Genevieve is getting to that delightful age where she is starting to parrot attractive-sounding words. So far this week she has come out with the following:
Grandad (pronounced 'dada')
Watch
Done!
Duck
And the absolute kicker:
EVIL.
Yeah, my kid is learning all of the important words early.

Kristie made me do it!
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favourite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.
John Metcalfe, writing in 1951 on libraries in relation to the jubilee of the Australian commonwealth, stated one of the major turning points in Australian library history: 'Since 1934 there has been a library renascence in Australian which is still going on. The Munn-Pitt report was published in 1935 and this has had such a bettering influence on library provision in Australia that librarians have talked of a new time reckoning'.
Tagged: Ben, Nikolai, Elli... dunno another two people with blogs, so there. :P

OMFG renovating is teh suck!
Yeah, I know. Nice title. :p
So far I have been without a proper kitchen with running water or stovetop for nine days. You heard right, ladies and gentlemen. Nine. Days.
My cooking area consists of the cruddy old cabinets from the now-demolished kitchen set up on the back deck with a microwave and electric wok to cook with. I never realised how handy the stove was until it was disconnected. Thank bloody goodness it's only five days until the new cabinets go in... there's only so much left-overs, fast food and crappy pasta a girl (and her husband and her daughter) can take before going something something.
