Well this post just like the last one, has absolutely nothing to do with working from home. I simply felt like adding some pictures of my gorgeous grandaughters in their Karate outfits.
But that’s the beauty of blogging , your blog is your domain and you can do whatever you want with it.
So here are Demelza […]

The year moves on towards xmas and the season is changing. We are heading towards summer  and the trees outside my home are no longer clothed in pink blossoms, the leaves are now a purplish brown and the trees have fruit on them.
Ce’Nedra eats the fruit, and her mother assures me that it is okay […]

Today my sister Mandy brought her new baby to visit.  Amelia was born on September 13th and she is just adorable. And thats a totally unbiased viewpoint.

One of the benefits of working from home is that you can take time out to enjoy the pleasant things in life with family and friends.

It was dark by the time we arrived at the house, everything had been unpacked and put in place by the folk living on the station.
And then the shock set in, it was the coldest I have ever been in my life. What happened to the warm balmy nights that I was expecting. Rude awakening, […]

Tonight we all went along to Calwell High School for their concert to raise funds for the school’s entry to this years Rock Eisteddfod. Of course the fact that Demelza was dancing also helped with the decision to attend.
They are a pretty talented bunch of kids at the school. We were treated to an enjoyable […]

Talking about jam in the previous blog led me back to thinking about when I was a child. My grandmother was a fantastic cook even though she only had a coal range and an old gas cooker to cook on.
She was know throughout the neighbourhood for her light as air sponge cakes, breads, and preserves.

I was upstairs packing for a breakation to Sydney that we decided to treat ourselves to. When I heard someone at the door.
On opening the door there was my daughter, Varinia, grandaughters - Demelza and Ce’Nedra and Dem’s friend Tahlia. They all broke out into “happy birthday” accompanied by a tamborine. The girls had […]

I received a beautiful card from my new daughter in law, Stacey and my son Jurgon and their lovely family.
The verse is very tuching and I know Stacey always spends a lot of time selecting the right card for the occasion. There was a gift voucher inside the card that I will be […]
