had it's day

I've persisted with Typepad for quite sometime now but somehow it always frustrates me.

It's one of the better "off the shelf" blog tools out there don't get me wrong but for my needs it isn't doing it for me anymore. I don't have the time for a start to be writing mega long posts everytime and I somehow feel like it takes me a long time to log in create a new post sort out images write what I want to write....it just takes a long time. Ok, it's not that long but when you're busy it is.

I've decided to start using tumblr for my blog and hopefully my other website info too eventually.

Tumblr is great. I love the ease of posting and the options and possibilities within it. It just seems to be what I need right now. Simple. The best thing about tumblr is that it's free whereas typepad costs a bit every month.

This blog here will remain for a while yet but I won't be updating it from now on so change your bookmarks/links if you want to keep in touch.

Thanks Typepad, you've been great but it's time to move on.

Pelicans are not the most graceful birds

especially when it comes to taking off and landing in the water!

They do however have amazing feathers, the strangest looking eye and an enormously long beak with a funny little hook on the end of it.

This is about the best shot I got of this little guy. He just would not stand still for a second. More on flickr.

loving the textures and patterns on birds & feathers at the moment.

Happy Day

to Australia and all her friends.

Donutwithsprinkles: A first taste

Poppy's first encounter with a donut encrusted in sprinkles.

The beauty in nature

My colours are pinks and oranges at the moment. Inspired by nature.

working with a pink horse, a camper van and a baby

Today I am realising how difficult it can be working from home with two children. Lexie is no problem to be fair apart from the fact that she is like a human dustbin at the moment and constantly wants food. Apart from at meal times.

Poppy on the other hand is bringing back a lot of memories of when Lexie was her age and I was trying to work from home. Nothing is safe. Nothing is sacred.

 

Everything is placed up high out of reach (well not everything).

 

I think she believes that my chair is some kind of toy to swing on preventing me from sitting down to actually get on with some work.

I put clothes out for Lexie to wear this morning. My aim was to get them both washed, dressed and ready before 9am. Lexie still isn't dressed and it's now almost lunch time. She decided to wear a mermaid outfit which she still has on minus the bottom half (the tail).

I was going to go out this morning to buy a couple of electrical plugs so that we can change a couple of our UK plugs to Australian ones but thought I might be better off asking Mark to do that on the way home because I'd only face whingeing and hassle going out for something so boring as plugs.

Lexie has adopted the placing things high out of reach mode and so now many of Lexie's toys have crept into the living room and have found homes on our new bookcase.

Poppy can still get to the toys....they're not high enough.

I have a new page on fb if you're interested.
