It seems that I’m not the only one loving the cooler months. A few of the plants we put in during April are really doing well in the cooler weather. They get plenty of sunshine during the day and the odd spell of rain we’re having doesn’t seem to be doing them any harm at [...]
Some noice…. Winter is probably my favourite time of year, despite the coughs and colds that go around. It certainly helps when there is less rain than during the warmer months. I guess there’s something dreary about the day when it is cold and wet but when the sun comes out, it really is a [...]
It’s Friday afternoon and it’s time for another Noice-ities and share with you all what was noice about my week. For starters, it was a short working week so that in itself made it quite noice. With Labour Day weekend just past, it was even more noice (or should that be noice-er) for the fact [...]
As part of the Noice-ities theme week, Leigh and Laura are asking about your favourite winter recipe. Generally speaking, I tend to eat the same foods in winter that I would in summer. This is probably because I lack any kind of repertoire which extends to seasonal cooking as much as it has to do [...]
Lately I’ve been reading and hearing about the FebuSave initiative by ANZ everywhere. It’s on Twitter, it’s in my in-box, in my Reader and just about every female authored blog I happen to read. It’s great to see so many women getting behind the FebuSave initiative and get some good regular savings habits going. I’m [...]
I have decided to give the moggies their virtual home back. I started off this blog all about the cats and somehow it evolved to encompass a lot more than that until it was more about me and what I was doing and only a little bit about them. So I’m returning their blog to [...]
Anyone who knows me reasonably well knows how much I really do hate the colour pink. It stems from spending 21 years of my life in a delightfully girlishly pink room – despite the fact that I prefer blue tones. In any case, I am going to try and add a little pink to my [...]
But nasty names won’t hurt me, so there’s no harm in fulfilling rah’s request to play the name game. Porn star name (first pet, first street where you lived): Sambo Fenlon (yeah that’s ultra smexy!) Rock star name (favourite pet, current car): Rosie Corolla Gangsta name (favorite ice cream flavor, favorite type of shoe): Rum [...]
Remember when I posted a few months back about how I completely and utterly made a mess of my blog trying to customise a new theme? If I remember rightly (and I guess I could read the post to find out), I solemnly swore never to muck around with customising the theme again. Actually now [...]
It’s funny….this whole year I have blogging away on my laptop about things I am thankful for and never once have I thought how grateful I am for actually having a computer and internet access in the first place. I guess since I have always had one in the house since early primary school, I [...]
