Day 231- the garage

18 August 2012- squishing the contents of a 3 bedroom house into a 2 bedroom unit- a bit difficult. The garage is holding the overflow, with juuuust enough room for the car

Day 230- water

17 August 2012- I take a lot of photos of water glasses. I do appreciate the importance of proper hydration, having dehydrated myself a few times.

Day 229- Fail

16 August 2012- I appear to have no picture, so fail again! This is a photo of my grandad

15 August 2012- The Ekka is kind of like a State Fair- it started like as an agricultural fair (and still has a fair amount of that) and has rides and sideshows and showbags and food stalls. A picture of G at the place where we had lunch. Food options have improved considerably over the last decade.

Day 227- Sunset over Mt Coot-tha

14 August 2012- Waiting to be picked up from work, I could see these amazing colours!

Day 226- Teapot

13 August 2012- a teapot shaped like the leaning tower of Pisa?

Day 225- the empty room

12 August 2012 - All cleared out in anticipation for moving.

Day 224- Cupcake

11 August 2012- An initial attempt at passionfruit cupcakes

Day 223- The essential bucket

10 August 2012- This bucket usually holds soap, but here it has been filled with the bathroom essentials required while we are in moving phase

Day 222 Shells

9 August 2012- Somewhere along the line we acquired these shelves

Day 221- An empty glass

8 August 2012- A truly pessimistic view, or just the failure to find the water bottle?

Day 220- Fruit box day

7 August 2012- Fruit box day- we get a veg and fruit box delivered fortnightly, which means less decisions about to eat.

Day 219- flowers

6 August 2012- I love narcissus flowers- they smell so nice, and so fresh. But buld flowers are few and far between in Brisbane, it just doesn't get cold enough for them here...

Day 218- the mess

5 August 2012- the assorted debris of trying to pack up the house

Day 217- Breakfast

4 August 2012- We went out to breakfast with my sister and her husband. This cafe does very nice brekkie- this is sauteed mushrooms with a white wine sauce, scrambled eggs and pecorino. yum

Day 216- the present box

3 August 2012- Yes, we do buy presents early, but we aren't methodical. If we see something we like, or we think it would be a good present for someone, or its a good deal, we buy it. Sometimes they linger- there's a present in there for my stepbrother that we bought in 2010. Two years later he will finally receive it! Very useful in the face of unexpected gift occasions though!
