Lazy

Its been a while.

A lot has happened.

Someone entered a new age bracket.

Petal visited TSV and LIKED it!! OMG.

A marathon was run.

A rat was caught.

New trainers were purchased.

Meow now has a snuggly bed.

I am sure there is more, keep watch.

Not poor Paz

See, he does get spoilt too - all snuggled up after a big day...awwwww!

Poor Paz

The poor little Meow gets chased most afternoons when the beasts enter the crazy zone.

Bruised Bananas

Since the accident I need to turn my focus onto something that doesn't require too much physical work. Cooking it is. And then I came across this blog Not Quite Nigella, specifically this post about a Banana Bread Bake Off and thought what the heck.



Everyone knows that a good banana bread requires over ripe bananas. I hate bruised fruit, especially bananas with their black icky skin, I don't even eat the ends on perfect bananas - yuk! You see my dilemma here?? Lucky for me when I woke up yesterday the husband (still not used to saying that) had left a suprise for me in the fridge so I didn't have to deal with the ickness....awwwwwww!





Banana and Fig Bread:

• 200g dried figs, chopped
  
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  
• ½ cup brown sugar
  
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• 2½ cups wholemeal self-raising flour
  
• 1 cup soy milk
  
• 3 ripe medium bananas, mashed
  

For a non cook I think it turned out pretty well!

New Addition

The little miss arrived a few weeks ago and thought the deck chair would make do for sleeping till her bed arrived. As for the tongue....who knows.

Good Bye Mr. Black

Home Sweet Home

I am beyond frustrated with telstra and trying to get the phone sorted out. Its connected but the line does not have an 'active' status and that can't be changed for some unknown reason....my ISP can not switch our ADSL on until the line is 'active' IreallyCTAI!!!

So being on the slowest dial up ever invented...here is 1 photo of our lovely home....more to come soon!!

Brisbane

I went home for the Australia Day long weekend and had a great time seeing my family!

I was feeling overwhelmed with the traffic! We went to dreamworld and on the 4 lane highway every lane had cars in it...too busy for this laid back girl!!! ;)

I got to see my little baby....she was all sooky and wanted cuddles, she is not normally a cuddly dog. (Note the hat).





We had fun at dreamworld however I am not made for rides. Georgie loved the chair-o-planes however I couldn't wait to get off!!








Like a good little girl G pushed one of the koalas in the face after the photo.

Happy Birthday Wa-cheen!!!

Floods

We moved to the tropics why?

It has been raining non stop for the past few days and I have come across some new road signs....ones I don't want to see!

WARNING ROAD FLOODED

Its a bit exciting but scarey at the same time. I hate being at work when its like this plus we lost power 4 times today.

It should all be over and done with in a few days though...I hope...
