thursday night

came home (kee at work) and found this record on the table....rushed to take a picture of it cause it's so great, turned the camera on, and what a surprise! he's already taken the photo.

now munching on banana bread made last night in a flurry of domestic fervour that hit us both ....been seing so many lovely things on blogs lately - so much inspiration out there!

looking forward to the weekend.....

small treats

finally! our mattress is no longer on the floor. we now have a futon base!

small things collected from week away camping.

special parcel in the mail from my sister! (she has great music taste to boot!)

cherry tomatoes from our balcony garden.

last weekend...

had my hair cut by a lovely lady on sydney road - her salon 'rommelik' comes highly recommended by me! she leant me bic runga cd's (one of my faves) and i thought it was so sweet of her that i made cranes to tuck into the cover for her as a thankyou.

crocheting my first hexagon.

finally we drank the bottle of champagne we've been meaning to drink since christmas. too many emotions to mention. quite fine along plates of bits and bobs (our fave meal!)

words i like (by leslie feist)

Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born oh
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups oh

But in the meantime we've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay

Old dirt road,
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
knee deep snow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
o-o-o-o-old

I got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house oh
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done oh

How many acres, how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map

Old dirt road,
mushaboom, mushaboom)
knee deep snow
mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow,
mushaboom, mushaboom)
o-o-o-o-old
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old dirt road rambling rose
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Well I'm Sold...
