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!

This is..What I'm suprised I like....

This is ...WHat I'm suprised I like..... I'm not a big spender so when it comes to perfume I try to buy something on special. I never thought I would like this perfume, Britney Spears In Control, but I do...Yes I did say Britney Spears???
Quite a few times I've been complimented on my perfume and then asked what it is! I usually ignore the question because I don't want to tell anyone.......
But for some reason this one smells good on me????
To see who else is playing This is head over to Three Buttons and thanks to Earl and Cookie for this weeks theme....

It was a very hot day, I spent most of the day outside watching Mr S and my brother building a fence to keep the dogs in... The holes were dug and the water pipe was cut...THen that was repaired and the posts were cemented in and next weekend the colourbond sheets and gates will be done....

My eldest nephew came to visit for the day and spent alot of time on his motorbike riding around town. He also spent alot of time on the BMX.... I sent him home all dirty so I'm sure he had fun... :-)

This is... My Favourite Movie....

The answer to this question would be the same as Curlypops, but my second choice would be Ferris Buellers Day Off...

I have probably lost count of how many times I have seen this movie also! And its also very easy to remember the words..

I always wished my days of wagging school could have been this fun.....

There are alot of great movies from the 1980s that are classics, I just don't think they make memorable movies like this anymore!

"Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look once in a while, you could miss it"!

Classic Ferris Quote....

Thanks to Hokey for this weeks theme, and to see who else is playing check out Three buttons..

This is.....My reading..

Alright time to come clean.. I don't really read books! Many years ago when I caught public transport I read a lot of novels but now I get easily distracted and usually would only read the first few pages. But every day I get online to read the Herald Sun news! Does that count as reading???


Also ever since I started blogging a couple of weeks ago I find myself reading blogs for hours and I still haven't got to them all!


Mr S has a subscription to Caravan World. He is obsessed with buying a caravan when we retire and travel around Australia. I figure at the moment its cheaper to amuse him with the magazine subscription than purchasing a van!


I must admit though I always pick it up and flick through the pages and if a caravan stands out then I will read about its features etc. Very importantly I told him when we make that purchase the caravan will need a shower and toilet! I have spent a lot of time camping over the years and I decided I am too old to be getting up and walking in the dark to communal amenities anymore.


So this is a pic of the November 08 issue and it features the new Windsor Royale which has everything to make camping comfy! So if I wan tattslotto this is what I would like. The heading states fit for a king but I figure it would be fit for a queen too!

This Is......My Favourite Kitchen Gadget

This my Favourite Kitchen Gadget, Well maybe not really a gadget but I use this Sunbeam Electric Frypan most days... Because I live in a small town without any Gas, we only have an electric stove and oven.. Electric stove tops are quite difficult at times to regulate the heat so I pretty well just use the frypan.... And yes I am for real there is no gas in this town unless you get bottled gas???
Whilst looking through my cupboards I found what must become my favourite gadget.. Its a brand new mini food processor that I bought before I moved house. I didnt unpack it when I got it because I figured I would just have to repack it etc... Any Hoo now that I remembered I have it I shall unpack it and make some use of it, maybe by chopping some vegies to hide in my food? Just like Curly Pops does....

This is.......my favourite piece of furniture!!


Im joining in this weeks this is.....Its a 60s style dressing table that I bought a few years ago for $35 from an op shop... I fell in love with the coloured glass top and have moved a few times with it and had it in houses it didnt suit...Until now!! A few months ago I moved in to a 60s house and I was very happy to be able to show off the dressing table in the right house....
