A Week in Pictures (and a few words)

While I am officially on a "blogging holiday" I couldn't resist sharing these photos with you.

Our Wisteria is now blooming.

I took loads of photos of these Rainbow Lorikeets playing in our Jacaranda Tree.

And on Fairlie's orders I present my TBR pile. March is half-finished, Theft by Peter Carey is my Melbourne bookgroup's November choice, How Language Works is a bedside table staple (sad, I know), Carpentaria is my current read and I have to admit it is a bit of a trudge. The top book is my "blogbook". I put blog ideas in there whenever they come to me.

It's amazing what I can achieve when I unleash myself from the computer. This week I've tackled loads of things that have been languishing on my "to do" list for ages.

• My office is tidy,
• The filing is UP TO DATE, as is the ironing, as is the washing.
• I've finally got council permission to remove a Camphour Laurel from the corner of our property.
  I tried watching trashy tv. Didn't work.
• I've ordered a new desk (ULTRA sleek with white Starfire glass top).
• Also ordered an outdoor setting.
• Did I mention my blogging holiday was also EXPENSIVE?
• I've bought birthday presents for the next 3 birthdays.
  I've been TRYING to read Carpentaria.
• I've updated my computer stuff, deleted un-used programs and generally tidied up my electronic act.

BUT

(close eyes if you are squeamish)

My thumb also had a fight with my kitchen knife while I was chopping vegetables on Wed night. And the knife won. Really gross. No, I mean REALLY gross.

Anyway, back to my blogging holiday until I can't resist any longer.
