Beauty
It was a bright sunny day yesterday, which was beautiful. But of course it meant that we were in for a frost the next day. Sure enough, this morning has been frosty! It is so cold! But golly it is so beautiful. I drove Georgia to childcare and I am still in awe of the […]
Wishy-washy machine
It’s true. You won’t believe it. I have a washing machine. They haven’t been around for very long. And not many people on this planet have a washing machine. I almost feel guilty for having one – but not quite. When I start to struggle with the small space we live in, and the lack […]
Cabin Fever
I like living here. I look out the window and see rolling hills and green grass. There is a forest and in the mornings the fog creeps along and makes everything look romantic. We can see Geeveston in the valley, and at night the lights sparkle like a fairy town. My washing takes ages to […]
Karma?
We took the life of one rooster and something took the life of another. Poor Dickie Jnr, a young Light Sussex, was roosting outside the chookhouse last night and was snatched and eaten by something carnivorous. We don’t think it was any of our pets. But we’ll never know. RIP Dickie Jnr

Windmill Raising
We helped our friends Tanya and Jamahl raise their windmill on Saturday. It was very exciting and it was a lot of fun. All I did was take photos, but Tanya did some great sign painting and she even climbed the beast when all was finished. Monte and Jamahl drove their 4WDs in reverse to […]
Homecoming
I am very blessed. I am blessed in many ways: loving family, wonderful children, brilliant husband, awesome inlaws. I am blessed with amazing friends too! We came home from Adelaide yesterday. The flight was good, but my ears were not so good, and Matty was complaining about his ears too. The drive home from Hobart […]
