It's now Monday 24th May on the other side of the world so I'm 21 there too

good thing I was only a little bit worried - nothing happened Nick just asked for some time off at one company to do work for another company (he's a software consultant on lotus notes) and his boss said take today not tomorrow - so its all good.

About half an hour ago (or less) I called Nick on his mobile to make sure it was okay with him if my dad picked us up on his way through from work and take us to dinner instead of us walking to the resturaunt. Then like 5 minutes ago he calls and asks me if I'm going out this afternoon - I say no he says okay I'll be home in about 45minutes - I say okay I love you hang up and go to take the rubbish to the bin and as I'm bringing the bin in off the kerb it suddenly strikes me as odd that Ni...

My mum just called me - she didn't know whether to tell me last night when she called me or wait until tomorrow when it wasn't my birthday - but she didn't she called me today. My dad's cat Kiki Adele (it came to us 3rd hand with that name!) got hit by a car last night - apparently it was a hit and run. My dad's pretty upset. I'm not sure how the rest of the family or even I feel about this. (the cat dying not my dad being upset) Because none of actually liked kiki much - she used to f...

Today Elana had her second taste of solids - and she likes rice cereal about as much as I like zucchini. Yesterday we gave her 1 teaspoon of farex mixed with 2 teaspoons of milk from her bottle and nick fed her while i watched - man he face was so funny. She'd open her mouth and lean down over the spoon and screw up her face as soon as the spoon and taste was in her mouth she'd gum the mush and then open her mouth for the next spoon. So this morning I tried her on 2 teaspoons of farex w...

Happy Birthday to Me!!! (Monday 24th May) - I'm 21 today - it's weird and I don't feel any different but I have more stuff Yesterday we had friends over for lunch - Nick roasted 2 legs of lamb and made up some tabuli and hummus and cut up some salad vegies and fetta and olives and we had kababs - with lavash bread - it was soooo good!!! Then we had cake - from the Cheesecake shop - YUM!!!!! Mocha mud cake 3 layers filled with 2 layers of coffee flavoured cream and topped with 2cm thi...

I just found out they're repeating early episodes of Neighbours on channel 10 at 11:30am weekdays!!! Very exciting - not to mention the Blue Heelers repeats at 2pm and the Nanny repeats at 3pm.

Elana really did roll over yesterday - this morning I put her on her tummy and left her upstairs with Nick while I went and did some laundry I came back up and she was on her side staring up at him and then she just rolled over onto her back - so a few minutes later we put her back on her tummy and she did it again - she really did roll over !!!!!!!!!!!

Every second Saturday is market day at our house - we all get up nice and early and are out of the house by 6:30am This morning our walk was brisk because of the cold - Nick didn't think it was too bad I was frozen The Farmers Markets are held at a school that's about 5-10minutes walk from our house - so we did our first lap - where you check out what each store has and found that the mushroom man, spice lady, herb lady and the patisserie we buy breakfast from were all there today unlike t...

Actually I think it was just that her head was too heavy to hold her up when she rolled to her side - I wasn't watching. I put her on her tummy when Nick left this morning and I sat on the couch and I was reading something and I looked over at her because she just seemed quiet and she was on her back - I don't know how she did it and she won't do it again - so I think it was a fluke - but I was excited - I called Nick - he'd only been in the car 5minutes - outside Blockbuster in fact.

A friend gave us a crab rattle as part of a baby shower gift before Elana was born. It was a crab because one night when Nick and a bunch of friends were working on an assignment at the uni labs well into the night - Nick got a little tired and silly - he started walking (while sitting on a chair with wheels) like a crab. (on a side note - I wouldn't be surprised if Elana grows up to have an affinity with sea creatures - she has the crab rattle, the stuffed fish/turle/whale that hang over ...

I was feeding Elana this morning - as I tend to do everymorning and I was singing along to the radio - bad habit I know anyway I was singing along to Jewels - Hands and everytime I got to the chorus she would look up at me and smile then giggle and then full on laugh - she would smile through the verses and laugh for the chorus. I didn't think I was that bad - I mean I'm never going to audition for Australian Idol but I thought my singing was tolerable - especially when I'm alone. She...

I was thinking about Teegs eyebrow thing and Harold Holt was brought up - and I described him incorrectly - i said something about him being slightly balding and pudgy. In the photo I have in front of me from the March AWW he's quite slender - no skinny but you know muscular - and I couldnt see his hair it was under a snorkel - but his eyebrows are very non-distinct. So then I said I was thinking of a different Harold who drowned. Harold Bishop (Neighbours) back in like 1992 (???) went t...
