weekly stills [pudding, chimes & flowers]


A pretty eclectic roll-up for this weeks Stills. A bit of a dodgy collection perhaps. I haven't much thought to pick up the camera since our holiday.

[i] a new plate each from NZ. We also came home with a painted rock and a tea towel, that's all, I'm not into aquiring loads of souvenirs - just great memories!

[ii] wind chimes blow'n' in the breeze. It's been all wind and rain here lately! OK, a bit of sunshine too. Wild, crazy weather actually.

[iii] our neglected azaleas are going gang busters and the bees are deliriously happy. The bushes are literally buzzing!

[iv] a new clothes line 'cause the other one rusted through and fell over (hazard of living near the sea). I don't like my new clothesline very much. The old one had full sun and was enormous. We renters just have to suck it up sometimes! At least I have a clothesline right?

[v] tub tunes have been rocking out from the bathroom lately. I bought this set of bath whistles for Harry when he was about 3, all these years later and they still get played with!

[vi] a nice guy came home from the markets with flowers for me...much better than chocolates

[vii] you can't really tell by looking at this photo, but our garden has just experienced something of a chainsaw massacre (and it wasn't us). I'm confident those hibiscus bushes will recover one day!

[viii] ipading on a Sunday morning - and getting along fine and dandy

[ix] tapioca pudding...I've kind of got an obsession. I blame my sister who introduced me to Iku, although their pudding is made from sago. I only just found out tapioca and sago are two different things (yes, I sometimes have my head in the clouds).

[x] I'm washing and thoroughly drying out the snow gear so it can be stored away until next year

[xi] those ipaders again - they love building worlds in Minecraft - I don't get it! Just watching the screen over their shoulder makes me feel woosey!

Have a lovely week friends x

Hi Michelle, I would love the bath tunes and musical instrument, add some bubbles and a glass of champagne...couldn't be better hey! My yoghurt is great (actually the kids tell me it's great - I don't eat yoghurt). I use my "Thermomix" bowl which is an insulated heat or cold bowl for the yoghurt. Here's the post on that whole process.

The Bread Sticks are from "The Homemade Pantry" book (amazing) - see this post.

How fun, my kids would love a bath whistle... and one of my life long goals is to be able to order tapioca pudding from room service-- I've never had one that looked like the Iku kind, only the super creamy/milky American kind-- I'm excited to find out more!
