• Images from my birthday

  Posted on Thursday October 29th, 2009 at 04:23 in family, photos, birthday

  I have this big wall calendar on my pin-up board and hopefully my colleagues noted my reminder! The date jumps out at me from everywhere. My colleagues have bought me a present but it doesn’t arrive for a few days… intrigued?  I am. ...

  Sigh. Why is it that birthdays are less exciting the older you get? Groover was sweet.  He knew I wanted to take choc chip cookies to work rather than a cake and so he made some for me. Unfortunately they didn’t work out so well – dud r...

  We were down in Dunsborough for mum’s 70th birthday celebration. She had invited her family to Caves House for a breakfast. The photos in the room were of Caves House in the year of her birth – 1939. This is the youngest member of the fa...

  Posted on Wednesday February 18th, 2009 at 09:34 in parenting, birthday, mum, introspection

  This is my mum and my daughter in 2005.  We were in Italy, in Venice in fact. I thought I wouldn’t like Venice.  I thought it would be too much of a cliche, too geared for tourism. It was.  I didn’t care.  I loved it. The other week I...

  My baby is 14 today. And, poor thing, is lying in his unmade bed today. You see, Groover and I had birthdays in the last couple of months and the kids did not think it necessary to make a fuss. No cups of tea, no homemade cards, no thought on the mor...

  I went to a first birthday party on Sunday. It was a bit weird. I didn’t go with my family, just me, and it did feel odd going to a baby’s party without a… well… baby. I was out of that space. It made me wonder about how the ...

  This is my family at the party we had on Saturday night for my Dad (70) and my little sister (40). Make sure you keep the length, said my sister as we uploaded this photo today, we don’t want to look any fatter than necessary.  No worries I th...
