Harveys At Home

Today, Owen and I have been in NSW for a whole year.
A whole year…..
12 months…
365 days…
Some days/weeks it feels like we have been here forever (well, for a long time anyway) and it really does feel like our home.  These are the good weeks.  The ones where preschool is good, the boys are [...]

Yesterday, a bunch of us braved the heat wave and took the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly.  Our little party consisted of: Michael, Lauren, Brett, Laura, Isabelle, Marc, Owen, Reuben and me.  We all made the trek in the 40 degree heat that was Saturday to spend the day at Manly, soaking up the [...]

That’s what I’m calling the ladies that I met at the library the other week.  Mainly because acquaintance sounds too formal, and friend is too familiar for only having been on one “date” so far :o)
Anyway, this morning I met my new people – Katrina and Laura – at Tunz of Fun in Castle Towers [...]

We decided to do a library trip today, as our stash needed returning and replenishing.  Marc decided that we should try one of the other libraries in our area.  Just for something different.
I’m so glad we did, for a few reasons.  The Castle Hill library has a much larger kids section than our local Rouse [...]

While Mum has been staying with us for two weeks as of today, she’s completed all her projects that she had hastily packed for her rushed flight down here.  And since there is only so much baking and cleaning and washing you can do while waiting for the baby to arrive she needed something to [...]

Today is Bathurst.  Well, the main race for the weekend anyway.  The one most people who are even slightly into V8 racing will probably be watching.
This time twelve months ago…
A few of the Big Boys all sat around at our place for the entire day, ate lots of junk food, drank beer and watched the [...]

Degress.  Celcius.  In mid September.
Listen to me Weather, it isn’t Summer yet.  I want Spring.  I like Spring.  A nice 27° would be a good start.
Play nicer tomorrow.
Thanks.

Been drinking too much water of late (yes, there is such a thing!).  So, I have started drinking soda water and red cordial.  It’s delicious and cold and [...]

Owen and I needed to go to Medicare and the post office this morning, so we went to Westpoint at Blacktown for something different.  Along the way we just happened to walk into Big W, where they have all their clothes on sale.  Already.  I don’t think these people realise that it’s still gets down [...]

Since my I whinged my way through that last post, I thought this one needed to be a little more on the positive side!
It has been a lovely day today with the sun shining for the whole day.  We have stayed home just doing “stuff”.  Nothing really important or impressive, just bits and pieces and [...]

We are down the down hill slope from now on :o)
29 weeks today, and our fastest visit to the antenatal clinic and the doctor ever!  Owen and I were in and out of there within 25 minutes.  I’m sorry to admit, that Blacktown Hospital leaves the RBH for dead when it comes to time/patient management [...]
