I'm currently waiting for DH to arrive home. He was down in Sydney this week and on his way home today when a P Plater slammed into him pushing him into the car in front. It was our old 2nd car (a little Laser) that was given to us by my mother in law when my youngest was born 9 years ago to give me something to get around in.
He is OK - he says. Although I suspect he just doesn't want to worry me. The car is a write off and had to be towed away.
We were only just talking last weekend about what to do about our old car - whether to sell, trade in or keep.
It will be a long wait for him .... I'm looking up how much it will cost to replace it. Thankfully it was fully insured but that will probably take a while to go through.

Relaxing Weekend??
What ever made me think that I would have a relaxing weekend? Why was I looking forward to it so much?? LOL! DH arrived back Friday night only to complain as there was no dinner for him. I did try to explain that after leaving work at 5.15pm, dropped a work colleague off at her house, pick up youngest DD from grandparents, drop home to pick up eldest daughter - go back into town to drop her off at the movies, wait with her for her friends to arrive, grabbed Macca's, drove to local grocers to pick up a few things and finally got home. He got eggs on toast - and should be grateful for that!
Saturday is always cleaning and washing day -the line was full. After all the rain we've had I'd put on hold washing a few curtains and things but it's now spring and it needs to be done. I love seeing beautiful white curtains flapping around on the line.
Spent a little time on the computer catching up with things. I've joined Face book but am trying not to get addicted and spend all my time on it. But it's good for quick catch ups with friends.
Started my latest book for the book club "Like Water for Chocolate" by Laura Esquirel, so far I love it but have only read the first couple of chapters.
Last night we caught up with our favourite TV Show - Dr Who. The Master is back!!! Had a bottle of bubbly and the cheese and biscuits to celebrate. Both DH and I have been fans since the 80's, I love the new series.
Today we went up to inlaws with our tent to put it up for the first time (our backyard is still too wet). It took us an hour and half to put up and put down - and we broke a pole which we now have to get replaced. Stopped for a drink and some lovely jam drop biscuits freshly out of the oven that MIL had made and then off into town.
I wanted to get a few things more for our trip but couldn't find what I needed but still came home with stuff. I also had to return some clothes that I purchased during the week for myself - when I got home they didn't fit - the sizes are so crazy these days. In the end DH and I were getting cranky with each other so decided it was time to come home. I ended up falling asleep on the couch.
I guess what I do look forward to is spending some time with my family, getting ready to go away and spend more time with them and not being a clock watcher.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

The Small Footprint Initiative
Received an email from a friend regarding The Small Footprint Initiative and thought I'd blog it - looks interesting. Would love to hear from anyone who goes.
Pacific Palms on the NSW Mid North Coast, is an area of diverse natural beauty and ecology which has become a sought after home and holiday destination. From the lakes to the beaches and national parks, we have a valuable resource around us that needs to be responsibly managed and maintained to allow for long term community use, passive recreation and peak tourism.
Please come and join us for a weekend of information, education and practical demonstrations of responsible building design, construction, land use management, permaculture, alternative therapies and passive recreation opportunities in our unique area. The weekend will include house tours, lectures and discussions on a variety of topics, yoga, belly dancing and art workshops, active events including guided kayak tours and bushwalks with national park rangers.
September 7 - 9th

Sad Day
I came home yesterday from work to find our lovely bunny Harry had got out of his cage. I searched everywhere with my DD - she eventually found him lying in dark in the bushes - dead. She was distraught - I wasn't much better. We got Harry about 2 years ago, a Dwarf Lop, he was very cute and the girls loved him. Our youngest wanted one for ages and after an horrific experience with her trying to get stitches out of her finger my DH promised her one. He had grown into such a lovely bunny.
We are all very sad today.
RIP Harry
