Dad's just phoned and laid a complaint, that I haven't blogged for a week, and I'd better get off my butt and do so! 

It's hard to believe it's winter here today, the sun is shining, I'm in shorts and a t-shirt, and have been busy weeding, mowing the lawns, doing stuff with the animals...and so on.

However this time last week, it looked like this out here:



Hee hee, that's  a bacon and egg pie - we felt a trip to the bakery was needed, for warmth! 


 With school holidays upon us the doggies have a had a beach walk or two, along with the usual dog park visits, and we got to catch up with Megan Gourlay and her dogs on one of those :-)  Hope they didn't mind their bath too much Megan lol.

Archie has something called a luxating patella, which basically means his knee joint pops in and out.  They come in three grades, with grade two and three needing surgery.  His fortunately is grade one, and instead of surgery he is having physio.  So every second day we head across town and go to the specialist vet clinic - about a three and a half hour trip all up.  Lucky for him he's well loved.

The scraproom is gradually emptying (and I'm wondering why I have so much stuff!).  The scrapbag/kits are all done for Scrapfest.  Project Life is up to date.  All is good in my world :-)

If you are rocking and rolling these last few days, you have my sympathy.  Not a nice feeling and hopefully they'll settle down and become much less noticeable.

Have a wonderful week everyone.

A whole week? You naughty thing! I think I'm up to 3 weeks...maybe its 4 this week!

We've had a GORGEOUS day here today, had to take off a layer of clothing at work. And yep, we got a bit shaken up yesterday. The dogs weren't too happy, Brodie was racing around trying to find the "thing" making us shake so he could bark at it!

Hope your baby's knee is doing OK, its such a pain with little dogs.....
