I bought a dyson dust buster-style hand vacuum and it is great, but super loud! Penny is already afraid of it. I also went to Officeworks and bought more whiteboard markers. Normally I am the queen of hoarding those sorts of things, but all my classroom markers but one have disappeared, which is super annoying ( Read more... )

Luke and I had planned to go to Samsara Friday night but ended up getting up at 5am and going Saturday morning, since there really was no reason to get there just to sleep. Driving up with no traffic through the city was pretty nice anyhow, and we arrived just as the day was warming up. We did some signage set up then I went to do 4 hours on the ( Read more... )

Thanks for the advice, Toni! I will try keeping Penny away from the ladies for a few days. I have kept them in their pen for a couple of days in case they were laying in the yard but to no avail ( Read more... )

I'm staying up way too late! 11pm, omg! I'm excited that the plumber made the water flow 500% better - we turned on two hot taps and they both ran with decent pressure. This is a feat unheard of up till now. I've never really cared about water pressure (hence not fixing it for 5 years) but I appear to be in the minority in this instance. So when a ( Read more... )

I spent all day Saturday painting a wall. Painting is quite therapeutic, and one litre of paint is almost enough to do 3 coats on a small wall space. White seems like a good option right now. In all my free time (ha!) I'm researching different wall options. I posted swatches of colours on fb. I really like orange/pink/purple/red type Autumn colours ( Read more... )

... till the summer holidays. Feeling very tired today. Having lots of things on over the weekend makes me feel more tired, which is illogical, but there you go. Luke and Kupp are in Bathurst visiting Geoff. In their insanity they chose the race weekend so they're pretty much house-bound to avoid catching boganitis. I don't often miss people, but I ( Read more... )

I promised that at the next Union meeting I'd provide cake, so tonight I made a mars bar slice. I made it in a big tray and the mix didn't fill it up so I had to go out in the sideways wind and rain to get more chocolate >.<. Not eating junk food means Jordon reaped generous quantities of Malteasers when I was done decorating ( Read more... )

Yesterday a bunch of us met up for a photo shoot at the back of Wayne's Workshop in Ferntree Gully. I took a lot of clothes, make up etc and Izaak took most of the photos, although I got quite a few too.

Five days until we can put the furniture back. Can. Not. Wait. Everything is getting dusty out the front, I want to scrub all the chicken poo off the slate but don't want to get the furniture wet.. the front yard is a mess. Still, not long to go! Then I can also paint the plaster wall white, just to make it look neater, varnish the doors and ( Read more... )
