Nina - over & out

Well my friends, it is with great anticipation that I announce that the Kiwifruit season has begun!


Which means that:

if I don't write a blog for about 8 weeks

if you walk past me and I don't recognize you

if I seem to be drinking copious amounts of coffee

if I laugh at jokes that aren't funny

if I nod my head and say 'yes' or 'no' to a question that doesn't require a yes or no answer

if I stare into space like a zombie

if I bite my fingernails more than usual


IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE ALL I'VE BEEN DOING IS BREATHING, EATING, SLEEPING AND SEEING KIWI FRUIT ALL DAY

EVERY DAY

Unless it rains....

Pray for rain...


So this is Nina - over and out.

I heart...

Here are just a few things I'm loving at the moment...

Having my piano home! This little beauty I bought about 4 years ago for a meazly $400. And while I would have paid to watch the two guys try get it up the driveway, up the stairs and through a rather small sliding door again, I'm just glad it's back within my reach for a tu tu.

Watching my preggie friends grow bigger and bigger! Please note the difference in tummies. It goes like this (from left to right): Due now, due next month, due in two months, and not due at all!!! Women - you are true inspirations!

I love what I call the "Dr Seuss Trees" out the back. They remind me of the illustrations in his books.

Yummy hot banana puddings on a cold night! Real easy to make and healthy too! Cut bananas in half and then slice each half. Fry them in a non-stick pan, coating each side with honey and cinnamon. When brown, remove from heat and serve, with yoghurt and ice-cream. (if you don't have honey, brown sugar will do!)

Missed a spot...

You know you've missed a spot when....

You haven't taken old wallpaper off for a while, so it starts to do the job itself!!

You know you've missed a spot when....

Your sisters bedroom turns into a storage room for everything and she's only been away for a couple of weeks....

You know you've missed a spot when....

You haven't mowed the grass for a while and it starts expanding it's horizons and growing inside!!! (kitchen cupboard to be exact).

You know you've missed a spot when....

You removed the light shade's to paint the ceiling and after 2 months they haven't been returned (poor naked lightbulbs!)

You know you've missed a spot when....

An interesting peice of decor which should remain unseen is left in your living room for the world to see (thanks to one of Tim's 'creative' relatives!)

You know you've missed a spot when....

You began painting an undercoat on the wall and the paint can has now become part of the furniture!

You know you've missed a spot when.....

The previous occupants of the house still have their glow in the dark stars stuck to your bedroom ceiling!

Have you missed a spot lately? Do share.....
