day FIFTY TWO| Year TEN | 2019
I wore this necklace for about two years straight… never took it off… then late last year, I grabbed it by mistake as i was getting changed and it snapped in my hand :'( I was so sad… but this week I found a jeweler who could fix it!! He soldered that tiny little chain back together and i couldn’t be happier!
day FIFTY ONE| Year TEN | 2019
Jami found this little lady on the front verandah and was most insistent that we didn’t harm her… so for about a week we watched her move around, back and forth she went… then one day she decided to live on the hand rail, right next to the stairs leading up to the house, and she had to go… I told Jaimi I would find her a new home… so…she lives in heaven now.
day FIFTY | Year TEN | 2019
The morning view of balloons flying over Canberra, from my front verandah <3

This is Willow’s boyfriend (yes – I said boyfriend – my baby has a boyfriend! ?)… I can’t show you his face, because… well, because Willow said so? #nahbullshit #checkbelow

It took hours… and there was much silliness going on… but in the end, Xanthia straightened Willow’s hair – I swear it grows so fast you can almost see it getting longer!
day FOURTY THREE | Year TEN | 2019
This photo (shot from my work carpark) in no way captures the feeling of Armageddon out here! The wind is fierce and the sky is full of dust and weird light… time to build a bunker I think! 😉
day FOURTY TWO | Year TEN | 2019
My new gym buddy… Darci has big plans this year – and it all starts with improved fitness!

I’m not sure who this girl is… but she ordered a SALAD and a WATER from Maccas tonight!! #attackofthebodysnatchers
day FOURTY | Year TEN | 2019
I think someone is pretty proud of his new veggie patch… I’ll be more impressed when there are actual veggies in it! 😛
day THIRTY NINE | Year TEN | 2019
I’m not sure Gina enjoyed her bath in the kitchen sink… so if she wants to avoid them in the future, she should take more care about what she rolls around in! #stinkydog
day THIRTY SIX | Year TEN | 2019
… and then there was one <3
My baby girl is off to Yr11 this year… time to find out just how committed she is to her goal of studying Vet Science at uni… though she hasn’t shown any signs taking her eye off the prize so far! <3
day THIRTY FIVE | Year TEN | 2019
Today I had have a minor procedure to remove a lump from my tongue… I didn’t love the anethesist taking THREE goes to get a cannula in (left hand – fail, left arm – fail, right hand – success!) and leaving some nice bruises in his wake… but I am loving the custard and ice-cream diet I’m on for the next day or two… or five – you know, if my tongue is still sore 😉
day THIRTY TWO | Year TEN | 2019
Zoe’s home!! … (and Alex too 😉 ) … and I think Xan’s new room needs a couch!
(they are watching ‘Pitch Perfect’ on the giant tv that was only allowed in her room because she is no longer at school!)
day THIRTY | Year TEN | 2019
Tonight Gertie came for a visit… and took up position in her favourite spot – my office chair! … seriously – I left the room for less than a minute! … but who can argue with that face? <3
day TWENTY NINE | Year TEN | 2019
Xan’s turn to cook tonight, so it’s tacos all round!
She said I wasn’t allowed to take a photo of her smiling… oops 😉
day TWENTY SEVEN | Year TEN | 2019
We bought Willow 3 tickets to see Keith Urban for her 16th birthday in November… we said she could take whoever she wanted – and she chose us <3
It was an awesome night, a brilliant concert, amazing sunset, perfect temperature… and only a little bit of rain 😉
day TWENTY SIX | Year TEN | 2019
Four Aussie chicky-babes in the back of a ute… #meanwhileinAustralia
day TWENTY FIVE | Year TEN | 2019
The vinyl floor is going down in Xan’s new room… and I would just like everyone to take pause and witness the majesty that is the way those boards fit intricately around that door frame… it is truly a thing of beauty!
day TWENTY THREE | Year TEN | 2019
Xanthia has decided that she wants to switch bedrooms into Zoe’s old room … but, of course, that means she needs to make it ‘hers’. Zoe’s pink wall is now white, and a grey wall has been added… then the carpet was ripped up and masonite is being laid (Russ is just adding the final touches now)… next (and last step before she moves in), the vinyl flooring will be laid… I will be just glad to get all the excess furniture OUT of the common areas!
