Three Corners

Posted on April 30, 2008

It’s month two of the Three Cor­ners project. This months theme was Spring/Autumn. Spring for those of us in the North­ern Heme­sphere and Autumn for the South­ern Hemisphere.

I did a lit­tle walk­ing around my neigh­boor­hood look­ing for signs of spring.

then I found these forget-me-not’s in my back garden!

Don’t for­get to check out Corey and Jenty’s pho­tographs– they should have them up soon!





Some dogs do!

Posted on April 29, 2008

Squidge’s favorite book is “Some Dogs Do” In the book Sid the dog flies and tries to con­vince all his dog school mates that he can fly. So he says I DID a lot. Any­one want to guess what Squidge is now saying?

Drinks and mix-ups

Posted on April 28, 2008

I went to the hair salon a few weeks ago. I’m try­ing to go blond– again. I KNOW I said I wasn’t going to try that again but, alack! alas! I’m a glut­ton for pun­ish­ment. Since mov­ing to Man­ches­ter I’ve had a long run­ning issue with my hair. I can’t get the color I want and the cuts leave a lot to be desired. So going blond is a long process where they high­light cer­tain bits and even­tu­ally I’ll be all blond. In the mean­time I look STRANGE.

As for the cut– I asked for a cer­tain cut. I bring pho­tos in to show them the cut I want. I don’t get the cut I want *sigh*. The last time I asked for an asym­met­ri­cal cut. I noticed that lately the hair­dresser is afraid to give me what I asked for. Like I’m some old lady and I’m obvi­ously a bit dotty and don’t know what I want and I couldn’t pos­si­bly under­stand what an asym­met­ri­cal hair­cut looks like. AAARGH! So she gave me a mild, watered down asym­met­ri­cal hair­cut. Do you have any idea what that looks like? Well it looks like an old lady hair­cut with one side cut a smidgen shorter. Not cut so much that you’d actu­ally know it’s an asym­met­ri­cal hair­cut but enough so that it looks like some­one made a mis­take. AAARGH! So all this gets me to a sig­na­ture hair­cut. I’m on the hunt for a funky yet clas­sic cut, some­thing short. Some­thing that I can have for a while. Some­thing that doesn’t take a lot of work. I want to take a shower, shake my head and be done with it.

We had a busy week­end. Once a month on the last Fri­day of the month I get together with a few local mums.

As you can see we con­sume a lit­tle (but only a lit­tle) wine and beer.

Then on Sat­ur­day I went to a friends house. There was a lit­tle mix-up on exactly when we were sup­posed to be there. I thought it was Sat­ur­day, she thought we were com­ing on Sun­day. In the end (because we were already there) we decided on Sat­ur­day. We had some yummy home­made pizza. Strangely I didn’t take any photos.

Today we went to order our bath­room– only to find out the shop was closed! So we’ll be there bright and early tomor­row morn­ing! We went for a lit­tle walk this after­noon and ended up at our local park. We pretty much had the park to our­selves– Squidge really enjoyed herself.


Thanks for all the thumb­suck­ing advice (and non­ad­vice). I think it’s going well. I tell her to stop suck­ing her thumb and she does. It’s got­ten to the point where all I have to say it ‘THUMB’ and she pops it out! She’s also begun to play with me. Some­times I tell her to take her thumb out and she will then she’ll pop it right back in and I swear she says naneer naneer naneer and jig­gles her thumb in her mouth!!
