This morning I was awake as Alice took Elsie to nursery.  When she got back she booked a massage for this morning.  Whilst she was out I washed all the baby stuff that Alice had saved.  I also emptied and cleaned her saucepan and Tupperware cupboard – very hot and sweaty work.  But I like… Continue reading Byron Bay – 3rd March

Up at the crack of dawn for me today or mid morning if you are Elsie, Alice and Jon!  I was Alice and Elsie’s chauffeur for the day!  First, we dropped Elsie at nursery and then we headed for the motorway to the Gold Coast.  Alice had an appointment with the doctor to check on… Continue reading Byron Bay – 2nd March

I can’t believe it is the first of March all ready.  Time seems to have flown by.  Anyway, this was the first day for Alice on maternity leave without Elsie.  After a late breakfast on my part I helped Alice get the house straight by doing the hoovering for her.  She also said she wanted… Continue reading Byron Bay – 1st March

This morning I thought I was going to get an easy morning while Alice took Elsie to football but it was cancelled!  Alice asked if I would drive them to a place called the farm so Elsie could see the pigs and play in the playground.  After a very quick shower we were off.  On… Continue reading Byron Bay – 29th February

So this morning I decided to get some physical stuff sorted.  The washing went on the line first.  Earlier in the week Elsie and I had taken most of Alice’s shoes out of the cupboard to try and find her flip flops.  I took all the shoes out to find those that didn’t fit her… Continue reading Byron Bay – 28th February

This was one of those days where I had nothing planned but had a nice day!  I helped Alice with Elsie’s bed, changing sheets and getting them in the wash and on the line. Jon was working so after their nap we went to a park I hadn’t been too.  Elsie loves the swings and… Continue reading Byron Bay – 27th February

A very lazy morning catching up on Eastenders which Alice had kindly saved for me to watch.  I was just getting to the last one when Jon came home for lunch!  I showered and went out to get ice cream and bread with Alice.  After the ice cream I went back out to get stamps,… Continue reading Byron Bay – 26th February

So my last morning here and I had to be up and out by 9:30 in order to check out and be on time for my airport pick up.  I managed to squash my stash and clothes into my suitcase and handbag.  I wondered if it was over weight still.  I had bought extra luggage… Continue reading Melbourne to Byron Bay – 25th February

I was tired and it has been a long week.  One day left and just two yarn shops left.  Both shops were what I called fiddly to get to with trams, trains and walks.  I left my room late as I had had a lazy morning packing some of my stuff and doing some blogging.… Continue reading Melbourne – 24th February – My Last Day Here

Well, they said it was going to be hot today but it was absolutely sweltering – when I walked outside it was like walking into a hairdryer on full blast!  The only other time I have ever felt wind that hot was in Durban.  I think it reached 34 degrees. So, with a bottle of… Continue reading Melbourne – 22nd February – Boroondara (Kew) Cemetery
