Life is Short.

January 17 is a hard day for me. And my family.

35 years ago my dad died. Big heart attack. I was 10.
He was 48. He left a family of 5 kids and mum.

I still miss him.

Today teaches me:
Life is too damn short, so don't take it seriously!

It's ok to skid into the customer service seat at Medicare feeling like a lottery winner, because your number came up, (yipee!) only to discover that it's not actually your number!!! To turn around and discover your husband bent double giggling like a school girl!!! actually that was pretty funny…

…see I'm better already!

Welcome to 2012!

Yes, and we are 16 days into it!

Today was the first day back at work, and although busy, I seemed to float through it. I hope that your first day when you got (or get) back into normality after Christmas goes as easily!

26 days have flown by on our holiday break.

John and his Dad had their own personal project with uncladding and then re-cladding our shed, just a small one guys, 6x15 metres!! Anyway, the finishing touches are going on as I write. Then the hard work of clearing the inside arrives! (Any volunteers??) I keep telling him it'll be like being a couple of pirates, there'll be treasure in them there walls! arrrrrr.

Here are some of the progress shots…
(the first photo is a very old one,
when Slinky was allowed out!)
