Picture This.


I'm linking up with Edenland again this week.


"You want to share some of your photo favourite photos lately?"


Why yes, I think I do.


Although I was miserable this week without my voice and without the usual contact of friends. There were a few giggles. Like these:


I don't know why, "Baby on Board" car thingy's get up my bum, but when they say "Baby in board" they make me giggle.




When I was miserable about losing my voice and sitting in silence, Ms 11 made this on her plate with the sauce bottle. Ms 11 will one day stand at the top of a tall building, convincing someone not to jump. She's that person.




After I wrote a post about the beagle and her eating habits, and Ferrero Rochers and my eating habits, the beagle got all ironic on me and ate the rest of the box of Ferrero Rochers that I'd started. True story. I found her in the bathtub, having a drink. I imagine all that chocolate made her a bit thirsty. This is the beagle making an exit when she realized I'd caught her.




Tomatoes from the market, which are now bubbling away on the stove in their new role of tomato sauce.





This piece of artwork that arrived from Australia. I love this artist. The excitement that came as G was unrolling the canvas was like Christmas.


The fourth little traveler wanted a photo of him and I being crazy. Somehow I ended up looking crazy while he just looked cute?



And finally, this morning I drove the second little traveler to a birthday party that involved going off road. As I drove over the rubble with my boobs giggling up and down and our teeth rattling, she said through fits of giggles "Maya is so lucky to live down here, I bet this is her favourite bit of the ride home from school". 


Sometimes we need to see the world through the eyes of a nine year old.






My voice is back. I've been to a party. It's a new week. And after blogging every day, writing two articles and finishing a chapter of the book I've realized that maybe I needed to lose my voice to discover a few things.

  1. Wow....I think I need to lose my voice too.

    I agree, we need to see the world through children's eyes a lot more.

  2. Hmmmm - I can't roll my tongue. Genetics!

    And yes, it's wonderful seeing the world through a child's eye ... or in my case twin childs. LOL!

    After going to Disney World as often as we have, a lot of the excitement had gone. Now, when I am there with Mr 2.5a and Mr. 2.5b - and see their excitement .... priceless!

  5. Never could do any of those tongue thingies.  Cool.    That streetscape looks hot and glary.    Any Dust or sand?   Also, just to rub it in... can you tell us what price diesel and petrol is where you are. 

    nice blog too.

  6. LOL!  To Lydia, it costs me about QAR70 to fill up my Land Rover - a pretty big car.  That equates to a bit less than $20 US, about $18 AUS or 13 British Sterling.  My brother lives in the UK and it costs him 110 Pounds to fill his car!

    1. Thanks Virginia. Bloody hell about those fuel prices. the UK is more expensive than here. It costs me more for fuel than it did for the hire car on my last trip. Would you fill up and go for a long weekend road trip for me please?

      Our car holds about 60 /65 litres and that's $85 at current prices.

    Yep, we certainly do need a child's perspective sometimes. And how wonderful that Miss 11 is so empathic.

  8. Oh your voice is back! So happy for you, though I suspect your family mightn't be as ecstatic? ;) I liked the boob jiggling story. Wobbly bits never lose their humour factor.

  9. Goddamnit you are beautiful. Inside, as well as out. Love the tomato sauce expressionism, your new, artwork, the thirsty dog, and the jiggling boobies.

    XXXXX
