  Dippity and I went down to UWA today to go to an upmarket in the Undercroft. We had to walk down the main drag to the Guild to get some money out and of course it was a chance for me to remember 25 years ago, my first day at university.  Ahhhh they...

  My entry to I heart faces this week reminded me that we had some video. Ohhhh my kids were so cute! (They still are… just a bit spottier and teenagery) Share and Enjoy: RSS Facebook Twitter Digg StumbleUpon Technorati Google Bookma...

• I heart faces – Balloons

  Posted on Tuesday November 3rd, 2009 at 09:47 in photos, dippity, i heart photos

  This week’s theme  is balloons and when I think of balloons I always think of my dad’s 60th birthday. We held it at my place and blew up about 200 helium filled balloons with long ribbon tails to cover the ceiling. Then we all waited wi...

  After much wailing and gnashing of teeth I’ve chosen this pic of my two scallywags on top of Elachbutting Rock. I’ve told the story before. How much do kids love climbing rocks and leaning into the wind? Ahhhh the simple pleasures my frie...

  It was a beautiful spring day today.  the warm sun, so long denied us warmed my back as I set about putting my neglected garden in order. Well pulled a few weeds anyway. It is a satisfying thing to see a well swept back passage and no, that is not a...

  It’s Groover’s birthday today and I bought him a… Food processor. He wanted one! Happy birthday darling – can’t wait to taste the results. Also tonight Dipp got the results from her recent karate grading. She had a tr...

• The sound of silence

  Posted on Wednesday April 15th, 2009 at 06:00 in school, dippity

  What I love about the school curriculum these days - no matter it be private or public - is the onus on public service. I don’t remember it being part of my education. There are heaps of fundraisers of course but the kids are also required to c...

• A little perspective

  Posted on Tuesday February 3rd, 2009 at 08:00 in family, kids, beer, teenagers, dippity, hugamuga

  I took this photo down on the foreshore of the river a few days ago. Yes that’s my 14 year old - year 10 boy - sitting on the shoulders of his 11 year old - year 7 sister. She’s almost as tall as him too. It works rather well to have the ...

  How did I look after my two kids when they were little? Yesterday, we picked up the younger cousins (4 & 3) for a sleepover.  My sister-in-law needed some free time to pack as they are moving house soon. The big cousins are fantastic with them....

  I’m in Dunsborough. Limited internet access but I confess even more limited enthusiasm for blogging, for anything technical really. I’ve been reading, staring at the view, popping down to the beach for a dip, eating and doing sudoku…...

• Not scary enough

  Posted on Monday December 15th, 2008 at 21:29 in review, Film, werewolf, vampire, twilight, van helsing, stephenie meyer, dippity

  You know I liked the Twilight series, so it should come as no surprise to learn I went to the movie. In fact I went with three other mums in Dippity’s class - with the four girls who sat a few rows in front of us.  Sit with their mothers?  Yo...

  My daughter was awarded a prize for “Personal Excellence” at this year’s “Celebration of Learning”. She has had a great year and it seems that the move to the new school has really worked out for her. I’m so proud ...

  A couple of years ago I wrote about the bogans at the Perth Royal Show. I was quite scathing. Now, it’s not that the show has suddenly become a bogan-free zone - quite the contraire - it’s just that - for the first time in about ten yea...

  Okay then Dippity - what do you want to achieve with your life?  What do you want to do? Oh I don’t know… C’mon you must have something you want to do… Well… Yes? I’d like to take over the world with my army of ...

• Picnic at Elachbutting Rock

  Posted on Sunday July 20th, 2008 at 09:18 in western australia, wa, dippity, hugamuga, mukinbudin, elachbutting rock, granite outcrop, westonia

  On the way back from the station last week we stopped by Elachbutting Rock. This granite outcrop is one of many in the area but a bit more special because of Monty’s pass - where part of the rock has sheared off and created a tunnel, and the R...

  We’ve just come back from four days on the station. Every time I go I wonder why it has taken me so long to go back. This time it didn’t rain while I was there but the winter temperatures made walking a pleasure. We taught the kids h...
