Perfect

When Hamish was born his little feet were very bent.  When Akal our midwife looked at them she mentioned that she didn't want to make a big deal about it but his feet were slightly deformed and we should keep our eye on them. 

While we were away, I took this photo of his foot prints in the sand, they aren't completely straight but they look perfect to me.

Back from Blogger Mobile Blackout

I have submerged from the mobile blackout that blogger had imposed.  I don't know if you had noticed that most of my posts these days are from my blackberry, I just email my blogger account with any attachments and voila instant post without me having to be any where near my PC

While we were away it decided for some reason, that it wasn't going to let me post that way so it has been a bit quiet from me this week.

But it seems blogger is back and I am sure I will be able to think of a bunch of interesting bits a pieces to share, just not this minute xx

The Sun'll Come Out

The sun 'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun
- lyrics from Annie

I don't know if they are the exact lyrics, its the way I remember them, and they seemed appropriate, because the sun came out today and the wind slowed to a breeze. Finally on our beach holiday we get to sit on the beach and the kids get to build sand castles.

We pumped that little heater last night and we all slept well and warm. We have also learnt that one person must have a shower in each quarter of the day that way we all get a warm one.

Then this morning we went to the local resort and had a continental breakfast. I had forgotten how much I loved being able to have a plate of fruit, eggs, bacon and a glass of pineapple juice. Even though they are never the best food quality, once in a while its nice to have all that choice at breakfast.

So maybe today is the day for fishing reading and sand castles and yesterday was the day for great $5 jumpers, new swimmers, and remembering that the whole point of holidays is being together.

Gale Force Wind Warnings

Yep that's right gale force wind warnings for the mid north coast (exactly where we are). The waves are huge they are churning up the beaches leaving them inaccessible, the wind so strong and bitey that we are having trouble walking in it. Did I mention torrential rain as well! We always have interesting holidays. Thank the god of inventions for beanies and gum boot, can't believe I packed our swimmers just in case.

Other interesting points are that the cabin we are staying in is freezing, it comes with this teeny heater but I've felt hair dryers that have more heat (literally). Even the dogs holiday enclosure is heated at night. Actually we spent almost twice the amount on the dogs accommodation than we spent on our own, and we put them in the cheapest/best one we could find.

To top it off we had thought that we could do a day trip to Bellingen from here, but we hadn't accounted for the hour Shoal Bay was off the motorway so it would be a 4.5 hour drive not the 3 and a bit we had estimated, to far for a day trip

Oh well a change really is as good as a holiday, and its beautiful spending some extra time with each other. The kids are loving the adventure, Andrew and I are enjoying laughing at the catastrophe that is our holiday so far.

Mobile Blogging

I'm just doing a test that my Mobile blogging is working, I sent one a few hours ago and so far it hasn't come up on the blog.  So ignore this its just a bit of housekeeping

Were all Going on a Rainy Winter Holiday

Well, if it wasn't the yuckiest day we have had in a while i would be singing 'were all going on a summer holiday' because we are heading to the beach.

We are heading north to Shoal Bay, hopefully Andrew will be doing some fishing and relaxing, the boys will be doing some running and splashing and i will be doing some relaxing and reading.

So wish us some rain free time and not to much traffic for the drive. I will probably blog remotely but there is a chance i will be so busy relaxing that i just wont even think about it (how nice would that be)

Til Death

She knows he is dying
Standing strong by his side
Hysteria tearing at her insides
He looks at her
With his soft grey eyes
Wishing he could take it away
Hoping she will stay
This is their life, their journey
No one knows how it will end
Except that she will stay
And he will not

I Love Amazon

My books arrived from amazon this morning. There really is nothing more satisfying that finding a package on your doorstep early in the morning.

I had ordered;
+ Fresh Milk by Fiona Giles
+ Leading Antenatal Classes by Judith Schott
+ Not quiet what I was Planning edited by Smith magazine

The first two are for my course and I'm excited because they are so different from the other books I have read so far. The last is the compilation of the six word memoirs, which reminds me, I'm still waiting on your six word memoirs. So far i have mine (Bore two boys and found myself) Lizs (survived first 30 enjoying the rest) and Nicks (One day I'm gonna grow wings)

So come one get your butts moving and share :) mind you I'll be busy reading my new books 'grin'

I'm not going to Mt Isa

I don't know who saw this yesterday, but I am still reeling from the comments from the Mt Isa Major saying that beauty-disadvantaged women should head to Mt Isa because there are so many men they will be able to find someone willing to bonk them, well I'll let you read the exact quote but the term beauty-disadvantaged is all his.
