Gardens

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 thisRead more
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.

Busy few days

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 theRead more
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

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,Read more
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

Evie made an alien with play dough and other bits and pieces. She told me aliens can have lots of eyes but this one only needed 2. She also told me that it fell apart but she "mended it".

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 chocolateRead more
