Last minute New Year thoughts

On the eve of the new year I have been think­ing. Maybe I should have one of those res­o­lu­tions peo­ple make. I have never really done that before. Not because I have some­thing against them, just seemed a bit of a waste of time. They are good because it gives you a chance to start […]

Fun for $1

Sparklers. That has been the nightly rit­ual these days. Mr.Blab came home with a pack of them one day and then the kids went wild and then of course he went and bought half the store stock. At least they are not expen­sive.

Merry Jumping Tipismas!

The tree back there

Our mul­berry tree has been giv­ing us fruits lately. And not only that. It seems to have grown Rosellas too:

We think they like the shade of it, as on hot days it looks like an over­booked par­rot hotel. We decided to be good hosts and give them a sprin­kling of water when we shower ourselves […]
