The Pantry

Okay so the weekend -I CLEANED OUT THE PANTRY -  I had been putting off the inevitable for some time - but at last I have now conquered the pantry!!!

Yep that there is the contents of our pantry  - packets of chips from various birthday parties tossed on the top shelf, too many bottles of tom sauce from sausage sizzles, canned tom's too many to count,  in fact I could feed a developing country for a good year on the contents of the panty - and this has all now been  organised!!! (my enthusiasm died about now when I realise the enormous task that lay ahead).

And my final moment of triumph ....drum roll please

Started at 6.15am  - break for a trip to the Farmers Market  - coffee and quick paper read  - then back to the sorting, cleaning and ditching. Time of completion 12.50pm

Though if I could change the layout I would like...

The week has gone so fast

WOW - Friday already!!  We have a relatively quite weekend planned - kids swimming lessons after school, cricket tomorrow morning and then nothing - yes nothing is planned!!!  Don't get me wrong I love to socialise but I also love those weekends when nothing is planned - just hanging around the house - perhaps out for brekky - good old family time - or maybe a walk down to the local pizza bar  - ah yes and the mutt needs a walk - perhaps the beach is the best given the hot hot weather we expect..and the hot weather has got me dreaming about a pool...

still one of the coolest pools I have seen!!  Image via Andres Remy Architecture

Monthly Movie Night

Monthly movie night tonight with the girls - not seeing anything that will get the grey matter working to it's maximum capacity but a good chance to escape and vegetate with good friends and then out for a wee nibble at a cafe somewhere in Freo - really life is pretty good.

And the movie choice for tonight is  - Life As We Know It - seems like a good girly flick with a few laughs.

But prior to getting to movie night I have a days work ahead, then organise the kids, one to cricket training, homework, have dinner ready and then, and then  - yes I am ready to go out!!

Hideously Hideous Ornaments

Starting the week on a high note as you can see..
There are some seriously seriously hideous ornaments out in the market place - and I often wonder who actually buys the stuff - but I guess someone must!!  Okay I am being a decor snob  - as the saying goes one man's trash is another man's treasure!!

One can only wonder WHY??

Seriously no comment!!

How can you resist - the ultimate in bathroom  hygiene!!

Iron & Wine - The Trapeze Swinger

The weekend...

I love the early mornings  - especially on the weekend when it is less hectic - the house is quite and I can sit and have a cuppa and read the paper without a child begging for attention...my little selfish retreat.

So relish your weekend ...

Rest your head here

I have just realised that it has been sooooo long since I last posted,  like an eternity - life seems to be a merry go round that does not stop -and I have been tired lately  - like really tired that I could sleep for days just to catch up on sleep - and if I were to spend a lazy day in bed then here are a few spots that I could easily rest my head - 

But yes I do know that you cannot catch up on sleep - but perhaps the warmer weather forecast for next week is just what the doctor ordered  - lots of sunny days and I will will will have to get out and walk - so started today!!  Walked the kids to school and then the mutt and I had a long walk around the streets - damn it was good!!!

Seems like my 2010 resolution of getting organised has not really eventuated - so my promise for the rest of the year is to post on a more regular basis  - lets try to aim for three times per week - that is quite achievable around work, kids and home - cross my heart that is my promise -so shall see you all again in a few days - PROMISE!!
