It is extremely dry here at the moment. I've been watering every couple of days to keep the plants going. The grass out the front is brown and crunchy. Here are a few photos from the garden thisLue lisää
Desley LanhamWe're on very strict water rations. 4 week wait for water delivery up here. Long showers are a distant memory. We reckon we've got few about 3 weeks of water left but we haven't even been able to order.

We've had a busy few days leading up to the long weekend. Thursday we went to the library for a show about an adventure to find treasure. On Thursday afternoon Evie took my phone for a bath. Not theLue lisää
Desley LanhamYou should have seen Kingsman 2. Still not appropriate for Evie but great movie- hilarious

New phone... Some (ie Sheril) would say Evie is a blessing for giving your phone a bath
Juliane BlackwellA very expensive blessing! The 7 is pretty much the same as my old 6 so it doesn't really feel new 😩

Hairstyles
13. lokakuuta 2017, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Not really that exciting (ok, maybe it is for me!) but I am getting much better at putting half decent plaits in Evie's hair without screaming (both of us) and without it looking like a wonky,Lue lisää
Desley LanhamOh, I completely get why this would be an exciting achievement. Those two plaits would be the pinnacle of my hair achievement
A rainy Saturday

Aliens

Rainbows!

Yesterday we made rainbow rice and it was such a success that today we tried pasta. Evie scoops, makes ice creams, pours, feeds her animals...
Desley LanhamWe’re not allowed to do that at work anymore:( Apparently it’s not considered appropriate to use food when others are starving. Shame. It is a great resource
Mother daughter date

This morning I had an early doctors appointment so afterwards we went for a breakfast date. It was lovely. Evie asked for bacon and eggs like Meaghan makes (poached so they’re runny) and chocolateLue lisää
