the end was just the beginning
OK, so Husband had an operation that put him out of action for 10 days last month. Then the bunny ate all our electrical appliances (Husband discovered a belated fatality yesterday - the oil heater in the youngest's room.) Then Husband's grandfather died and we motored out to Forbes for the terribly sad funeral. Then... Continue Reading →
>> You put your back out doing gardening. >> When you go to the physio to have it fixed she presumes: "So, you have adult children?" >> You have to wear a girdle every day to keep your pelvis together after your gardening accident. >> Even before your gardening accident, your body was aching when...

I let the turkeys get me down. And boy did it hurt. We have this 25m x 5m concrete strip along our back fence and a family of bush turkeys have decided it's the perfect spot for a nest. Now that might not be such a problem in a leafy, rambling backyard, but on concrete... Continue Reading →
Bush turkey-related injury. Will advise when the endone wears off. Might see the humour in it then.
Because I wrote the words below two whole years ago and they're still ME TO A TEE.

Husband only has two cousins - they're twins. I first met the twins, or the twinnies as they were known back then, when they were around seven. I was invited... Continue Reading →
Apologies, not the full box and dice gossip today, just a quickie version as I am in Forbes on in iPad. But I've managed to find enough fun stuff (and a poignant one to kick things off) to make things interesting on a Monday morning. The bits that didn't make it - Elle macpherson got...

I spent a large part of this week weeping over my keyboard, both at work and home. The home breakdown was caused by my husband leaving my rabbit loose in the house for a day - he destroyed almost every electrical cable in the place ... including the one to my computer. Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh .... But... Continue Reading →

Wow, people are so creative when it comes to creating fashionable food. Check these amazing treats out. Loving these... Continue Reading →
