Reading?

Pip has been writing a bit about what she's been reading. And then I popped over to see Rach at Grandy and Baa, and she and Minnie have been reading Charlotte's Web. Everybody's doing it.

The Doctor and I have been reading Roald Dahl's 'The Minpins'. We're loving it (it's half read in one sitting), and I think it's one of the few stories by RD that I didn't read as a child. I was always a huge Roald Dahl fan and think I even cried when he died in 1991. I even remember we were on the school bus when the news broke.

Alexis at Knot Sew Crafty posted recently about Roald Dahl too. Made me think about how nice it would be to have my very own writing space, instead of sitting propped up on the couch, or stealing a slice of the kitchen table to shove my computer on, haphazard so I can punch out some words. Now wouldn't that be ace of base?

And see those dinos down the bottom? A gift from my friend Sal at Georgie Love. She sure knows how to make a small boy smile.

Happy Australia Day!

The Doctor woke at the crack of dawn, as only the Doctor would do, to tell us he was ready to go to the beach. And to get up. I bought another half an hour and then got up, fed the smalls and then finally sent the Doctor in to rustle up Matt.

We headed to the beach. With six billion other people. But it was ok. We had our own little spot on the sand and built our own Dino-world. The Doctor has been well and truly into trains right up until about NOW! And now he's starting to go dino mad. Which is seriously a blessing because there is only so much automotive joy I can muster.

This afternoon we've BBQed, eaten lamingtons, listened to Triple J's countdown. We've also hung out the washing. And made fresh beds. Cracking good day.

We also watched Perfume. Cracking good movie. Watched it?
