21 weeks
We’ve reached the 21-week mark. This pregnancy is going so fast it’s almost scary. For me, this is probably a fair way over halfway (my other babies were born 3 and 2 weeks early). We had our anomaly scan yesterday. We chuckled afterwards that we weren’t in great awe after this scan because we’ve already […]
Placcy Bags
I am writing this from my father-in-law’s study. I am listening to some parrots squawking. The setting sun is turning the blue sky pink, and golden light reflects on the gum trees in the neighbouring yard. Some pink oleanders are flowering and I am thinking: “This is rather pleasant. I might stay.” Adelaide. How I […]
Bye, bye bussie
Thank the almighty lord! The bus has gone! From day dot we have loathed the bus. It did come in relatively handy once, as we used it for a shed-like structure. However, we are glad that it is gone. Some friends have taken the bus for their own use and we are very happy that […]
The joy of a house
I apologise for not blogging lately. I’m being very lazy. Actually, I am just *really* enjoying my new house. It is wonderful to be here. The journey, however is not over. Monte has been using the tractor to do some landscaping. He has filled in the trenches in the front yard and he has moved […]

Easter 2010
We had a great Easter. Thankfully the children did not wake up too early. We don’t put much emphasis on the Easter bunny etc, but they knew an egg hunt was in store. It was fun – egg hunts are always fun! We had other presents, like bunnies from nanny and gramps, and fans from […]
Temperature
When we first moved into this house, it was cold, and I complained of being ‘freezing,’ and wrapped myself up in blankets and jumpers (ever the drama queen). After just a few days (maybe 3-4) after moving in, the house became very very warm. The north-facing windows are bathed in sunlight a lot of the […]
Wood
With the Esse, which we pretty much run 24/7, we need a plentiful wood supply. I am fairly proud of and confident in my husband, who goes out to add to the wood supply whenever he has a spare hour or so. Today he has been twice to get some wood. He goes down the […]
