7 Things about self:
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/maps/pacific/australia
- I have just arrived back in Sydney from a 10 hour drive from Melbourne (where we purchased a new car)…see map of Australia above….it’s a long, long way…880kms
- I am eating strawberries as I write this
- I am drinking wine as I write this…even though it’s only 4 in the arvo because I am tired from the long drive, shared with hubby and celebrating the new car purchase.
- Our cat was de-sexed this week, the cat my son introduced to this ‘dog’ household when he found it in a dumpster!!!!! The cat who vomitted on the carpet after the surgery….poor thing I know, but the carpet….really….not the tiles 😦 😦
- I love driving through the country and will upload some of the car window photos (photos taken at highway speeds out the window) I took as we drove home through miles of country areas.
- We had breakfast at a beautiful country cafe in Gunning where local girls did all the cooking and local supplies were used. (Or maybe I’ll show some of the cafe)
- I may leave home because son 2 just purchased a guitar….oh help…..he has never had a lesson and I guess he’ll be self-teaching for a while…..hence me leaving home.
I now nominate these sites for this award. There are so many inspiring and lovely blogs and these are my nominations for now:

Well done on the award, and thank you so much for the nomination, I am honoured that you would give it to me.
I was having a laugh at the things you put. I have cat’s and one of them tends to puke on the floor that I have just cleaned – yes, the carpet. The WHITE carpet. LOL
My son has a guitar and he has been self teaching. He is actually at the stage where it is bearable now 🙂
