Thistle-do

Thistle-do This will do for a Thursday evening hey?!

A sweet spoon.

Well hello! Imagine seeing you here! Do you like my spoon? Do you like my (sugar) pot  ;-)

Beach Bliss

Hi All! Did you notice I was not very 'here' last week??? Well, I was in another place altogether...

Photo challenge; a fan

Hiya! Thought I'd show you a shot of our ceiling fan that I took using Mr Techno's idevice...

This i-stuff is quite the go hey?! As a stay-at-home mum I've been not exactly avoiding it, but I've been ignoring it. New technology is fun, and I do think the small people in my house (and every other house) will be the generation of the touch screen. Whereas we are generation of the mouse! BUT I've been going for the simple life, on a single income, and that doesn't include the purchase of new devices just because they're available. Even though I would really love to try them ;-) So I've been resisting!

But then these devices started appearing, purchased as a part of Mr Techno's employment. And occasionally I got to have a turn on an idevice. Hmmm. They ARE fun! And they can take some interesting photos... So, though I am NOT heading out to purchase an idevice anytime soon, I am investigating some contracts including my own mobile phone and we will see... 

In the meantime, enjoy your day whether it's inclusive of smart devices or not!!!

R, Emm.

Big skies

You know, there's something about big skies isn't there?

An urn in the evening

Here's our urn in the evening light. A bit of fun photography that I didn't expect!

Simple picnic = quiet house!

On the weekend the house was LOUD! I needed quiet. So I invented a simple picnic for small people and it provided a lovely quiet house...

Op-Shop Jag

Alright. So I don't own a lot of designer clothing. Never have, never will. I might admire some designer/labelled clothing but there's nothing about my lifestyle that supports the purchase of it, even down to my philosophies. However, right now I'm enjoying some casual Jag. Albeit of the op-shop form....

The tussle with Tussock

Ever heard of serrated tussock? Neither had I. I am fast learning a LOT about it now though...

Dainty Doilies

 

It strikes me as funny that you can google the word 'doily' and Wikipedia provides ample information on these dainties! A craft so ancient on a platform so modern.

Unspeakable days

On Monday we picked these stems off the roadside. On Monday we had an unspeakable day.

Rain on the pane

Like my shot of rain on the pane? This pane of glass just happens to be our windscreen... and no, I wasn't the driver!
