survival instincts


wow what a stinking hot day! our little weather board home does not have the delightful luxury of air con, although we are but 100 steps to the most beautiful beach, paul nina and i decided we would spend the day shopping. so a long awaited trip to ikea was planned. i quickly grabbed my catalogue and started tabbing down pages of all the wish list things i have wanted to buy for ages. i am very proud of my pauly for even allowing the thought to pass through his sporting head. A day out shopping with his girls! who would have thought? lucky me!

nina drove us crazy whilst we wandered through the arrowed maze of sweedish design so paul eventually said he would take her to the play house and leave me alone to fill up my big yellow ikea bag with non essentials. he came back not long after (to see what it was going to cost him no doubt :) he he) and said he had traded her in for a beeper! very cool! the buzzer soon went off and it was time to pick up our delightful, rassberry lemonade filled 3yr old. by this time (20mins)we had managed to grab a chopping board, roasting rack, tea towels, knife & storage containers!


homeward bound to a nice cold beer and a quick squirt of the hose (i know...... but its fun & the vegi garden needed a drink) now to organise left overs for dinner & a quick dip at the beach. Anyway the thought just occured as a drip of sweat rolls down my neck as to why i am even sitting in this little hot box writting about my day.......................i had a good one that's why xxxx


wishing all those families who are spending their day preparing & acting on extreme weather conditions lots of blessings & love. xx

loved it - bought it

i am one of those dis -organised people who will scribble a note or doodle on anything! i have a collection of papers beside my laptop about 30cm high, containing ? important stuff most likely. i did a bit of a madeit perusing this arvo and came across this fabulous wordly notebook holder. i do have a diary (moondiary.com.au check them out they are awsum, i have not missed a year since they began printing) all my important dates are pretty organised but it's the inspiration i seem to keep losing track of. So.............Marita from Loopy Designs in Tassie! i am sending you thanks for what will be an organised year of doodles, notes & inspiartions.
