day TWENTY TWO | Year TEN | 2019
Today I went straight from work to my very first pilates session… and from there to a hockey committee meeting… so it was after 9pm by the time I finally got home… I think Walter might have missed me <3
Taken with phone, because that’s what I had on hand.
day TWENTY ONE | Year TEN | 2019
Xanthia & Albert… and that’s all I’ve got to say about that.
day TWENTY | Year TEN | 2019
Da boys, da boys… and da girl!
Gina, Walter & Marty… waiting patiently for the cheese I have in my hand π
day NINETEEN | Year TEN | 2019
This lot are all off for a sleep-over at Darci’s house… Lord help her neighbours!
day SEVENTEEN | Year TEN | 2019
The days are super hot, and the nights have a hot wind, and a haze that covers the sky.
day SIXTEEN | Year TEN | 2019
β« By the light, of the silvery moon mobile phone… β«

day FOURTEEN | Year TEN | 2019
Every couple of weeks, Gina the rat-dog comes to visit for a few day… she gets to run with the big dogs and spend her days lazing inside, stealing socks… and annoying said big dogs π
day THIRTEEN | Year TEN | 2019
I went into Jaimi’s room to take a photo of her… but she wasn’t really in the mood… so I caught Willow out the window instead… taking care of her rabbits.
day TWELVE | Year TEN | 2019
The weather has heated up again here in Canberra, so lazing on the couch happens during the day, and work happens at night… these two are working on a project for Willow’s room – she has grand plans for a full room makeover… but, she is starting with a recycled, wooden wall.
day ELEVEN | Year TEN | 2019
The house is pretty devoid of people today… and I wasn’t up for another selfie… so out into the garden I went, macro lens in tow, to check out what the rain left us <3
day TEN | Year TEN | 2019
Yep – this happened!
It’s been a saga, but Willow finally has that learners licence in her hot little hands! …
… she actually qualified for it, through an in-school program, in March, but she wasn’t old enough to collect it then… so she waited till the day came that she WAS old enough – that was about five months ago! – but she had no paperwork (that Access Canberra would accept) that could prove her home address, and having her father standing there to verify it didn’t work!… so, she applied for a tax file number, and opened a new bank account… a wait for all that paperwork to arrive and back to Access Canberra they went… ahhh nope… still no go – because she didn’t have three months worth of transactions in her new bank account, and Russ’ licence was NSW not ACT, they STILL wouldn’t hand over her learners…
I would like to digress slightly here, to point out that she could have bought a gun from Walmart in the USA… but Access Canberra wouldn’t give her a LEARNERS licence!
… back to the story… by now, I (with my ACT licence) am back at work so unable to take her in… so, I filled out a stat dec stating she really did live here, and gave a scanned copy of my licence to Willow & Russ… and back they went… finally, TEN MONTHS after qualifying for it – Willow has her Learners Licence!
Now, I would warn you to get off the road – but I already have THREE out there driving around, so you should have handed your licence in years ago!!
day NINE | Year TEN | 2019
Darci came for a visit… and to do laundry… and eat cookies π
day EIGHT | Year TEN | 2019
This is the day that the Bingley girls took over Subway! This is their first shift all together <3
day SEVEN | Year TEN | 2019
Willow is home for a long shift at work… and she is feeling ‘spicy’ ?
day SIX | Year TEN | 2019
This is Dexter.
Today Dexter clawed his way into the packet of meat thawing on the kitchen bench.
Then Dexter broke out of his ‘prison’ by jumping on the handle and opening the door.
Dexter is a jerk.
Don’t be like Dexter.
day FOUR | Year TEN | 2019
Willow.
My baby.
Well, damn… didn’t that time just fly by <3
day THREE | Year TEN | 2019
When Jaimi laughs, she laughs hard and I really wanted to capture that… so I did what I knew would work – I had Russ stand behind me and pull faces! Works every time π
day TWO | Year TEN | 2019
This cubby house used to belong to the girls… but now it belongs to Walter… and who would argue with him, right? π
day ONE | Year TEN | 2019
Here we go… year TEN of my photo-a-day!
Starting with these two cuties… Xanthia & Albert <3

I was a bit worried that my Christmas Cake was a bit dry… but i guess not π
day THREE HUNDRED and SIXTY ONE | Year NINE | 2018
Back to Canberra we go… bye Victoria π
day THREE HUNDRED and SIXTY | Year NINE | 2018
Zoe, Alex, Darci and Xan spent the day in Melbourne with all the crowds at the Boxing Day sales… where Darci bought this – Star Wars Trivial Pursuit! As expected – she kicked our butts! (Mazz would like to tell you she was thinking hard… but I’m pretty convinced she was sleeping! π )
day THREE HUNDRED and FIFTY NINE | Year NINE | 2018
Food, glorious food… Merry Christmas to all!
day THREE HUNDRED and FIFTY SEVEN | Year NINE | 2018
Pre-Christmas get-together, at Paul & Lisa’s, with as many of the family as we could get there – which was nearly everyone!
day THREE HUNDRED and FIFTY SIX | Year NINE | 2018
Ok, it was worth the prep and the wait… I LOVE my new dark grey (Dulux klavier) walls in the front lobby and in the dining area… LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

day THREE HUNDRED and FIFTY FOUR | Year NINE | 2018
I am running very, very late with the Christmas Cake this year… but it is done, with five days to spare! π
day THREE HUNDRED and FIFTY THREE | Year NINE | 2018
Jaimi has been working at GG’s Flowers and Hampers for a few hours, a couple of days a week, leading up to Christmas… today they had a Christmas break-up party and Jaimi was presented with this award… this job has been so rewarding for her… I hope she can work here again <3 As a family, we were also presented with this gorgeous bunch of flowers – needing a ‘carer’ with Jaimi for each of her shifts has been a real team effort for us all – Me, Russ, Xan, Darci, Willow and Wilma have all pitched in to make this happen for Jaimi.
day THREE HUNDRED and FIFTY TWO | Year NINE | 2018
Walter still hasn’t given up on his dream of being a sheep dog!
day THREE HUNDRED and FIFTY ONE | Year NINE | 2018
This is my favourite time of year… for many, many reasons π

Check out these two… Sharon and Russ – like two peas in a pod! Sharon is back playing hockey for the first time in decades! #teambingleyandco
day THREE HUNDRED and FOURTY NINE | Year NINE | 2018
In a rush to paint this wall the dark grey I wanted so badly, I may have skipped some of the wall prep – so unlike me to be inpatient – and once the dark paint was on, the flaws were amplified… sooooo, this is happening :/
day THREE HUNDRED and FOURTY EIGHT | Year NINE | 2018
Work Christmas Party time, with my favourite ranga <3

Xanthia’s graduation formal at Parliament House’s ‘Great Hall’ was fantastic! Xan and her friends all looked gorgeous and we had a fantastic night. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2018 <3

Walter has caught the Christmas spirit!
day THREE HUNDRED and FOURTY | Year NINE | 2018
So this little lump on my tongue has made itself known… Dr Google tells me its a ‘Squamous Papilloma’… harmless, but annoying!
day THREE HUNDRED and THIRTY NINE | Year NINE | 2018
Xan was so impressed with Jaimi’s haul from her last Pegasus lesson for the year, that she had to take a photo! Jaimi is never one to miss out on free food! lol
