My blog is moving!

This is what I should have done a few weeks ago... instead of people not being able to find my blog!

Sleepover Party

Mairead and Hamish came for a sleepover last night. Donna brought dinner, which was lovely, then I gave the kids a shower (Hamish couldn't believe that we don't have a bath!) - and they even cleaned the shower for me! :P It took them ages to go to sleep - we sat down here and listened to lots of giggling, thumping, etc, and got up several times to settle them down. I ended up having to sit in there with them (and nearly went to sleep myself!). So we woke up at 6am this morning (since they were sleeping in our room), and I brought them down to watch ABC Kids. Alastair isn't feeling great, so I'm being lovely and letting him sleep. :) It's 9am though... perhaps the kids want to jump on him... :)

No Sugar??

Alastair and I are about to give up sugar.

And do more exercise.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

But I am good at procrastinating, and that can be tomorrow. For now, I shall settle down with a quilt, a movie, and a packet of mint slice biscuits. :P

Photos of our little house!

I finally managed to get my act together and take some pictures!

So when you come to visit, you walk up these stairs...


... down the side of the house...
(although our house is actually on your right - this is looking back towards the road!)


...until you come to our back door.
(Please excuse the bag of rubbish at the door, it isn't usually there!)

From just inside the door, it looks like this:
(The bookshelf with the curtains is our pantry, since there isn't a real pantry).


Various angles of what we call "downstairs":





Through the doorway... to the left is the toilet, straight ahead is to Jim's house, and to the right are the stairs leading upstairs...


... up the stairs we go...


Looking back down the stairs:


At the top of the stairs, this greets you:


Looking into "upstairs". Alastair's computer and my sewing machine are side by side. :)


The bedroom end of "upstairs"


Through the lefthand doorway is our shower and basin. Oh, and we don't have a wardrobe - hence the rack for our clothes. :P


The view from one of the windows.


And another window. To the left of the telegraph pole you can see the lighthouse down at Wollongong. :)


And these are the kind of cupcakes we make at our house!
