummy's have a good old chuckle when they see me....oh well, I laugh at myself most days. Just happy to be free to be who I am and wear what I like. Love being 35 and not 15!

I got that creative feelin'

Some things I have made in the last little while.Pj shorts for Connor. I forgot how easy shorts were to make...these took about half an hour from start to finish...ok for Pj's but out on the town he really does need a zip!Kenzi needed a swimming bag. I actually put a zipper in...yeh me!Bath bags for all of us in the bathroom. All our toothbrushes, hairstuff and what- nots go in here so they don't clutter the bathroom floor!spinach and ricotta cannelloni......yum

Melbourne Cup Fashion

Every Tuesday morning some of my crafty friends and I get together and go all arty farty. It is a great way to get motivated to finish unfinished projects and be inspired by what others are making. This week our Tuesday happened to fall on Melbourne cup day and so we decided to frock up and have some fun. I only got one photo of 2 of the ladies and they were hanging the washing! I took a photo of me when I got home...not bad for having jumped out of the shower and throwing something on and pinning my hair back! I love to dress up! Oh, and thanks once again Linny for the outfit...it was used sucessfully once again.

Mr 9










I don't know how it happened, but 5 minutes ago I was throwing up in a bathroom sink in Balmain, with my baby sister asking if she could do anything....and now I have a 9 year old who jokes about throwup and wee and poo and bottoms and all. How did that happen?

Happy Birthday Connor!

We took this while we were talking on the phone to you, we said we'd only just gotten out of bed!  We're glad you had such a great day and we hope the ice cream was delicious!

We love you LOADS.

It's counts as a grain, right?

Popcorn.  I'm seriously considering adding it to our weekly menu.  

I ate a bowl yesterday.  I just finished another bowl today in a very short amount of time.  I'd forgotten the joys of popping some on the stove top, sprinkling on a little salt and munching away.

But don't worry Mum, I also have a big pot of Mr Youldon's soup to go along with it.
