At the airport flying to Tasmania and a huge storm passed through - it was pouring and reflected how I was feeling as we had received news on Sunday that my Dad had passed away.
at the Mezze Lebanese Grill in East Brunswick. My nephew is visiting with us and it his birthday today and it was my son's last Monday so we celebrated today with lebanese. Yum.
Last night we went to the official opening of the auditorium at our son's school. I did not manage to get any photos so today when I dropped the boys at school took a couple of pics. Some of the landscaping is till being worked on but otherwise everything is finished. It is great and will be a well used!
One side now almost finished tidy and set up. It is great to have a large area to work on. We will probably change the printer to wireless and put it on the other side which will give us even more room. We just need to hide all our cables and power boards and maybe a shelf and it will be all done! Then to tidy up the other side and re-organise the drawers etc.
Chocolate ripple cake?? Last term at school I made one of these for Luis to take to school and I had not made one probably since I was his age living at home. Anyway he loved it thought it was great so we made one today for his birthday celebration tomorrow.
still undecorated - I will buy some chocolate and strawberries tomorrow to finish it off.
This old basket belonged to my mum. I remember she use to keep all her sewing patterns in it. I now have it just because I like it and it reminds me of her!
I have been enticed & inspired by a friend to participate in this journey. We are well into 2009, so my photo blog will be a yearlong one – still 1 photo a day for 365 days but just not 2009.
I considered the idea of a theme a day (which I love & was very tempted to do) but what initially encouraged me to begin my own photo blog was the spontaneous, beautiful & somewhat mundane photos of a friend, her family and their daily life. The insights of her & her family that she allows us "warmed the cockles of my heart"
I only hope that my photo diary will provide the same to someone as well.
(Warm the cockles of one's heart :
idiomatic - To provide happiness, to bring a deeply-felt contentment).
