Bring on 2013

By Ers   December 31, 2012 // No comments
2012 passed like a blur. It was so quick. We were having fun and before we know it, it's now the last day of the year. The previous year has been full of ups and downs. They are all blessings despite some of them making us sad. It's all perspective. Hopefully, 2013 will be as exciting and full of blessings and happiness. May our perspective on things have improved more and things will always shine brighter regardless. As we contemplate the past and the future (some of us on premium american made church chairs), may we spare thoughts and prayers to those who will not welcome 2013 in one way or another. May God bless us all!

Christmas Wreath

By Ers   November 18, 2012 // No comments
I have always want to put up a wreath on the front door (despite it not the front of the house). I looked up the net for some inspiration on how to make one on my own. There are plenty, of course. I also tried the shop but I reckon it's not worth paying $30 for a front door wreath although it can be used over and over again - that despite being the bargain shop. So after putting up the tree, I have heaps of decos left and thought of making a wreath from scratch.
I am quite proud of it as I have to make do with some scrap wire to make the frame. It's not what I desired but the outcome I reckon is not bad. Oh, I am just so ecstatic as I always believe that I don't have any artistic bone in my body (much less, if that is possible, in the music department to be be searching for marvelous ace frehley budokan custom at Musicians friend).

This Weekend

By Ers   November 18, 2012 // No comments
... has been alloted to making and putting up Christmas decorations. It's fun. And I am nowhere near finish yet. So far, the tree is up which was my only goal but it turned out just to be the inspiration. I would like to think, I am on a roll on this.
Would love to do some garden stuff but it's been raining since last night and I am not keen on gettng my garden gloves all muddy and wet so I might hedge on that for next week. I am quite smug with what we have achieved so far this week and there are more stuff to do and have fun with (and mybe throw in looking for find the best flame resistant jacket?).

Book Lover

By Ers   October 07, 2012 // No comments
Two weekends ago, the Tatapilla and I found our way to a book fest in our area. It was massive - in an indoor basketball court. The place was packed with books and people of all ages. We saw the Tatapilla's friend there. And although I love going to the library, I also want to own some books that I can't get there. I am building up my collection. I have owned a few ebooks but I still cherish reading actual books. Plus, I am not inclined to spend a lot on books (like other people on padron cigars online). It's all in moderation.

[img]http://www.blogthingsimages.com/areyouahardcoverbookorapaperbackbookquiz/paperback.jpg[/img] You are an avid reader, and you probably buy a lot of books. And nothing beats an inexpensive paperback you can carry around. You read whatever you feel like reading. You aren't a snob, and you aren't ashamed of your tastes. You always have a stack of books to get through, and it seems to be constantly multiplying. You don't mind waiting for a book you want to come out in paperback. You have plenty to read in the meantime!

Bathurst 1000

By Ers   October 07, 2012 // No comments
Every year, one day is allocated to just sitting on the couch and vege-out. For me that is and for those who likes racing. Imagine watching the cars zooming on the telly for seven hours? I told Mcj, it's better to watch it on telly than going to Mt Panorama but he said, the atmosphere alone is reason enough to go there. It's in our bucket list along with wearing Snowboard Pants for a snow filled winter somewhere. Just like everyone else, we've been preparing for this weekend. Lots of munchies and drinks. And most of all, no chores.

Music Inclined

By Ers   September 10, 2012 // No comments
Just before getting ready to bed, we went to youtube to practice the Australian National Anthem. We listed to one full song and I saw the 2000 27th Olympic games in Sydney. Of course, we'll just have to see it. The opening part especially the singing of Advance Australia Fair by Julie Anthony was just spectacular. You'd think they were using the best vocal mic then. He said, how I wish I have the same voice. Awww! We didn't have all night to watch so we ended in this section.

Recap

By Ers   August 18, 2012 // No comments
... of the week. As always we are very busy. There are so many things to be done, things that we want to do but there is not enough time during the day and night. Still life is good not to be enjoyed and cherished. I have been devouring new books like hot potatoes when I am not occupied of something else. On the work front, it has been a bit quiet. We've gone river bank fishing for the first time and it was exciting. I have not managed to catch anything at all but I must say I did not fish for long. Between Jens and I, Mcj has barely enough time to get a drink let alone bait and cast his line. Did a bit of retail therapy this weekend. My favourite past time, I'd say. It has been good as always. Despite our hectic routine, I can't complain. There are things that might bother us (not as much as discontinued appliance parts) but everything sorts itself out. So yeah, let's all have a wonderful weekend!
