On my Fridge...

On my fridge is some photos, some magnets, some business cards etc...

I have some kiddy magnets that have been on the fridge from when I lived with my sister and nephew( She kept the child and Freezer and I got the Cat and Fridge!)...

This magnet was a gift from CurlyPops to MrS... He hates Pork and Lamb and basically survives on chicken, I think it was a birthday gift!

This magnet says (A Kitchen Angel to watch over you), this was also a gift from my mum over ten years ago!

MrS and I went through a phase of collecting magnets from each city we visited, this one is from Sydney when his work paid for us to spend the weekend at the Hyatt next to the Harbour Bridge! It was a very beautiful hotel but we were like fish out of water....

This magnet although abit blurry is from lakes Entrance where we stayed via our Honeymoon camping trip! Note to anyone planning a honeymoon, go on the trip overseas, camping is not particularly romantic!

I also have some photos of my eldest nephew that came with the fridge, he was very young in the photos because he is turning ten in a week! Also is the same invite for another nephews birthday, Niko recently turned one!

On my fridge is hosted today by Amy at Badskirt!! With quite a few memes finishing I've been somewhat lost as what to post! Some days I don't have any crafty things happening so memes are great for me...

What to Write????

Well I feel abit lost tonight without THIS IS..... Sometimes its good to have a theme....
This is a picture of my trusty Vintage dog Sophie..... Shes 12..

Sophie spent most of today watching us taking out the old vegie garden from the backyard to make more space for the dogs to run around. Also today we tidied up the yard ready for the hot season......

By early evening the Chihuahua Mr Socket was asleep on our bed. Sophie was asleep on the couch and Shelby the Labrador was asleep in the loungeroom, obviously it was hard work watching all the gardening today.....

Hopefully they have a nice sleep ready for more excitement tomorrow...

Love Fridays..........................

This is my little Chef Pastry Brush! Today I have a few reasons to Love Friday:

#1. I got a job! After quite a while realaxing in the country I have a job back in the kitchen of an Aged Care Facility in Melbourne.

#2. Mr S and I have found a way to stay in Melbourne for work and still come home to the country house at weekends.

#3. Once I start work I will have more cash to seek out some treasures from the Ballarat Op Shops...

#4. Our 3 dogs will be able to stay with us in Melbourne and come back to the country on weekends too!!

#5. Mr S will start a new job at a Dealership in Melbourne in the next few weeks..

We originally moved to the country because Mr S had a new job working for a friend! Any hoo that didn't eventuate! Lesson is unfortunately never take people at their word....
After a few months of mayhem it looks like our life is finally going to get back to normal, thankfully...

I just remembered another reason!!! We just went to the Supermarket for shopping and found a Packet of Bertie Beetles, I'm enjoying one now!

For more Love Fridays tootle on over to Big Cat..

THIS IS...My favourite thing from Nature.........

Thiis is...My favourite thing from nature...... I took these photos 2 weeks ago from my front verandah! The photos don't really show just how red the sky was! It was amazing to look at!

Also two weeks ago Mr S and I went for a drive out bush between Clunes and Talbot on the 4WD tracks... I noticed this Echidna near the track. I took a few photos but it was hard to get a photo of the head because it was balled up in protection mode! It knew i was there... As soon as we slowly drove off the Echidna walked back in to the bush. Friday along the same track we saw 5 Wallabies and a baby Wallaby. (Overseas bloggers Wallabies are like smaller kangaroos!)

This weeks Theme came from Cloth and Fodder. Great theme, it finally gave me a reason to post these photos!

World Diabetes Day

Yesterday was World Diabetes Day, I am abit behind schedule but any hoo!

Click here http://worlddiabetesday.org/ to go to the website.

Some of the worlds biggest landmarks were lit up in blue to mark the day....

Most people assume Diabetes only occurs in the older population, but it is now believed to be the next epidemic for children and young people...
Check out the website so you are aware of the warning signs, for yourself or maybe you will notice the signs in someone you know!

*Excessive Thirst
*Frequent Urination
*Weight loss
*Lack of Energy

Diabetes in children and adolescent
Know the diabetes warning signs!
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases to affect children. It can strike children of any age, even toddlers and babies. If not detected early enough in a child, the disease can be fatal or result in serious brain damage. Yet diabetes in a child is often completely overlooked: it is often misdiagnosed as the flu or it is not diagnosed at all.
Every parent, school teacher, school nurse, doctor and anyone involved in the care of children should be familiar with the warning signs and alert to the diabetes threat.

Late Vintage Thingy Thursday....Love Fridays!!!!

I didn't post this yesterday. I spent the last few days gardening in very hot weather and ended up with a Cold??? Go figure, but feeling much better today! I posted this jam bowl, sugar bowl and milk jug last week. As you can see from the pics the jam bowl doesn't match the rest!

I stopped at Vinnies Op Shop in Ballarat on wednesday and found this Jam Bowl for $5.00.

When I got home Mr S pointed out the fact that the bowl matches the rest of the set!! Yipee!!!

How Freaky!?! Staring at the matching set makes me really Love a Friday!!

I stopped at another Op Shop today but my newest goodies are still in the car, I will get them out tomorrow and show what i found!!!

Vintage Thingy Thursday

Vintage Thingy Thursday...My favourite piece of furniture is my 60s Dressing Table that I found in an Op Shop many years ago for around $30.00.
I like the shape of the mirror and the blue coloured glass top!

I'm busy painting all the bedrooms at the moment so I won't be in blogland very much over the next few days, so if I haven't visited your blog I will be catching up again next week!
