Three Corners

Posted on March 31, 2008

Last month I con­tacted 2 blog­gers that I admire a great deal. I think they’re both smart tal­ented women who share my pas­sion for pho­tog­ra­phy. The idea was for the three of us to post three pho­tographs based on a dif­fer­ent theme each month. So for the first month– March the theme was street pho­tog­ra­phy. Here are my three photographs.

What I see when I walk around my neighborhood.

also from one of my walks.

Inter­sec­tion I must cross on my way to the post office.

Jenty and Corey have posted their pho­tos– go give them a look. We also have a flickr group- you can see some of the pho­tos that didn’t make the cut.





Randomness

On Fri­day we went to the blood cen­tre to give blood. After giv­ing blood we enjoyed a cup of tea(me) and coffee(Wal) and a bis­cuit or three (Squidge).

num­num coookie!

mmmmm cof­fee

Is she wash­ing the dishes or her­self? Hmmmm

In the morn­ing we take her out of her cot and bring her into bed with us. She then spends the next half hour try­ing to get us up.





The troof and nothing but the troof!

When this began to pop up all over the inter­netz I thought HELL NO! I WON’T GO THERE!! Then I thought who IS this Sweet­ney per­son and what was she think­ing?!??!! A cou­ple of weeks later and all these women have been spew­ing truthi­ness all over the inter­netz. So because I AM a sheep and before I chicken out or use any more ani­mal references…


Oy Vey! No won­der I don’t get any early in the morning!!





Splish! Splash! Splosh!!

I’ve been on the hunt for some wellies for Squidge. It’s sur­pris­ingly dif­fi­cult to find ones that 1. fit her and 2. don’t have a stu­pid car­toon char­ac­ter on it. So I picked up some sparkly pink ones (I wanted red) because they fit the above cri­te­ria. The weather kindly coop­er­ated so we went pud­dle hunting.

Splish!
Splash!
Splosh!

As you can see she had a blast and didn’t want to come inside! Once we did get her inside she played with her wellies. I then caught her lick­ing her wellies– eeew! Safe to say she likes them.





Viewing

Posted on March 27, 2008

We went to view the town­house this morn­ing and sur­prise sur­prise we BOTH liked it. It was larger than we expected which I think is why we left there with a warm gooey feel­ing. Once we got home we started to tear the place up. So with bul­let points–

The bad

  • kitchen needs a lit­tle work. The fridge/freezer is one of those inte­grated job­bers. Trans­la­tion for los amer­i­canos they’re split into two units and hid­den behind under­counter cab­i­net doors. I’m not a big fan of those AND we bought a stain­less fridge not so long ago. The sink has seen bet­ter days and well is just looks a lit­tle tired.
  • din­ing room or lack of. We could squeeze a table in the liv­ing room but it’s not ideal.
  • 3rd bed­room is really really small– 6x8 small. I don’t know how peo­ple get away with call­ing them bed­rooms. If you can’t fit a bed and a dresser in there IT’S NOT A BEDROOM.
  • It’s off a very busy road.

The good

  • It offers more room than we cur­rently have. It’s tech­ni­cally a 4 bed­room so right there it’s big­ger. We plan on using the third bed­room as a den/playroom and the teeny bed­room as an office.
  • It has TWO bath­rooms– yippee!!
  • It’s gated!! So no mofo ba$tards block­ing my dri­ve­way AND less chances of some­one kick­ing in my door in an attempt to steal our car.
  • South fac­ing gar­den that DOES NOT back up to a very busy (read loud) pub.
  • We know the area well as it’s a 5 minute walk from our cur­rent house.

So the only real draw­back is the lack of a din­ing room or even an eat in kitchen. Can I live with a small din­ing room table squashed into a cor­ner in the liv­ing room?? HELL YES! So tomor­row I’m meet­ing with a mort­gage per­son to see about a let to buy mort­gage. Keep­ing my fin­gers crossed that all goes well.

I’ll leave you with my favorite photo from Sunday
