Due to infected, raw gum around wisdom tooth, I have not been able to chew or eat anything acidic or spicy. In fact, mashed potato has been about it for the last 2 days. I had the last of the instant mash for birthday lunch. And a coffee machine coffee. Woo hoo!

After a week from wisdom tooth infection hell, this really cheered me up no end. Thanks guys!

Picked up the upside down tomato growing kit for $10 at the corrimal discount shop. Within 24 hours of planting the seedling, it had turned itself around and was growing upwards towards the light.
With this method, you water from a hole at the top of the bag of soil, straight to the roots. No need for weeding or staking the fruit, or bending over to tend and pick. But does it work? The experiment has begun, watch this space…

I had a few tomato plants self seed in the vegie patch and I’ve been staking and watering them for a while now.
They turned out to be quite a big plant, with fruit in clusters on the one truss. About a week ago the first one began to ripen and I put some shade cloth over it to keep the birds off it. Mission accomplished! Today I cut the first ripe truss off.
The vegie patch is doing pretty well. I’ve got sugarsnap peas starting to put on peas, and a few days ago I pulled the old beans out and replanted snowpea seedlings.

The headache returned on Saturday, along with a raging fever and horrid body aches and pains. Felt exhausted, like id been rolled over by a steamroller.
Thought I was coming down with flu. I got the Panadol into me and spent most of the day in bed. We watched Kenny on DVD, and just laughed and laughed. Felt better afterwards.
Sunday was not much better, but I figured out I had an infected gum around a wisdom tooth. Back of mouth red raw. Watched Evolution on DVD, love the bit when they shoot that mean flying dinosaur out of the shopping centre! Started some amtibiotics for the tooth/gums, fingers crossed it works.

I struggled with a headache all day Friday. At 2pm I gave up and came home. Lay down for a few hours. Yook some panadol. Then, a knock at the door and OMG! Look what I got delivered! Gorgeous.
And you know, I realised I’ve never had flowers delivered to my door before, another first – awwww!

No, it’s not Woodford or some other festival. It’s enrollment time at uni. I took this in the building where I have my office, fortunately I’m on the floor above.

1 baby, 1 toddler, 2 kids, 3 dogs, 8 adults and lots of food and drink. Had a ball!

Just back from kurt’s, the gift giving and show n tell from Ros and Kieren’s 3.5 week tour de Israel, Jordan and Egypt took the evening.
Great stuff, esp papyrus painting, limestone carving, and essential oil perfumes. My jade and amber necklace is lovely, but tonight it looks great on mischa!
As they unwrapped each item, I loved seeing Kieren get animated with the memories, and tell us the story of each one.
