This will be my last post for a little while. We leave early tomorrow morning for Geraldton. I will check my email while we are away if I get the opportunity, but there will definitely not be any updates to this site during that time. Rest assured though, I plan to take lots of photos […]
I feel exhausted from getting ready to go on holiday. We’ve been packing, writing instructions, tidying and cleaning the house, and getting the spa cleaned and filled up. I wrote out to-do lists for both of us for this week – we each had slightly different tasks to assigned. Despite a full day yesterday I’ve […]
I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I made this stir-fry for my lunch during the week using the 4-day-old leftover cooked rice noodles from Saturday night. Jac would’ve chucked the noodles out by then, but they smelled fine to me and I just put them in a colander and refreshed them a little under […]
So this is not quite magic, but very tasty nonetheless. This is something I like to cook from time to time, just like another of my old favourites created from tinned meat, SPAM, egg and rice. My mum used to cook a similar dish when we were kids. It’s very easy to make – regular […]

You can download a free (free registration required) fix for Windows XP which will automatically shift your PC clock as necessary while maintaining your pc’s Windows time synchronisation.

I had my follow-up visit with the dermo this morning. Good news – I don’t have to see him again unless I get a bad flare-up, but he thinks as long as I keep moisturising like crazy and stay away from detergents, soaps, ordinary shampoo and conditioner (I have been using soap-free/perfume-free shower wash, shampoo […]
Ta-dah! Yes, I made trifle for our dessert! No, those are not my hands. :) Our lunch guests love sweeties, and we knew we just had to serve dessert. I thought a cold dessert would go well after a heavy hot roast lunch. Jac supervised my trifle-making in her role as “chief cook of the […]
And so ends our special event mini-series Commentgate: The Dummy Spit of TFP. We will now resume normal programming. Yesterday my younger sister and her boyfriend came over for lunch and to get the run-down regarding what needs to be done when they house/cat-sit for us when we go on holiday to Geraldton next week. […]
Okay, okay. Yes, I chose to write publically about my response (my thoughts and feelings) to a particular comment. In this case, I had a fairly (hah!) negative response. In hindsight, perhaps I shouldn’t have. It doesn’t really matter to me what Mike’s response may be to these last few posts – I realise I […]
Thank you to everyone who left a comment re: the last post. I was genuinely interested to see what people thought – if they responded to Mike’s comment in a similar or completely different way to me. I thought it would generate some interesting responses (and I think it did!). Now for my response. When […]
