I heart.........

I love,love,love John Butler! And his trio of course! Currently dancing around to this with the Madam - going to keep it going & add a stir fry,some wine and some girlies! Have a lovely weekend and I will be back with some words soon.......off to dance!

The turtle and the road

 

This is our turtle Max - he was a boy but now I think he is a girl - so he is neurotic with a few gender issues but we love him. The other two I took on a random road x

Puppy question

Hello all my blog lovelies! I have a question (cause I love them!) We are looking at getting another family member - of the furry, four legs, tail, variety! We would ideally like a pup only so it can grow up with the madam and as I am home with her till school happens we thought it might be a good time. Just wondering what breeds anyone else has ? How do they go with kids? You know all the usual 'I'm getting a dog and can't make up my mind questions!'. We would ideally like a rescued pup but in lieu of that are going to buy one.

Your wealth of wisdom is much appreciated xx

The Summer of Parks....

This is the second instalment of the summer photos - check out the list of another summer lovelies participating by going to my side bar and clicking on Che and Fidel -Summer is (as anyone around little kids knows) park weather! Due to the mass amount of sun and the lacing of torrential downpours the madam and I frequent most parks around the area - cheap, entertaining and if you can sneak in a ride down the slippery dip yourself - very good for the soul.

This photo was taken at the park this morning.

Reality Check

I have come across this in a few different places - I can't wait to see it! The weird thing is I have been having a 'breakdown' (for lack of a better word) about Christmas (this is also my excuse for being a slack blogger!). Since I had the Madam I have this neurotic freak out about wether she really needs presents, what to get her, making sure everything is educational - you know the deal. I watched this trailer and the last scene with the Mongolian baby is fantastic and has kind of brought me back to earth...........

I'll be back later I have to go and get a cuppa xxxx

Summer love

Well I don't really think the universe knows what it's up to with the weather - today is a little bit murky and I am back in jeans - not complaining as I love it!
Today is the start of the Monday Summer pics from Jodie at Che and Fidel .

This is obviously a bit of a staged picture but it encompasses some of my absolute favourite things about the weather warming up - if I have to endure heat, sweat,and the creatures of summer I will do so! But only with my fruit (mangoes being my beloved) and my juice......

If my link above doesn't work there is a link on the side bar to Che and Fidel - check out all the other lovelies of summer!

To tweet or not to tweet - that is the question?

Just so you know is is 6:41am when I start this post and for the last hour or so I have become that crazy woman doing the gardening......I had an 'Edward Sisscorhand's' moment and started pruning and sweeping my front yard.....all in the clothes that fall by the bed....you know the ones that yes may be the same colour but aren't really a conducive outfit....all while my lovely neighbours are going to work in their cars possibly muttering 'who gave the nutter a pair of gardening shears!'. I think it's the only way to do decent gardening.....bad outfit far too early in the morning!

Anyway....

I know that this will make me seem like I am so far behind but.....to tweet or not to tweet? I had a look at twitter last night as I am finding that with some of my greenie/political/geek news that I am looking for people are 'tweeting' way before you can find it anywhere else - also I noticed a few of my favourite blog lovelies are 'tweeting' as well. So is everyone on it? Does this just up my addiction to my screen or is it valuable? To tweet or not to tweet - that is the question?

The above is just a quote I came across that I loved.....
