So all the way back here in May, I started the idea of building a chicken coop out of pallets. Because it would be cheaper, right? Not really. Sure, I got a trailer load of pallets for free from the local horse supply store (of course when Steve wasn’t home so he couldn’t say no. …
I love being a tourist in my own town. I’ve been to the Junee Roundhouse Museum a couple of times now. I’ve taken both my sisters here on separate occasions. Maybe that’s because I’m projecting my likes onto them, or something like that. It is still a working roundhouse and locos are still serviced there. …
I love Mother’s Day. The kids gave me a gorgeous new teapot. I love teapots. And tea. And the kids, surprisingly. This year Steve asked if for Mother’s Day I would like a new sewing machine. I looked around to see what I could get and I didn’t really want to replace my existing 419S …
So Sally, our dog that’s not meant to be here, was getting chubby. We thought she was just eating both her and Ace’s share of the food. Then all of a sudden, she got very round. This could go one of two ways. She was pregnant, but who’s pups were they? Ace was surely too …
As 2014 draws to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every person who has stopped by and read a little bit of this blog. I have been offline lately because we have been going through some huge changes. Namely we moved house by about 420kms. Here …
I know I am a month late with this post! But I really wanted to capture it here for the future. We hadn’t planned anything for Father’s Day specifically. I’d like to say that we like to keep it flexible, but truth is, I’m terrible at planning things like that. After a bit of playing …
9 years is an extraordinary length of time to have kept this blogging thing up. Yet, somehow, I have. I will admit to sitting for an hour clicking on random posts from the link-within widget and just having a good old smile at my life that has been. This blog may not be much to …
This is Sally (and Luke): Sally is our 7 year old corgi who has recently hurt her back right leg. The vet has basically said that there’s nothing they can do and to bring her in when she’s ready. Well, we’ve been keeping her pain medicated and we don’t want to lose her, but we …
I know what you’re thinking: when will this road trip end?! Don’t worry, I was thinking the same thing by the end of it. But this is my last post, I promise. After the zoo, I conned Steve into driving us out to the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex. I was not expecting there to …
Brace yourselves for day 2 our our road trip. So we started off by going to the National Zoo and Aquarium. Which of course, we got there early, so we drove around and found a bakery and had a second breakfast. Mmm. Back to the zoo. So, we get there and well, we look around. …
