Is this not the most beautiful thing?

The feijoa is flowering again... fingers crossed for an improvement on last year's harvest of one.

Other bits of our garden...

* My husband does not normally look like Chopper - he was participating in Movember.

In other news, my sister has just reported back from her 5 days in the Galapagos Islands. She had her 29th birthday on board a catamaran surrounded by dolphins, manta rays, sharks and sea lions. She's sent a few photos, but this one is my favourite....

So how's that - two posts in two days! And I'm going to bust a gut to get to SnB tonight.

Perhaps....

Well perhaps I was taking the whole 'blogging without obligation' a little too far - as Quilting Mick suggested.... In my defence, I am 34 weeks pregnant and we've had a loss in the family (granted that was only last week) and basically I haven't done anything more remarkable than sleep. I finish work this week which will be great - lugging my increasing girth around in the heat is becoming tiresome. I did make it to Stitch n Bitch on Sunday which was wonderful food for the soul. But I certainly haven't done enough to keep you folk entertained.

What I can do is bring you an installment of 'Where's the Dayflower?' You may remember that my little sister is off gallivanting around the world and before she left I gave her a Dayflower scarf. Seems she's been using it, because I just got a photo of her at Perito Moreno Glacier. Looks likes she's learned to wear it properly too.

Yay for useful gifts!

I've got more to tell, but I don't want to raise your expectations. I'll leave it a couple of days.

Blogging without obligation...

I've heard it spoken of, but now I've found the site (through What you think on grows). Consider me well and truly ON this bandwagon!

How does knitting effect your home life?

Or, how does home life effect your knitting...

In other news, we went to Boorowa yesterday for Irish Woolfest. My husband's family comes from Boorowa so it was a family trip. My mum came along too. The pinnacle event at Woolfest is 'The running of the sheep' which is likened to Pampolona's running of the bulls - except that there is no threat of being gored or trampled to death.

There was some beautiful handcrafts, and gorgeous native flowers and some wool... mostly good wholesome undyed merino, but nothing got me too excited. So while I didn't make it to PicKnit or SnB I figured I did my fibre time...

Still sick - doc thinks that its bronchitis now. Seems the wee bub is making it hard for me to recover from this one...

Hope all is well.

And so begins the wait...

Found you!

Bye...

My sister left Australia today for 7 months gallivanting around the world. I'm so excited for her, but so sad for me... I'm going to miss her heaps. Hence the ticker at the top of the page. I made her a little passport holder out of an old map of Australia, but didn't get any photos... its the only thing I've done recently because I've been sick with a sinus infection. But I did get some great news last week, my friend with brain cancer is in remission! I hope it lasts for a long long time.

Blah Blah Blah

Thanks for introducing me to Spell with Flickr Sherpa!
