Day 112 - Side by Side

After a morning at the markets, where Glenda ran a stall selling produce from the community garden, including her jams and chutneys and where Jenna spent about half an hour choosing some cowrie shells from the jewellery stall (I felt just like I was waiting outside of Diva for her) we came home for some lunch and for Henry to decide he didn't want a sleep. Conversely Dale did want a sleep, so Jenna, Henry, Glenda and I took a walk down to the beach. In a semi attempt to get Henry to fall asleep we even wheeled him down in the stroller. That didn't work.

Anyway, Jenna and the little green machine had a great time running about the beach, even if Henry did sit down in the water by accident in the first couple of minutes. Keen to get Henry into the water, Jenna did her best to entice him. Henry had other ideas about those little foamy waves surrounding his feet!

Day 111 - Reunited at Last!

We drove down south to Eden this afternoon for a visit with Dale's Mum, Glenda. Jenna has been staying with her Nanna Glenda all week and we will be bringing her home at the end of the weekend. Unusually, because Jenna has been away, Henry hasn't seen his sister all week. The look on his face when he saw Jenna up in the windows at the front of the house on our arrival, was priceless! Henry chose Jenna to read him his bed time story tonight.

Day 25 - Tandem Post... What's In Your Glovebox?

The other day, Dale showed me a picture on Facebook that basically pointed out the difference between how clean a woman's car is, compared to a man's, which gave me the idea for today's tandem post... who do you think had the most rubbish in their glovebox? Me or Dale? You can see the results of his glovebox photo over at Another Project 366 Sheep Joins the Herd.

So here are the contents of my glovebox in some detail.

1. Sat nav with fleecy bag, not working at the moment because I broke the cord
2. Birthday card from 5M, given to me in 2009
3. One blue biro
4. One glasses cleaning cloth
5. An unidentified charger for something or other
6. An empty chip packet, cheese and onion flavour
7. Strand of green beads from Dale's work Christmas party some years ago
8. Bart Simpson CD case (used to be Dale's - now filled with any CDs we have 2 copies of, for long drives when the iPod battery is flat)
9. Assorted plastic items - CD tray, ziplock bag and a wrapper
10. Two expired gym membership cards
11. Plastic cap for iPod cord
12. Dale's business card which says I Heart You on the back
13. Collection of shells from a trip to Eden
14. Pile of random receipts
15. Pile of random papers, including a photocopy of Mum's birth certificate and an indemnity form from Phillip Island (thanks Dale)
16. Hottest 100 Volume 15 cover, Freebie Aus Music CD that came in the SMH about 8 years ago, AC/DC Live and Gotye CDs
17. Ten Cents
18. Reflector from Dale's trailer
19. One I nearly missed because you almost can't see it in the picture... a set of Nokia earphones, which might be Dale's because I don't think I have ever owned a Nokia!

So what's in your glovebox? Feel free to share and link back!

Day 5 - Lunch with George

Today we made the drive home to Canberra and stopped in Nimmitabel, where we often stop for a pie, between Eden and Canberra or vice versa. We always stop at the bakery located next to the, apparently famous, Nimmitabel elephant! Now I have always wondered why there is an elephant here... after a bit of googling I found that his name is George, but not much else! If anyone knows more about 'George', I would like to know!

Day 4 - Queen of the Castle

We hit the beach again this morning, because it looked like there might be a bit of a change in the weather by the afternoon. We built sandcastles, swam and played at the water's edge and took a stack of photos of Henry playing in the sand and Jenna having a bit of a boogie board. Having taken some great photos of each, I also tried to get a bit creative with today's photo. It's my aim this year to get a few more photos like this that I am really happy with!

Day 3 - Hi Jenna!

If you squint a bit you can see who Henry saw in the water. There is Jenna out with her boogie board and Henry is giving her a little delayed wave. We arrived at Eden early afternoon, for a visit with Dale's Mum, Glenda, and it was almost straight down to the beach to grab a couple of hours play before dinner. We dug in the sand and built a few sandcastles, Uncle Dion dug a hole to hide Henry in, Dale and Jenna braved it in the water and Sawyer (Dion's little dog) ran up and down the beach barking at the waves; a good afternoon had by all.

Oh, and as Dale pointed out - a happy 3rd anniversary to us on the third day of 2012!
