a shambles...

Warning, this post will be very disjointed. It's 1:35am on Thursday (yep, you read correctly AM), I've just finished an essay and I need to wind down before hitting the sack. It's been over a week since I last posted and needless to say, this week has been a doozey. I'm really struggling to get uni work done with my gorgeous red-nut friend hanging off me 24/7 and so I've resorted to "all-nighters". 
My aunty has the biggest heart known to man, and never visits empty handed. Knowing I'm struggling with the little guy, she brought over about 4kms of plastic train tracks she found on the curb (TWO massive tubs), and although it has kept him busy, my house resembles the Trans-Siberian Express.
…..I digress

Last weekend, my cousin Matt organised a fantastic Family Reunion at Port Hacking. There was paddle boarding, watersides, cricket, fishing, swimming and plenty of food, drink and laughter. It's always a treat to see the rellies. 


Sunday night saw us all fight for "The King of Muscles" title.

Henry won…

But since the we've been enjoying a  more crafty existence:

(the movie maker)


oh…and the rail (part of it anyway, the other 4 kms are down the hall in into the kitchen)


Righto, It's clocked over 2am, I'm out of here.
I told you it would be a shambles post!
Lights out.

    Oh dear lord, we have the same track. It one of those rainy day things we take out and promptly put it back when we are finished otherwise it runs the length of our house. You have your plate full, hope things get a little easier for you. If I lived closer I would love Bear to come and hang out with George and I. Take care xo
