Today I am off to visit my friend Marguerita…..who is my hairdresser. On the agenda is the whole works, the streaking, foiling, dying, waxing, treating, cutting…yes all in all I am hoping for a complete miracle!
I am a little overdue for a visit and am beginning to resemble my woolly goat Blackie ..but with a few more grey hairs. I do however feel it was very wrong of TETB to grab a handful of my flowing locks on his way out the door this morning and say that he hoped Marguerita has sharpened her hedge clippers up, as she is going to need them to get through this lot!
Envy…that’s all it is “Baldy”…pure and simple *envy*!
Where has my little baby gone?

I am trying not to think about it too much but my little boy is almost all growed up!
It is only a matter of days and he will turn 17 and on the weekend he is attending the university open day to decide which course he will possibly pursue next year.
I remember the day he was born..(just ..I almost paid for him with my own life) and of course his first words, steps and first day at school.
There has never been a day that I haven’t been proud to be his Mum and I am amazed at how he continues to achieve amazing things regardless of the troubles that are continually laid at his door.
Good luck with choosing the next steps of your career path Callum, whatever they end up being I will be standing on the sidelines cheering you on!
Love Mum x
Bloomin beautiful!

I have the least green thumbs of anyone I know..this is something that would really disappoint my late grandparents who were both the most amazing gardeners I have ever seen.
This time however I am really pleased with myself! I recently planted three roses in planters in the front yard and so far have had two of them come into bloom.
This first one is called ‘Charles de Gualle’.
This one is ‘Eiffel Tower’
Beautiful aren’t they?
It smells like a….

…locker room in here!
Why is it that most of the rubs that are supposed to help alleviate rheumatic pain make you smell like a world class athlete? Pity they didn’t make me perform like one!
I have found the few products that have little or no smell are as about as good as rubbing water into your skin and just have no oooomph.
At least while I am smelling like this TETB doesn’t have any need to take his allergy medications, his sinus cavities have never been so clear…LMAO.
So there you go scientists…another job to add to your list, rheumatic rub that doesn’t smell like I am about to run the New York Marathon (chance would be a fine thing!) and while you are at it don’t forget those easy to open medicine jars please.
Come one, come all…

Danger…danger!

We often have overseas visitors telling us how brave we are to live in Australia with all the deadly creepy crawlies we have in this country, especially out here in the bush.
To be honest I barely give a second thought to the Redback Spiders that are prolific around here or the deadly snakes..seen quite a few of the nasty brown snakes about, but I worry more about them hurting the animals more than the humans after losing our beloved Ozzie to one a few years ago (RIP Oz x).
Then of course there are :
The Box Jellyfish, The Irukandji Jellyfish, Salt Water Crocodiles, The Blue Ringed Octopus, The Stone Fish, Tiger Snakes, Sharks and Funnel Web Spiders..I guess if we stopped and thought about it too much it would seem there are quite a few scary things hanging about…all over this vast country of ours.
But according to the latest report from The National Coroner’s Office, the most dangerous animals in Australia are the horse and the cow. Horses are the creatures most likely to cause a human’s death here…from 2000 -2006, 40 people were killed by horses and 20 by cows.
So I guess the message there is to be aware that danger is everywhere …everyday, even in places we wouldn’t expect.
I am really going to be extra vigilant now as I have heard that these “Bucket headed cows” can be incredibly nasty..especially if they aren’t fed on time . LOL!
