Two hundred and fifty…
When I hit the publish button this will be my 250th post. Yay!!!
My gorgeous14 year old God daughter B is off to Japan this Friday. B is really excited and wishes to thank YOU. The Lovely Internets, who donated over $100 towards her trip. You can read all about it here if you want. I think that the trip will be wonderful. Can you imagine 20 ‘country kids’ getting off the plane in Japan then hitting the noodle bars in Tokyo before heading to Osaka? *sigh* I wish I was going (and I bet B’s mum wishes that she was going as well)
I am going to Melbourne with Mum on Thursday, just for the day. We fly out of Hobart at 9am and leave Melbourne at 8 pm. So are there any Victorians out there who can tell me what I can do in Heidelburg for four hours. I have googled Heidelburg and I really don’t want to go to Dominos or JB HiFi.. *sigh* I was thinking of catching a train and visiting the National Gallery but I have never caught a train before and I am a tad nervous about it.
It snowed here yesterday and this morning we are snowed in. I read in Veronica’s comments that XBox wasn’t entirely sure whether Vonnie was serious or not when she mentioned that some roads would possibly be closed because of the weather.
Yep XB she was serious. This is Australia mate and any excuse for a sickie will do.
2 inches of snow on a major highway and we shut the bugger.

Weekly winners…. (yay)
Yay!! It is that time of the week again. Go and check out Lotus the lovely Sarcastic mom and while you are there you should really try to find the time to visit some lovely photographers that share their Weekly Winners as well…
I was late because….
I stopped on my way to TAFE this morning to take these photos of the river.
I had to stop driving because honestly I was spending more time looking at the river than at the road..
I was running really late by now but the river was just too gorgeous.
It was a beautiful morning. I am pleased that I stopped and spent ten minutes photographing the Derwent. It was a good thing I didn’t have my fishing rod in the back of the car or I might have been tempted to have a bit of a fish as well.
Wordless Wednesday, Shhhh!!!!

Weekly Winners.. (yay)
Here are my winners for this week… YAY!!! There are heaps more over at Lotus aka Sarcastic Mom’s place. Go on over and have a quick gander…
This first photo is a Retro Shot.. Veronica and my Mum. I reckon that Vonnie was probably about two.
It has been a cold, grey and ultimately snowy week this week brrr and “yes it does SO snow in Australia” Halfway through posting these photos I was starting to suffer from an overdose of greyness so I found some peaches for a reminder of summer colour.. cheers kim xxx
Which shoes to choose mmmm????
First thing in the morning (6 am on a school day *sigh*) I stumble out to the kitchen, put the kettle on, turn on the computer and let the dog out (spoiled hound sleeps inside). I glanced out the window this morning and half noticed that there had been a heavy frost, a very heavy frost. It was still dark and I didn’t really take that much notice because my eyes needed coffee. Does that happen to you? Do your eyes see things but fail to send the messages to your brain, but once you have had your first coffee the images start hitting you hard and fast?
Anyway the dog hadn’t appeared, asking to be let outside (sook). So I drank my coffee and did all the essential first thing in the morning stuff like checking my emails and quickly reading a few blogs. Then it dawned on me it wasn’t a heavy frost it was snow. YAY..
There was less than 2 inches of snow but it was enough to make me Happy..
And then I was faced with a dilemma, which shoes do I choose?
Hmmm tough decision..
But it worked for me.
Not so mysterious..
Hehehe the mystery object was a close-up of my mask and yes I was modelling it at the time.
Some of the ingredients in glazes are pretty toxic and the dust in dry clay can cause silicosis so a good mask is a pretty important piece of equipment. There is also the added advantage of being able to run around pretending to be Darth Vader.. Thanks for having a go.. cheers Kim xxx
an update of sorts and a Mystery object…
I would like to thank everyone for your emails, nice comments, cyber hugs and prayers. I really really appreciate it. Thankyou. Mum received the results of her biopsy today and whilst the news wasn’t good it also wasn’t hopelessly bad. Mum needs to travel to Melbourne for a P.E.T scan thingy and once we get the results from that we will be able to formulate a plan of attack. You can nick over to Veronica’s for a bit more info if you like.
There actually is a P.E.T scanner thing here. It is just outside Hobart in a bloody great big cardboard box shipping container. Typically there is some bureaucratic bullshit happening and a rather large, quite useful and very expensive piece of medical equipment is sitting in storage until some useless dickhead politician decides to sign a release form.. Or at least that is what we were shown on the local news tonight. *sigh*
I didn’t get much sleep last night and because my sleepless toddler has grown up.. I am all out of practice at functioning on minimal sleep.
So I will finish up with a mystery object… What do you reckon this is my lovelies???
I balance amazing cooking with indifferent housekeeping. Vacuuming is definitely bad for your soul. Unless someone else does it, then it is B.A.D for your ears as well... *sigh*
