This little life of mine ...

Master 17 took me to task this week over my lack of "proper" posts in this blogging space of mine.

"But I've been putting up my photo a day posts" I defended weakly.

He just gave me the look … you know the one … the I expect better one, I didn't raise you like that one, the no effort is no reward one … aaahh … I've taught that boy well.

"It's just that there's nothing going on … nothing to write about … nothing to share."

"Mum" *long suffering sigh* "Mum, you used to write a post almost every day and they were never about anything!"

Right.

Point taken.

So here's a refreshing NEW post about nothing.

I spent a very constructive afternoon tidying and reorganising my linen press.


Look at it!!  It's a flaming work of art!!


I tried to flog Master 14's old bed off on Facebook … but didn't get any takers.  So it remains in situ … taking pride of place in my lounge room.


I'm considering surrounding it with a velvet rope and calling it a sculptural installation.

I shaved my legs!!


I'm yet to do anything about their lily whiteness.

"An apple a day keeps the Doctor away"  … or so I've been told.  So I painted two.


I didn't actually eat any … I was too full from the Snickers bar and the packet of Twisties.

Oh … and I remembered to feed and water the dog.


That's always helpful.

My Life By Me

My little life is boring
You must be glad it's mine.
There's ne'er a grand adventure
To take up all my time.
Each day is filled with this and that,
Miscellaneous, humdrum stuff.
I cannot speak of thrills and spills,
They don't happen … interestingly enough.
So I just plod on so tediously,
It's the same thing every day.
And the only thing surprising me,
I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Master Fourteen gets updated ...

I've been quite industrious lately … which is so out of character that I just don't know who I am anymore.

It all started when I came to the realisation that Master 14 was living in a bedroom that had not changed one iota in the last ten years … and what was more than acceptable as a 4 year old … was no longer quite so suitable as a 14 year old.

So a major revamp was called for.



It was time to say "goodbye" to the kiddy toys … "so long" to the car track mat … and "farewell" to the teddies.

Now is the time to embrace the teenage retreat.



Yet another sign of how time is passing by … quickly … oh so quickly!

Here's a shot I'm pretty certain I snapped of him earlier this week??!!??


*sigh*

But I did leave a sneaky teddy or two in there … you just never know when you may need a teddy.

Day 271:  The long road home.



Day 272:  MORE blossoms … I can't help it … spring keeps getting in my face.



Day 273:  This boy … in the evening light.



Day 274:  I may be unsophisticated … but tell me … is there anything better than a hot chip sandwich?



Day 275:  Just another glorious day in paradise.



Day 276:  I can see the man in the moon … can you?



Day 277:  This boy … in the afternoon sunshine.
