    With my good friend and walking buddy and about 5100 other people I took part in the Mother’s Day Classic walk/run for breast cancer research this morning. So no breakfast in bed for me. Canberra turned on such a beautiful day. Please excuse the quality of the images they were taken on my iPhone but…

    Confession time again, I do that alot have you noticed? I have quite large calves… I notch this up to genetics, being a curvy girl, an extraordinarily large muscle at the top of my lower leg and my penchant for riding bicycles. Why is it that male cyclists are really lean and yet female cyclists…

    So this week I’m going green… when I started my hunt I was thinking about the ideas associated with the colour green. The negative; green with envy, feeling green and the postive; green thumb, green living. When asked I would say that green is my favourite colour. I have an eye for green, I think…

    I don’t wear gold well not yellow gold anyway. I kind of held out hope that a Gold search would yield exotic jewellery, but look what I found instead: TOP: Glorious Glass Garden Butterfly Feeder – isn’t it lovely? The names of the flowers are painted in 18ct gold. MIDDLE: Bead Aria Gold Crochet Bracelet.…

    Today is ANZAC Day and I always pause and remember as the grand daughter of a man who didn’t return from World War II. For a recent Uni assignment I had to research stamps and came across these which I felt were both sombre and hopeful; feelings I associate with today. They shall grow not…

    Hey, it’s been a little quiet on the blog front but nothing to do with my recent hacking and recreating experience. The boys and I were visiting a friend in Sydney and spent this Wednesday riding buses, ferries (the little one thought we were riding fairies) and trains. It’s so great that public transport can…

    This has been our view of the world for the last two days. The cyclist and I are in training for the 24 Hour Mega Swim and spend our time venturing off to the pool in shifts. Yesterday we took the boys as well and kept them amused while we swam our laps. I do…

    Well not literally, this is a cyber move. I have decided to take the plunge and enter the world of a self-hosted WordPress blog. Thanks to the lovely Tara at Scoutie Girl I’m setup and good to go. I would like to think that everything will go swimmingly but, well, that would be too Pollyanna…
