A cute little story

(As told by Freya, on the way home from the airport.)

The machines from Wump World came to our house.
They silly machines tried to break the nectarine tree.
The possums in the tree put big scratches on the machines with their claws.
They wrecked the machines and threw them over the fence.
I cuddled the possums on my lap so they wouldn't be scared.

The End.

Funny little dunjas

A week or so ago I found these pretty green insect eggs on the side of the soon-to-be-dismantled Bomb shelter:


I was expecting them to get gobbled up, but this morning I saw that they had hatched into these funny little dunjas (as Freya would say!):


I rescued this lovely moth from the sink last night:


All in all a bugtastic day.

Funny girl and other stories.

Today Freya did a totally wicked drawing on her Mega Sketcher (magnetic thingy), and then we did her Charlie and Lola puzzle. She was rather pleased with herself, so she came down to see me in the dungeon wearing her medal from the creche olympics. "I won," she said. "I got a medal!". That was very cute.

Here's the finished artwork:


Today was the first day back at creche after the Xmas break. Missed yesterday as Boog was a bit unwell. She moaned bitterly in the morning but as soon as we got there she was smiling and happy! When I went to pick her up she was asleep, poor chicky, and she took a while to wake up and cheer up but then she was quite perky.

I was feeling fairly good today, my cough has largely cleared up and I was only a bit wobbly at times. Made a nice curry for dinner, haven't had that recipe for years & it worked out quite well.

Scored something rather good today... saw an old monitor which had been left next to a charity bin (which technically is littering, so I have done a public service by removing it!) which looked quite nice and was fairly large. I snaffled it and took it home. I looked it up online, it's an old Sony 21" (!!!!) complete with built in USB hub. This evening I plugged it in (standing well back!) and then connected up my Laptop, and voila it works quite well! Cranked it up to 1280 x 1024 and it looked good, for some reason the brightness was way up but I tweaked it a bit and it seems to be in good nick... Hooray for scrounging I say!

Off to Canberra on Friday...
