Mt Barney Lodge has to be my favourite place to camp near Brisbane. It is right up the road from another campsite that I have previously written about (Flanagan Reserve) but apart from sharing geographical proximity, these two campsites are polar opposites. Mt Barney Lodge is extremely picturesque. From the impeccibly manicured lawns to the… Continue reading Mt Barney Lodge

Horn Island Communal email – My hot night on Horn
Last night, after a very uneventful week, Jacqui and I had decided to have a video night - which also promised to be uneventful. We hired "Mr Hollunds Opus" and got take-away pizza's from the Wongai Pub. Unfortunately, after the movie had finished, Jacqui and I became in extremely silly moods. We sat outside arguing over books of all things (I… Continue reading Horn Island Communal email – My hot night on Horn

Blogging before there were blogs
Tonight I realised with absolute amazement that I have always been a blogger! Even BEFORE blogs were around. Of course, in my day we called them diaries.... and then when the internet came along I called them 'communal emails'. But they were basically the same thing as a blog. A diary was a book which… Continue reading Blogging before there were blogs
My Epiphany – suitable for women to read only!!!
After a good 4 weeks of doing absolutely no exercise at all (not my fault - I blame the flu and Diddy being in hospital).... I bravely decided to go to the gym on Monday night for a body pump class. I chose body pump as it really doesn't involve a lot of aerobic activity,… Continue reading My Epiphany – suitable for women to read only!!!
Crazy Housewives Hit the Town
I have just had the most amazing night!!! Do you know that this was the FIRST time I have been out drinking and dancing since I had children?!?!? Yes!!! Since January 2003!!!Our night started out fairly tamely with a nice limo ride and champers around town. Apart from discussing our husbands vasectomies (or lack thereof)… Continue reading Crazy Housewives Hit the Town
What I think of Melbourne
Melbourne is amazing!! It is so beautiful and clean. The organisational skills of the melbornians are second to none. Everything around here seems to run like clockwork and is extremely efficient. At first, I couldn't understand the benefit of a tram over a bus, but over the past 24 hours I have come to love… Continue reading What I think of Melbourne
Diddy Update – mummy's pity party
Ok so the blog about funny stories never happened. I can't for the life if me remember what it was that I found funny... and certainly nothing lately has been funny!! WE ARE STILL IN HERE!!!!!! I think Diddy is going gung ho to be the holder of the 'longest stay in hospital after an… Continue reading Diddy Update – mummy's pity party
Diddy update – # who knows (8? 7?)
I am typing this on my phone so please forgive my terrible grammar and spelling errors. I have been driven to write this through sheer, mind blowing boredom. I have read every magazine available at the newsagent, played 164 games of solitare, am up to level 246 on block puzzle (i kid you not -… Continue reading Diddy update – # who knows (8? 7?)
