Still have no idea what I’m wearing for Halloween. Catwoman? How about you? Are you ‘doing’ Halloween?

10 Weeks til Xmas!

October 16, 2009

And already you can’t escape it in the shops… this tree was in my local Woolworths this morning, as I ducked in after my first weights session in MONTHS… 10 weeks til Xmas, 9 weeks left of school term. I’ll probably work through til Dec 23 as Rish is, then travel Christmas Eve rather than [...]

Blog Action Day 2009 – Climate Change

October 15, 2009

Because we still need to care about global warming… At work, we are being encouraged to shut down our computers at the end of the day (I generally do it at the end of the week, as it takes about 10 minutes from power on to being logged in) and I wonder if this does [...]

Homemade Taco Seasoning – Planning with Kids-style

October 14, 2009

Spicy mouth spicy mouth! Thought I’d give making my own taco seasoning a go, using the Taco seasoing recipe from Planning with Kids I read this week. Eeps. I’m such a wuss. Will definitely have to put less in or less chili powder next time. My nose is running and my mouth on fire! (lack [...]

Nice to Know they care

October 12, 2009

Heh, everyone at work was asking about my ankle this morning – I’d been at the other site Thurs / Fri so noone at my office had seen me since I left bleeding late Wednesday afternoon. The two who patched me up got to retell the excitement of the story, and my first aider was [...]

Pool in the Rain

October 9, 2009

For some reason, Rish’s mum didn’t quite get that when we said we were plaing pool in the rain on grand final night… we were actually playing pool in the rain. The Albion Hotel at Wickham has an all-weather pool table. Plus a yummy menu. (Yes, I went to school with the chef ;) Doesn’t [...]

First Family Heirloom

October 8, 2009

Met the little nephew on the weekend :) At times he opened his eyes and realised there were things going on around him… I decided to give him one of my childhood books (Mem Fox’s Sail Away) that my sister had given me when I was like five… and she was 3? Now, he’ll just [...]

Blood! 0.o

October 7, 2009

More from the tales of phona the unco one. Closed the gate at work on my heel a bit after 5 today, letting out my last kid of the day. Ugh. Blood everywhere. Aazing how much a little ankle can bleed. The first aid officer was thankfully still there to help patch me up, and [...]

Tandoori-riffic

October 6, 2009

It’s not quite the same as the fresh cooked tikka pieces from the tandoor oven at Uncle Raja’s curry house (accompanied by a garlic naan you’ve risked the flesh on your arm to cook), but it’s still yums! It’s just breast pieces, coated with a mix of tandoori paste (there was a little left in [...]

Brazilian Butterfly

October 5, 2009

With Summer supposedly on our doorstep, thought I’d better get started on theahir removal ritual .. and being useless at wazing/plucking/shaving myself, it’s best to leave certain areas to expert hands. Peacock Butterfly, by Chris@184 via Flickr. Came across a new salon Brazilian Butterfly via a flier at the gym. Perfect place to advertise, coming [...]

Zambrero *crunch*

October 2, 2009

Went in to meet Rish for lunch a couple of times this week, to relieve the boredom (I promise you, this was enough exertion for one day)… and Wednesday finally got to try Zambrero, the taco place on a corner at the Civic bus interchange. We’ve passed it a few times on a Sunday when [...]

Sunny Day

October 1, 2009

It’s a gorgeous spring day today…. tops of mid 20s for Canberra on the first day of October. You think it might hang around for the long weekend? It seems not… This is when I start being happy I’ll in Newcastle for the long weekend. Until I see the weather predictions there: erm. Okay. At [...]
