A day at home
Sometimes, after a few weeks of either being away or rushing around, you need some down time in your own space, even if that means staying at home and doing household chores. That pretty much summed up our day today. After swimming lessons were out of the way, we pottered around and did little chores …
No work Friday…
I've spoken before about how I've been lucky enough to negotiate a compressed work week, meaning I work my full time hours over four days of the week. This not only saves me a day on child care costs, but it also provides me with an extra day to spend with the girls and, in theory, …
No sleep Thursday
If you're in Australia you might have seen on the news the story of the South Australian bush fires ravaging the Barossa Valley yesterday. Fires on that scale are always devastating and just plain scary, even if you are not personally affected by them. Yesterday, the hubby was stuck in the area where the fires …

As I was posting yesterday's Two Sentences Tuesday I realised that I had just posted my 30th one since introducing the concept. That's 30 weeks ago! Over half a year ago!

Of course, we couldn't stay away forever and so we headed home via Hahndorf so that I could catch up for brunch with one of my oldest friends from Queensland who happened to be in the area for a wedding and extended vacay! We didn't have long but we packed in a heap of conversation into …
Rock or Bust
What a night! We headed off after swimming lessons, leaving the girls with Nan and Pop, and arrived in time to get changed and head to the pub for a beer. And then it was to the concert! The sound quality was a bit average but there is no denying that despite their age, AC/DC still …
Saying goodbye
It's been a big day with an early morning start (aka, at my desk at 5am to finish darn policy!!!) and a late finish (pizza down at the river with my mums group). I have been lucky enough to have an amazing mum's group - a group of ten of us who have pretty much …
