I’m late, I’m late
For a very import date!! (I bet you all thought I was going to say I’m pregnant, no sir-ee! - sorry to disappoint).
Anyway, the kiddos and I trooped into Milton yesterday for lunch with Mr Couch Potato. But what the heck is that up ahead causing a traffic jam?
Why, of course. Lets just transport houses down state highway one in the middle of the day.
We finally made it. A little late for our rendezvous nevertheless, and settled down into the one and only cafe in town (ok, there’s two if you count the pub). But what to my wandering eye should appear?
That blimmen house driving past causing even more chaos, while trying to squeeze itself under the overhead power lines.
Tiny’s Big Adventures
We got this book out from the library last week.
I just love the illustrations. They are wood engravings by James Lawrence.
They’re some pretty mad skills he’s got there. Makes me want to get out my lino tools, blocks, and brayer and get carving. It’s very inspiring to see what’s around ‘crafty ole blogland’ at the moment, as the block printing craze has hit hard. Here’s some helpful links for those interested at having a go:
- Relief printing at Tsk Tsk

9 Years Ago Today ….
I was nearly an hour late for my own wedding!
Hot Stuff & Cute Stuff
The two men in my life at the A&P show this weekend. Hot stuff has lost over 10 kgs in the last three months. But I think cute stuff may be finding it. The little fella eats non-stop, and starts everyday with a tin of “baked beans and sausages” for breakfast. But just what are the two men in my life doing?
Why, watching manly stuff of course.
Before going up, up, and up!!!! While Xanthe and I kept our feet firmly on the ground.
