Happy Birthday Gertie!
(I’m sorry your mum is a crazy cat lady!)

Poor old Mary-Lou Betsy had a bit of a bingle today… travelling down the road at 80km/h the front left wheel fell off… yes, FELL OFF! Oops!… but it gets better than that… as Russ nursed the ute over to the side of the road, the wayward wheel rolled off to the left, hitting a giant lightpole on it’s way (at about 15m apart, this was pretty precision rolling!)… then (yes, there’s more!) the lightpole FELL DOWN and hit a car travelling behind him! What are the chances? Thankfully, no one was hurt, though the poor driver of the other car was a bit shaken up, and Russ is mourning for his broken baby (who had a ride on a tow truck to get home). What a dramatic afternoon!

This ice was still there, after we drove 25 minutes to work… Winter in Canberra is gorgeous – and freakin’ cold!

Zoe came home for a visit… the band is back together <3

It felt like a Pacman-skirt-at-work kind of day today… and it was. ❤❤❤

A nice frosty start to a winter’s day in Canberra…

The only photo I took all day today was the recipe for my ever-popular Clinkers Slice!

One of my favourite snacks… Avocado and Vegemite on white toast <3 <3 <3

Tonight I attended the first annual ‘Steve Doszpot Charity Trivia Night’ without Steve Doszpot… it is a wonderful legacy he has left behind, and I was pleased to see a bigger-than-ever turnout!

I spent tonight learning some creative thinking from some amazing AIPP minds.

Zoe is loving setting up her home new home with Alex in Melbourne <3

On the home stretch with our lounge/study/pantry renovation!

Today went window shopping for shelving for our new walk-in-pantry… so this is the only photo I took all day!

This is the view from my new office… just behind those trees in the distance, is IKEA and Costco!! What a great view!

This candle started out as a beautiful little kitty… then it melts away to reveal this horrid kitty skeleton!

I love these map drawers so much… my mum and grandfather purchased them second-hand many years ago, to have in their cartography business… and now they are mine!

When my awesome hubby cooked me the perfect protein-packed brekkie <3

Today, at Willow’s insistence, we took part in the RSPCA Millions Paw Walk with Walter and Marty… amongst the thousands of dogs there, we came across just one other St Bernard! Walter was a popular boy lapping up all the attention… it crossed my mind – not for the first time since he joined our family – that if I could charge people to pat him, and take selfies with him, I could just about cover his food bill! 😛

I can’t tell you how much I am loving shooting in this studio… seriously, check out that light! <3
