Just touching base with my space here. We are into the last week of our summer holidays and I am really feeling like I need some committment to get me back into some routine. I am the kind of person that can be very whimsical and spontaneous which often results in unplanned days and me being a little on edge because I didn't organize my day that well. It is also very hot and so the days are either indoors or at the local pool. How I would love to be beside the seaside......... Alas its off to the local pool whereby my 6yrold declared the water was too cold and refused to get in, mind you its 100 degrees! So after an hour of sunscreening,packing all the gear and sweltering in the car to get there we left, all very grumpy!
My craft blog is turning into late night ramblings... A promise to post some creations tomorrow. Meanwhile I will just drool over everyone elses.

2009 starts today
Im starting the new year today, a little late but today feels the first time we all feel well and we can all breath out again. We also got out the house and out of our country town for a day.
Today we jumped on trains and trams to head to Melbourne and St Kilda beach. It was an adventure especially when we had to track down a Thomas the tank backpack from the tram depot. Slight detour but nevertheless still fun for my wide-eyed country children.
Highlights for me were aboarding the carousel at Luna Park and watching Alister and Pearlies faces light up when the horses went up really high. I also love travel by tram, bumping along observing everything and getting nowhere very fast!
Best of all I had roughly an hour to knit on the train whilst my children were able to busy themselves (for once).
Today was a spirited day. It was great to soak up the atmosphere of Melbourne in holiday mode!
Pictures to post tomorrow
