Barfy puppy
We had a very sick little puppy today. Silly thing got into the compost Rob had put out yesterday and ate some (ewww yuck) and then proceeded to barf it all up again. Just lovely. We ended up taking her to the vet because she was so ill and it was good that we did because she couldn't even keep down water. Poor wee thing has to stay at the vets ( Read more... ) -
Further Houseness
I have found photos of our hopefully-soon-to-be-new house on the internet. You can see them here: http://www.independent.com.au/property_search.php?d=BELCONNEN&suburb=MELBA&lp=&up=400000&orderby=&sk=0&p=42046Read more... ) -
More Houseness
Thanks to everyone for your good wishes over the house, it is starting to sink in that we are actually going to do this:) Anyway this morning we went to the real-estate agents office and put down the please-don't-let-anyone-else-make-offers-on-the-house bond and signed some paperwork. We now have two weeks to come up with the rest of the money or ( Read more... ) -
Holy moly!

I never win stuff, except...
...today I did :) Yesterday I gave into temptation and bought myself some crack, I mean the Sims 2, from the new Mac1 store in Civic. As one of their opening gimicks they were giving away 10 iPod shuffles each day and blow me down if they didn't ring me this morning to say that I had won an iPod. It was very nice to win it, even if I don't have ( Read more... ) -
The Anti-Valentine
If you like this you should also check out "Your Brain" which is Rob's favourite and "Code Monkey" which is also quite amusing. -
It's the knit post
Over the last year or so I have managed to convert a number of friends over to the knit side, either by teaching them myself or by setting a good example so that they went and found out how to do it from some other source. As part of that I also promised that I would post a bunch of knitting related links so that they could discover the interknit ( Read more... ) -
Fridge and food
We have a new fridge, which is nice but I am not very happy that we had to buy it. Last week our old fridge started futzing up and freezing everything inside of it before deciding to never be cold again. I rang some fridge repair people and everyone I talked to was booked up for at least a week :( Of course they would then demand $100 to walk in ( Read more... ) -
Up, down and up again
Yesterday was one of those days that started out good, took a steep nosedive but at the last minute managed to pull itself round to come back for a fantastic finish. So it started out well with a lovely sleep-in, beautiful sunny morning and the promise of an afternoon out at the Cotter for a picnic lunch and swimming with geekintheheat. We headed out to the ( Read more... ) -
Just a quick update
Went to see Miss Potter at the movies today, _by myself_. It seems so utterly decadent to go to the movies by myself, like I'm being a bit selfish keeping the whole experience mine alone. Anyway it was a very sweet movie, and if you are a big sook like me remember to bring your tissues.
