This morning I have been so bereft of blogging ideas I've even packed the dishwasher to avoid the computer. I have a thousand and one ideas but all of them require some level of effort, a little bit of research, a touch of organisation, a request to interview people, preparation of photos, reading books to review. As the clock ticks away on … [Read more...]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Solitary
Photo by David Fitzpatrick This weeks photo challenge is solitary. I'm not sure I get the appeal of fishing. Although my husband tells me it's the solitary aspect of it that is the most attractive. The man lives in a household of women so I suppose we have to allow him one hobby which involves nobody yacking at him! … [Read more...]
Ten Things You Need To Know About Going On Holidays
It's been a while since we actually went away during the holidays. Firstly, we live in a holiday destination, secondly do you know how much it costs to take a family of four ANYWHERE? It's school holidays now and we are doing the trip to visit family on the other side of the State. That means taking to the highway for a 9 hour trip, in a car … [Read more...]

Retro Recipes – Caramel Walnut Cake
One of the discoveries of getting through the unpacking of the many boxes (a Project 44 goal) were the old cookbooks that had belonged to my Mum and Nana. Flicking through the browning pages, the fading ink shared recipes and ingredients that have long fallen out of popularity. There's Tapioca Cream and Gelatine Pudding, an interesting thing … [Read more...]
Are We Having Fun Yet?
When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? Has it been a while? I've been thinking about the concept of fun this week. Firstly, going through the photo albums of the kids when they were younger, I was struck by their huge smiles. They simply looked joyous in every shot. A little bit of that is lost as they get older. Maybe they are … [Read more...]
What will they say about me when I’m dead?
It's the one event of your life over which you have no control. While you may be the main attraction you are no longer in a position to direct activities, control the audience or influence the speeches. Your funeral is left in the hands of those you leave behind. Don't panic, I'm not leaving this earth anytime soon, I'm not even sick, well … [Read more...]
Just Keep Swimming
I thought about writing a to do list this morning but was too frightened to see how many things would be on it. Instead my Mummy brain is clogged with 101 things that need to be done with absolutely no idea how I will fit them all in. So I ditch the attempt to complete a practical activity that would at least knock an item or two off the … [Read more...]

Last week of school before the holidays - we are all hanging out for a break. What's happening at your place? … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts on a Sunday Morning – And Some Blog Lovin’
This morning I'm struggling to craft a coherent post, so instead of a single topic, considered and well thought out, you will get a random collection of the out-of-context thoughts of a tired, emotionally challenged woman who is trying to come to terms with the fact the coffee that gets her started in the morning may be contributing to the … [Read more...]
