In photography, the “golden hour” is the first and last hour of sunlight of the day. This week's photo challenge suited my brother perfectly as he is at the beach at sunrise most mornings. We have a million sunrise shots! Hope you like this one. … [Read more...]
Hey Kids, Mummy’s Home!
Remember when the kids where little and you would arrive home and they would screech with joy and run down the hallway to leap into your arms? Doesn't happen so much once they are teenagers. In fact your arrival home is usually greeted by a deathly silence, and you have to go SEARCHING for the bodies. You eventually unearth one under a doona on … [Read more...]

Welcome to My Mid Life Crisis
If you ever wondered what a mid life crisis looked like just follow me - I'm well and truly embroiled in one. I couldn't afford a sports car and I don't have the energy for an affair so I did the next best stupid thing - I quit my job. My very nice four-day-a-week, one week of the school holidays off, job. My boss was a lovely person (she … [Read more...]
Under the Dome
As a parent you have moments where, well you just lose your mind. At first it's excusable, little children take a lot of time and energy, you are operating on very little sleep, of course you can't be expected to retain your sanity.

Not A Mother Of Boys
The last couple of weeks have been a dream run for ingrained sexism, misogyny and well just plain old-fashioned stupidity. We were treated to a "joke" menu referring to the PM's genitalia, then a radio host hell-bent on quizzing that PM on the "rumours" of her partner's homosexuality, the Army launched an investigation into "demeaning, explicit and … [Read more...]
Where The Bloody Hell Is The Phone?

Yes children you read that right, the phone was physically ATTACHED to the wall. It was in a high traffic area of the home (ours was in the lounge room at the start of the hallway). If you wanted to … [Read more...]
So This Is Dieting
I have no idea how I got to the point where I am on a DIET. What, me? Thin, skinny me? Oh that's right an accidental glimpse in a mirror as I pass by reveals the image in my head bears little resemblance to the reality. Somehow, when I wasn't looking I gained weight. Slight gains over a long period of time culminated with the bathroom … [Read more...]
Weekend Notes 16/6/2013
How's things in your world? It's all cupcakes 'n flowers here in mine. The Princess Child went all homemaker this weekend and made cupcakes, washed her clothes, dried and folded them and cleaned the kitchen. I'm not sure why she is accumlating brownie points but we'll just go with it. I bought myself a lovely bunch of flowers because the colour … [Read more...]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Curves
This weekly photo challenge is to find "curves". We don't have the exotic architecture of the Middle East or the curvaceous sculpture of Europe. But we did manage to find some "natural curves". The curves of the coastline. Inside the curve of a wave. … [Read more...]
