At school this afternoon we looked out the window of our teacher office space to see this wee visitor wandering along the bank. It's seems to be a lone pukeko and has been wandering in and o...
Another cellphone pic (Really must charge my camera battery). I've been drinking heaps of these because of the heat. Devin has a Soda Stream and it has been getting a lot of use at the mom...
Another fuzzy cellphone photo here. But what I love about it is my young man is actually willingly sitting down and doing his homework. Year 10 is shaping up to be a good year for him.
Spent far to much time staring at this today. My eyes were so tired that I had to dig up my glasses in order to see clearly.

Today my in-laws celebrated 50 years of marriage. Pretty impressive really.
David spent the last few days painting Mum's house for her. It was so hot that he was literally watching the paint dry as he applied it.

I didn't use the flash for this and I really like the golden glow that was created as a result. Another of my bathroom plants - that scarecrow is from Canada.
These became my best friend today as I dealt with my first ever migraine.
These piles of paper are lying on the floor of my office at home and need to be sorted. I made a start before I got sick and have yet to get back to them. I find the best thing to do is shut...
This plant hangs out in our bathroom. It was grown from a cutting and it's a miracle that it's still alive considering my track record with plants.
Tonight I made a salad for dinner which included lettuce, tomatoes and celery that Devin had grown. There was something kind of cool about going out to the garden and picking fresh vegetable...

... Black Doris plums and my favourite lollies imported from the USA. I adore Black Doris plums and get frustrated with the fact that they can be quite hard to get. Fortunately we found thes...
Found these two just hanging out together on top of the barbeque. I love that they are such good mates.

Rohi and Pythagoras just hanging out in the Newsletter container after a day of being passed from child to child as we got to meet our new class members.
Today was spent attending meetings at school and finishing off my last minute preparation for school. Had fun punching out all the letters and assembling this title for my "Topic" wall. The ...

First "Teacher Only" day of the year was spent here. Murray Gadd was the keynote speaker and was awesome as always. In the afternoon we went to workshops. I attended one workshop and prese...
Still in bed - feeling better but rather tired. I actually have to present at a Cluster School's conference on Written Language tomorrow (#1 of 2 Teacher Only Days before school resumes on Thu...
Day 2 of being stuck in bed feeling very sorry for myself - so much for being well rested before school starts. This is another cellphone photo - this is my 2 cats who sat on the bed with me a...

Loss of TV signal became the least of my problems on Friday night as less than 30mins later I started what was to become several horrid hours of a gastric illness. Needless to say today was sp...
Weather conditions messed up our Friday night TV viewing. Initially it was rain fade - eventually it became total loss of signal due to stormy conditions and now signal won't come back!! No ...
Today was actually my wedding anniversary, but rather than go with the obvious I decided to go with this picture instead. We spent the day with my nephew who only turned 2 a couple of weeks ag...

This one was taken on my cellphone as my camera battery had died - qualities not great but you get the idea. Main highlight of today was shopping for the things Devin and I needed for school. ...

Devin started Drum lessons again today after about 6 months off. It was nice to hear him playing again.

We found this sign at the top of a rather narrow one way street in Parnell. It had us giggling because the "straight ahead" road wasn't all that obviously straight ahead as it veered off to ...

Ok so I'm cheating today as I'm using another of the photos I took yesterday. I had such a blah day with nothing worth photographing today so decided to use this photo instead as I really like...
