Ten on tuesday….

Limping in with my ten today:

1. I mentioned yesterday that our dear friends from Africa were visiting just before new year. I shot a timer shot of us all. (camera balanced on top of the tv!). I have to giggle when i look at this picture. my youngest is for sure giving away the fact that i have just darted into the shot..no? heheh.

and i bet you try and count all those kids up you'll get a different number every time!!

ah..when you come to out house be prepared of the 'how many people can you fit on this couch' game. But their kids look remarkably cool being totally surrounded. love it.

2. Im not going to talk about sickness today. No. that is all i have to say about that.

3. I currently really like the Instagram iphone app. Although there are a few sneaky slr pictures that appear which i think is kinda missing the point really. I follow quite a few southern hemisphere folk and over new year it was really fun to see all their firework pics appear half way through our NYE. Especially the ones over the Sydney Opera house. How i would love so much to be there. Then of course there are all the blue sky, white sand, perfect beach…grumble grumble rubbishbritishweather…

4. I don't watch an lot of TV but we both watched the Bear Grylls adventures with the celebrities. Sorry but anyone think that Miranda got a tougher deal than Ross?…although that poo story and the wee wee hot water bottle might have seen me sleeping under the stars!

5. I have a wonderful friend trying to design me a new website for both my personal blog and my photography. I say trying, not because of any failing on his part but because of the appalling amateur client he has in me who asks daft questions and has muddled along so far without so much as understanding 'domain' and 'hosting.' Large case of beer headed his way just for being patient 🙂

6. One of my kids had a long-awaited sleepover at the start of the holidays. We reckon it might have been one of the worst nights sleep we have had in a long time….and we have BAD nights at the moment so thats really saying something.. was it the sleepover friend having nightmares and wanting to go home? NO-SIR, it was every single one of my own acting like a bunch of horses on a windy day….

7. Watching J4 play the other day and noticed her looking sternly at the teddy she had in her buggy for a few seconds then turn her head slightly and say 'oh..for goodness sake!'

8. Music? what would my ten be without a bit of a tune:

very melancholy song. i like it a lot. Also really like the way the video is shot. go have a listen

9. Have you met Siri yet?

10. Finishing today with our sweet 'just turned 6' miss. This is how she wears her glasses at the moment. Her sister sat on them and they have never really been the same….waiting on a new pair but in the meantime…
