The cubby house

What to do on a day where you are crazy bored? You transform your room into a cubby, that's what.

A meal that brings back my childhood

It's been many years since I've eaten Chow Mein/Kai See Ming. In fact I think I may have only made it once since I left home. I can't remember what made me think of it, but once it was in my head I had to make it there and then.

So tonight I put it in front of my kids for the first time ever and their faces said it all. I was lucky to even get them to taste it.

Well I liked it. I guess I'll be eating it for a while considering how much I bloody made.

We'll go dancing in the dark, walking the in the park and.....

.... reminiscing reading through old blogs.

Now I've got that damn song in my head. Anyway, there is nothing like reading back through a poor neglected blog to get you typing again. There are so many little things that you have totally forgotten until you start to read.

Like the kids deciding to make you eggs for breakfast, making then wrecking gorgeous baby singlets, Jack strutting his stuff - The Village People style, taking the novel approach to getting the kids to eat and the hair snagging saga.

I've laughed and I've cried today reading through all of them and I've realised that I've missed blogging. I've missed having a record of the daily grind. I've missed sharing it with friends and family.

So I'm starting blogging again...soon.

Really big ouch!

I took the kids to the beach today and in typical parent fashion I covered them with sunscreen a few times and myself only once.


I didn't really do my back properly and should have got one of the kids to do it for me - but you live and learn unfortunately.












Please excuse the feral expression but that's how sunburn makes me feel
