I have learnt an important lesson

If you have the misfortune to come into the possession of a perfume card which bears any mention of the name "Sarah Jessica Parker", do not under any circumstances use it as a bookmark. And don't say you weren't warned.

Cute hats!

Here's a couple of hats I made the other week for a photographer friend who wants them for her newborn shoots. Many thanks to the (disturbingly naked) Baby Zan for modelling so patiently.

*rubs hands gleefully*

Our Amazon package arrived yesterday - it's like Christmas! I have 3 great books I can't wait to read : Feminine Appeal, Faithful Women and Their Extraordinary God, and the one I've really been hanging out for, A Chance to Die (biography of Amy Carmichael). I love reading good christian biographies and haven't been able to find much of what I'm after at K**rong so I'm torn between wanting to sit down and read each book at a sitting, and trying to ration myself so I can make them last longer!

Jeremy got some boring books on computers and Greek *yawn*.

Things I'm grateful for: Baked Beans

They meant that our manic friend / outing filled day yesterday didn't end in disaster. Thankyou Mr Heinz!

Here comes the sun.....

I just have to comment on the absolutely beautiful weather we have here in Brisbane today - max of 28 degrees, not a cloud in the sky (this morning anyway) and a beautiful coolish breeze. Aaaah, who wouldn't live in Qld?

A moment in time

X is wearing his "pi'back" (piggy back) which he decided he just had to wear on the way up the stairs from the car (don't ask me why, he usually hates it). He didn't actually break the chair - it collapsed under JoJo quite spectacularly while she was talking to the boy next door - but he did spend quite awhile trying to fix it.

In the afternoon we had our first walk without the pram. X wore the monkey again and we walked around to the fruit shop, only realising far too late that I was not going to be able to carry much home! We saw a very friendly cat on the walk back, and luckily it enjoyed the kids' rather enthusiastic advances, but then JoJo cried half the way home because she wants a cat so much. Unfortunately for us, if we do get a cat it will have to be one of those hideous hairless ones because J is allergic to cat fur.

The kids had a great night with J - it's so different now that he's not coming home completely exhausted after work and he can play crazy games with them (not having a sinus infection seems to help too!).

They're baaaaaack!

My horrendous migraine style headaches that is.
At the moment I'm avoiding cheese, ibuprofen, citrus fruits, chocolate and I'm trying (not that hard) to cut back on tea. I think I need to try a bit harder in the tea dept though.

Shoo, begone you horrible things.
