DUCKLING!

easter long weekend

mother duck

frets over losing

her ducklings.

they fell down

a roadside drain

through the grates.

this is the last

duckling

to be rescued

by boy.

family reunited

happy!

FEEDING HORSES

easter long weekend

saw some horses in a paddock

near mum and dad's place





beautiful creatures

up close

feeding them apples
boy looooves the smell of them . . . . . . .

HAPPINESS

boy and i were talking about happiness
what is it that makes us happy?

what are some simple, everyday things that make us happy?
so

we came up with a little list
of

everyday

simple

things

to do

write a handwritten letter to a friend or family member








have a go at writing poetry

try a new cafe for breakfast tell yourself a joke you've never heard before
make or build something

go smell a horse






do something touristy in your own city
grow something that you can eat
put crisp clean sheets on your bed
try to find a great song by a great artist you've never heard of before

get out two sheets of paper. On one list your attributes and on the other your flaws. Read them and then burn your list of flaws and keep your list of attributes

google something that interests you but that you have never researched

plan something - anything - to look forward to

find a friend from primary school

take lots of couple shots until you get the perfect one

read a book by a fire
on a cold day

cook a fabulous meal

for the enjoyment of another

lay on the grass,
look up at the clouds
and find
pictures there

make a list of things you enjoy doing

with someone

you would enjoy doing them with

{like we did}

KAYAKING

saturday
20 march 2010

boy and i went kayaking
boy’s looking for a new fitness thingy to do
since he’s got a bung knee :(
so........we tried
kayaking

and kayaking we did!
22 kms of kayaking!

we met tony (mr kayak)
at tunks park in northbridge
he took us through the drill
how to get in, get out, sit, paddle, steer

we paddled
we saw two historic wrecks
at salt pan creek

more paddling
some trouble steering
coordinating arm action and foot action
but so far so good

more paddling
morning tea stop at
flat rock beach
swim

more paddling
under the roseville bridge
and into garigal national park
where it’s peaceful
and there’s a
sandy strip
surrounded by trees
stop for lunch
exhausted
tired
sore

more paddling
all the way
back to tunks park

stroke
tim tams
snort
knee-slap
exhausted

spent
nothing left
exhausted
exhausted

KARAOKE

i think i’ve just found my ultimate website.
tubeoke
it turns youtube into karaoke.
kinda.
it encompasses a search tool that will let you look up
any music video file that is hosted on youtube.
you can search for specific songs or artist.
when you click on the file
the video will start playing
while a window on the right
displays the full lyrics to the song.
and all you have to do is sing-a-long.

HAPPINESS

lovely surprise

from boy
