Day 15

Woohoo I am halfway through my blog marathon..... 15 days to go. Maybe it will become more of a habit now and I will blog more often after the 30 days are over?? We will see...

Today I finished the Christmas shopping. I still have to make some goodies. I am giving quite a few handmade pressies this year to those that I know will appreciate them... hopefully I will have them finished and in the mail before the big fella in red comes down the chimney!!

Today Lisa posted a really cool list of things. It is called the Cowboy's Guide to Life and I hope she doesn't mind but I have copied and pasted it here for my blog. Enjoy...

Poo.. I can't get it to copy and paste. Here is the link to Lisa's Blog .

Day 14

I went to the movies today - by myself! If I want to see a chick flick then I have to go alone.

I saw The Time Traveller's Wife. Not riveting or terribly wonderful but still worth watching. Even if it was only to see Eric Bana naked several times!!! Cute bum!!

Still no word on the house - have found a couple of others to look at so will see what happens this week.

Day 13

There is a free book up for grabs over at Linda Cockburn's blog. I haven't read it but I love the way she writes on her blog. She lives in tasmania and they are building their own house, have animals and veges and all cool things relating to being self sufficient. Go have a look... Linda is an inspiration... www.lintrezza.blogspot.com

Ciao for now....

Day 12

I had to leave this behind today.
After 3 wonderful days at Daylesford, it was time to head home. It took less than an hour to be home, so I really should duck down there more often. I was taking macro shots of this water lily yesterday when this little critter decided to fly down for a look. How lucky for me was that?
















The second photo is of Jubilee Lake from the playground. How tranquil does that look? It is unless there is a heap of teenagers canoeing in it!

Day 11 - Calm today

I am over the whole house thing... what will be will be...
Today I had a lovely day hanging out with beautiful homeschooled kids and their Mums. We checked out the most amazing shop with all things hand made! They have a website - www.lark.com.au Go and have a look for yourself!
Then climbed to the top of the tower for a view of Daylesford - simply stunning!!
A yummy cappacino at Sweet Decadence - don't you love the name?
Back to the camp to take heaps of photos of the big kids having a canoe around on the lake.
Now it time for dinner and lots of Mummy chat over a coffee.

It realy doesn't get much better than this....

Day 10 - perhaps a change of mind

on behalf of the current owners of the house we offered on. Today the real estate lady rang Andrew back to say that the owners were rethinking our offer and would get back to us regarding our offer!
So..thank you to Jill, Susy, Sandie and Lisa would sent supportive and encouraging comments. It may have done the trick. Please keep thinking happy thoughts for us and I will let you know tomorrow what is happening.
I am a lucky girl because the boys and I have left Dad at home to fend for himself while we go on homeschool camp to this really awful place called Daylesford!! Ha ha... not... it is gorgeous here. Today was even warm enough for the boys to have a paddle in Lake Jubilee. I've had a look around some cute little shops and had some yummy coffee - this homeschooling is such hard work, but someone has to do it.. Right??
Ok folks... catch you tomorrow!!

Day 9

but not a good enough offer apparently!! We are NOT proud house owners.

That's it.... end of today's blog!
