When my other half suggested getting some dwarf fruit trees for our backyard, I have to admit I was more than a little dubious. While I can adequately keep native or drought tolerant plants alive and well, I’ve had little success with growing produce. I thought I would do okay with herbs but despite planting [...]
Sing it with me people! Gotta love James Brown! No kidding, I actually feel really great today and it’s hard to think of a day in recent times when I have felt this good within myself. I feel like I have more energy, I want to do stuff that I usually loathe doing and I [...]
It’s the 14th of July and you know what that means?? It’s Bastille Day in France….it has the same significance to the Frenchies as the 4th of July does to the Americans or the 26th of January does for Australians. I’m not remotely French but I am rather taken with the French. I studied French [...]
Those of you who have been dropping by for a while now will know that we have had somewhat of an ongoing DIY landscaping project taking place. Well I’m happy to announce that we’ve finally reached what I would call Stage 2! Yay! The deck is down, we’ve put in the back garden bed and [...]
Leigh is back at it again. She’s got the whip out and is cracking it in the “Bloggest Loser Challenge” for all the bloggers out there who might want to shed a bit of their winter poundage. I managed to lose 3.5kg or so during the last challenge. Now I’m up to a 5kg weight [...]

And to think it started life as a bunch of seeds, carelessly chucked into the corner of my sister’s backyard. Believe me, there was no effort in propogating the pumpkin vine that [...]
Halfway through the year – scary!! Only 26 more photo ideas to come up with on a Sunday…..how on earth am I going to make it?? Nevermind, I promised myself I won’t quit this challenge so I guess I’m just going to have to get creative. This weekend, I decided that my bathroom needed a [...]
Way back in February, I remember having a good laugh reading Leigh’s story about the men’s undies left on the footpath outside their house. Now that story made me wonder about the owner of the undies and why he thought the footpath would be a perfectly good place to leave them. It’s not like you [...]
I went through the hassle of reorganising my study a few weeks ago so that I could look out the window while working at my desk. I figure I spend a lot of time in here, so I might as well have a view of something other than the wall. Shortly after doing it, I [...]
I love the people at Nintendo, particularly whoever the spark of genius was that came up with the sensor technology in the Wii. We’ve had a Wii for a little while now and had fun playing with the Wii Sports pack – the boxing especially is really satisfying. So when Nintendo released the Wii Balance [...]
