Lighthouse at Hells Gates near Strahan.
Sarah Island near Strahan.

Tuesday 21.2.12




Couta Rocks is a very small town on the way from Arthur River to Strahan.
Ocean View is a beach near Strahan.
The view of Strahan harbour is what we saw as we dined at View42 on a gourmet buffet meal.
This sign at Corinna is very funny,

Monday 20.2.12



The lighthouse at Mersey Bluff, Devonport.
The Nut at Stanley. At the base of The Nut at the wharf there is a place that sells very nice fish and chips - expensive but good.
Marrawah beach, we had dinner at the Marrawah Tavern, Trev had a steak with a plum/chilli sauce, the sauce was lovely on my chips too, I had the fisherman's basket which even had fresh prawns in it.

Sunday 19.2.12


This is the view of Melbourne from on board the Spirit of Tasmania and the Spirit of Tasmania.

Friday 17.2.12


I picked Tiana up from school and we did some cooking and she made this picture using gold and silver glitter glue and cloth letters.
Finally the sweet corn is ready is eating - straight off the stem stripped of its husks and eaten raw - absolutely delicious.

16.2.12

These grevilleas are growing next door but hang over my fence, they attract the wattle birds everyday for most of the day.

Sunday 12.2.12



We had friends around for dinner, BBQ of course, the cork from the port broke off so Trev had to strain it.

Sunday 12.2.12


I got sick of mopping all the tiles all the time, 2 passageways, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, ensuite, laundry; so I went out and bought a good quality steam mop - much easier now.

11.2.12 Scrapbooking at Elaines

I first saw this type of page done by Vicki and knew that I had to do one too. It took me all day and I still didn't finish it. I have now and it looks great but a lot of work!

10.2.12 School


Tiana started school this week, today was the first time that I picked her up from school, she came flying at me and gave me the biggest cuddle: it was great :). She says she is loving school so far.

8.2.12 shoe

The cat from next door often frequents our place, and digs up any seeds that I've planted. Trev had taken off his shoes in the lounge room and left them there so I picked up one of his shoes, opened the back door and threw the shoe at the cat. The show missed the cat by quite a bit but the look on Trev's face was priceless. Now he says that he is getting me a super soaker for my birthday so that I can get the cat with that instead!

6.2.12 office

This is the latest spot for my desk at work. No doubt in a few months they will decide to move me again!

6.2.12 carrot

I've grown a little boy carrot!

5.2.12 Yukka's

These yukka's annoy me, they sucker and grow sprout from the stems so quickly and the leaves are quite pointy. One of the fellows from work wants them though and will take them next month - in the meantime i needed to prune all the baby yukka's away. I want to change this small side garden into roses and undercovers.

4.2.12 Corner of Burke and Lilley Rds

I oftne pass this spot and think that it wont be long before these hills are covered in houses.

2.2.12 Storm

We had a storm at work today. I don't know if the water tanks were full or if it was just raining that hard that the gutters could not cope but water was overflowing everywhere.

2.2.12 Manad

At work we are getting a new computerised documentation system called "Manad". Today was the first training day for the trainers but as we still have not got the program up loaded onto our work computers we cannot practice yet. Frustrating cause I want to play with it.

28.1.12 Vegies from the garden

I love being able to pick vegies straight from the garden for dinner.
