Holidays over back to the grind.

Well, not that my version of grind is really grinding at all.

We've spent a fabulous month just existing as a family.  Fishing trips, bush walks, fierce xbox 360 Kinect competitions (I swear, I will beat the man in a sprint race eventually. My mistake was that I beat him first go and showed him how to run correctly for the game... *sigh*)
But I do believe I have the Kinect Ten Pin Bowling Trophy in the bag.

Our time spent down the coast was wonderful, but I did miss my ed and my garden that is spewing up all kinds of wonderful things to eat.  (I will post pics soonish, haven't taken any of the garden and my hay fever has reached such astronomical levels as to render me incapable of talking normally I couldn't be bothered to do it today. I keep losing my voice, much to everybody else's amusement)

So internet time is still sporadic as I finalise schooling plans for this term, get the dishwasher fixed (which judging from the telephone call I got today I am a little sceptical about whether or not 'Donna' logged my job properly.)  get some reading time in and you know just the general everyday stuff we women do that men never even have to think about!

gratuitous weekend recap

Now that the weather is warming up and the football season is done and dusted, we spend a lot more time outdoors.  This weekend the girl child and I did a lot of walking while the rest of the family went fishing round the lake.

We started off around the Lake nearest our home were we came across a family of swans out for a walk...

The one closest to us started to run and the girl child for getting a little too close!

A little further down the track we met graffiti artist Joe, who was busy at his trade. This is his incomplete work....hopefully we'll get to see the completed picture on our next walk around the lake!

We decided to go out the river.  But it was the heat of the day and carp don't really bite much when it's hot.  Still, the oldest boyling managed to hook this one.

We had a jammed packed weekend.
So happy it's monday and I can finally relax!

Oh shiny internets... I have missed you so.

It's been quite awhile.

This is the  longest I have ever been without an internet connection and I can tell you, I do not like NOT having internets.  The move was drawn out.  A shortage of houses saw us living in a motel for seven weeks.  It took two weeks after moving for our ISP to connect our service and just for fun, the modem refused to sync. So after two technicians and a further two weeks, I have internets again, although, I still seem to be having some issues with it.  (For example, no matter what I do Twitter just won't play nicely)

I will update later. Right now I need a hot cup of tea and a cuddle from my favourite 8 year old.
