I've seen 2 video clips by Blue King Brown and thought they were cool.....and while blog surfing today I came across someone else that likes them and linked to their myspace and their web site ...I'm wanting to go to JB and have a look see for their cd... they are classed as 'soul/afro-beat'

Erics arm is broken AGAIN *sigh*...it's just a small break this time but so as to protect it... it's in a full cast... The doctors didn't want him to fall or bang it and then have to come in for and opperation to have it pinned... so its a 4 week wait now till we go back to the fracture clinic.. so he misses out on the last 2 games and round robin at footy...he's spewin'.

I'm thinking maybe his diet needs modifying ... adding more protein and calcium for his bones...??? He's had 3 broken arms in 4 years. !!

Here's my challenge for ' SYS'...cut your photo

Its of David on his 16th birthday with his new Bass Guitar & amp...and I stole one of his picks...

like a bat out of hell.......

thats what I'm listening to at the moment... while doing the washing....nice day today...bit chilly but sunny.....surfing some new blogs... that I've found through 'unconcious mutterings'

The kids went back to school today... Eric went off with his arm in plaster...not sure that he'll be able to do any writing ..the doctors bandaged/plastered half way down his fingers....crazy.. !!

a photo from 2005

Eric

Mark, Mark and Me

I hate this photo of me...lol.. ...the lady taking it couldn't figure out what button to press...and hence...I wasn't ready for the photo.....but it's with Mark and Mark.

The caravan Mark has been working on for David is now in the back yard...it went in quicker than what I'd imagined ....they only had to remove 2 of the plants from next door and one section of the fence....the rain held up them up a little.
This is it coming in to our back yard ...through out neighbours back yard..... Thanks T & L... the dirt patch...is from where a tin shed was sitting...the pavers from that will be used to make a path to the carvan from the back porch.



Found this on a blog ...thought I'd have a go... I love quizzy things..

arms and words

Eric has his arm in plaster till Wednesday due to hurting it at footy today.. he plays ruck..and he punched to ball....the first aide officer put ice on it and put it in a sling and we headed off to emergency... the xrays looked fine...but as it was swollen and sore when the doctor was moving it and pressing... he plastered it to be sure. ...poor ezza..

I've been doing some scrapping...which I will try and scan/photograph tomorrow and upload...

We went to see Mark Seymour yesterday..... took the 3 kids....and they loved it.

Wasn't too packed .... just nice...I took my cameras... the digi was shit for taking pics there...and have yet to put my film in, to get developed.

In between some songs...Mark has a bit of a chat...which is nice... anyways... he's chatting away and a woman on the table beside us.... yells out 'yeah...yeah...just shut up and keep singing'.... why do some people bother coming ....honestly !!!!

Then I'm moving around taking photos....and this woman right beside me yells out....'play patriot games'.....the look on Marks face.... ...he did not look impressed... I'm going....'it wasn't me ...it wasn't me'

It was a bloody good day anyway.....

these are some of the pics...that I took with my digi camera... and played around with them on photoshop...cos they were too crappy for anything else.

Dreams....

Had a weird dream just before I woke this morning.... I dreamt that Linda (my eldest sister) told me that Dad didn't really die 8 years ago... but died just a few days ago...
Odd that it is just after Mum has been gone a year... Could this mean that he's been reincarnated?.... I think I believe in reincarnation.... but at the same time....I like the thought of when we die...we are reunited with out loved ones that died before us...its a comforting thought.

Last night the boys... both stayed at mates places...and Em had 2 friends over...I think girls are a lot more work than boys...and NOISY omg....the giggling and squealing......

Tonight Mark was late getting home.....he'd been to work for a meeting..then called into his mum and dads...... little did I know he was bringing a surprise home.....

A new telly.... an LG 50 " plasma... now we need a new thingy to sit it on.
