- This. I won’t lie, there were tears.
- It’s hilarious, this week almost all my kids have come in with temporary tattoos over them. The kids constantly look at my tattoos, particularly the one on my ankle, and it seems to have inspired this latest temporary tattoo craze. It’s cute, they want to be like me!
- A lot of my parents have been commenting lately that my room looks great and that they like what I am doing. It’s so nice to hear! Seriously, these people are leaving their most precious things with me for like eight hours a day so if they are happy with the time I am spending with them, I am thrilled. I have spent a long time making our room look like a place that is filled with fun and creativity rather than the empty shell it previously was, and I’m pleased with how it is working. I suspect we’ll be moving onto fairy tales in the next week or so, there has been a lot of interest in dragons and princesses so we might get into that a bit more.
- Jesus tap dancing Christ, it’s fucking cold in Queensland at the moment. Like stupid cold. This morning at 7am I had to pour hot water on my windscreen to remove the layer of fucking ice. This can just fuck right off. It was less cold in Japan, I would actually prefer a Japanese winter day to the day we had today. This afternoon (much like heaps of other people) I went and bought some more winter clothes. When I came back to Australia I left a heap of winter clothes in Japan because I was so over being cold and only wanted to think about summer. That is all well and good but now, it’s winter, and I had like two jumpers. I went to KMart (I know right, Hey Big Spender!) and bought 4 jumpers, then bought a jacket at Target. I will be well sorted for the next while, I got a mix of daggy stuff and nice things so I am covered for all social occasions. It was funny to see how many people had a trolley loaded with blankets and/or a new heater at the shops this afternoon, obviously Queenslanders don’t do winter well.
- Miss Jones and I are having a “hot” weekend, starting tomorrow. This hotness will not involve any nakedness or questionable acts but it will involve blankets, heaters and tracky dacks. We are planning a big weekend of cracking the heater, piling on the blankets and simply enjoying being hot. My goal is to wake up sweating in the night! I love being hot, I’d take a perpetual summer any day!!
- I am going to sleep like nobody’s business tonight. Miss Jones is off seeing Pink tonight so I am slumming it at home with The Olds. I am obviously a Nanna because I am thrilled to be having a cup of tea before I hop into bed in a little while and read for a moment before going to sleep. Yay for sleeping, it really is the best.
You can borrow our doona if you want to wake up sweating. The bitch is THICK, and super synthetic, so leads to sweating even in the dead of the UK winter. It makes me sad.
You two are too cute for words.
Yay for the parents loving you, and your room! Woop!

Oh my god, I hear you about the shit morning temperatures. Queensland doesn’t even make clothes warm enough for this weather. I have been dressing like a hobo almost every day, a michelin hobo anyway, two hoodies, a beanie, a scarf, bed socks…
But hey at least it isn’t raining

Dude! Never pour hot water on your windscreen to melt the ice on it, there’s a high chance it’ll crack from the sudden change in temperature. Have you never had this happen in the kitchen before? My husband put a Pyrex dish fresh from the oven under the cold tap and it literally exploded in his hands. Instead use room temperature water. I know it’ll talk a little longer but you won’t have to replace your windscreen.

Sorry, ‘take’ a little longer, not talk a little longer
