jane and i went out for a wedding anniversary meal yesterday and it was jolly good.  it was a bit presumptuous as it’s not our wedding anniversary for a few days, but i recon we can make it !

hassock of the week

080302-090125_350d_img_3902.jpg

i told you i found a really rich seam of hassocks at our friends church a fortnight ago.  here’s a great example.  it’s seemingly an exploding angel.

notice parking

i like noticing things.  i like it when notices tell you to notice them.  they might sound desperate, but it’s what they are there for.

sunny upstairs only

i liked hot the sun was at second floor level only.  that’s probably why these houses are triple story rather than the usual two.

esther went out in search of the barbie head yesterday evening with my camera and came back with these fantastic shots of barbie emerging from the ice.  she was very pleased.  and so was esther

when we got back later in the evening we tracked her down again and her whole head was revealed, although her hair was still trapped below.  this picture was taken by torchlight

and it turns out it’s a very special time for barbie at the moment


off to school

we ended up with a really elaborate organisational scheme yesterday as jane had to leave for her school before the girls knew whether their school was going to be open.  all was well in the end as i was able to work from home.  it’s these little moments of domestic unpredictability which make life such fun
