- It feels like it's been raining for months.
- I adore the rain.
- We completely rearranged the back room on Friday night.
- Our 'back room' is our dining room, office, living room, play room.
- It was an ambitious and somewhat stupid time to start this process.
- Saturday morning was family brunch to celebrate Chef's birthday.
- He was 38 on Wednesday.
- I got to bed at 3am and was up at 6.15am.
- Such little sleep was as awful as I remembered it to be.
- I have not been coping with the reality that this house as become Tantrum Central.
- Even Grover got sent to his room today.
- My inlaws returned from their trip to the Gulf country late last week after being away for about six weeks.
- Tomorrow, I'm dropping Grover up at their place afer I take Oscar to speech and then drop him at school and Jasper at kindy.
- I'm so excited I'm not sure what I'll do but I do know there will be a component of browsing with no agenda.
- I've been making my own sourdough breads for the last two weeks and I'm still not happy with them but it's such glorious dough to work with I am persevering.
- Tonight I made vegetable pasties for dinner and they were sensational.
- I even made the pastry and it didn't split or break or anything.
- I've lost three kilos which is good but not near the goal I had set for myself this term.
- Last week I organised appointments for Oscar at the paediatrician, dentist and cp specialist and dealt with my gallbladder.
- This week will be calls to another kindy to say we'd still like a spot and a local music school to investigate keyboard lessons for Felix and local sporting associations to find out about possibilities for Oscar.
- My MIL brought me over a big bag of lemons, so this week will also feature the production of quite a few jars of lemon butter.
- Our internet connection and payTV for that matter have been dodgy for the last three weeks or so.
- It's been really quite annoying.
- Tomorrow, the fifth serviceman - an engineer no less - will pay us a visit to try and work out why the hell it's not working.
- Possums have been decimating our backyard for years.
- After doing some research I am trying the whole new approach of actually leaving food out for them.
- Apparently if you do this they eat that and not your plants/parsley/passionfruit vine/lime tree.
- That or I am a complete idiot.

The greedy buggers eat your parsley ANYWAY, even when you fill them to the gills with a wonderful selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.
They are, however, tres, tres cute.
Maybe the possums are also decimating the phone/TV cables...
Any chance of a pastie recipe?
Gee, that's quite a day. Just caught up on your gall bladder news, too. I guess it must be nice to have a diagnosis, but poor you!
lara - recipe is up over at allconsuming: food
DMM - they better bloody not.
Uli - yes, but more likely the cockies.
Hi kim - I think I am back in the land of the living after being submerged in deb photos - although from the sounds of it you might like to swap places!
