Attack of the giant chip

Garry was getting dinner ready this evening and when he opened the frozen chip packet we found this, I just have to say that must have been one massive potato.

 

Friday Night Music – ‘That’ Beep Architecture In Helsinki

Friday Night Music – ‘Blood’ The Middle East

such a beautiful yet sad song.

older brother, restless soul, lie down
lie for a while with your ear against the earth
and you’ll hear your sister sleep talking
say “your hair is long but not long enough to reach
home to me
but your beard
someday might be”

and she’ll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
and beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
she’ll lay it aside

older father, weary soul, you’ll drive
back to the home you made on the mountainside
with that ugly, terrible thing
those papers for divorce
and a lonely ring
a lonely ring
sit on your porch
and pluck your strings

and you’ll find somebody you can blame
and you’ll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
and you’ll find the peace of the Lord.

grandfather, gentle soul, you’ll fly
over your life once more before you die
since our grandma passed away
you’ve waited for forever and a day
just to die
and someday soon
you will die

it was the only woman you ever loved
that got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
and the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
and there’s nothing you can do about it now

could you help me out with some shop research?

I am thinking about making some of my photos into postcards to sell in my store, but I only want to do it if there is going to be interest as there is some cost involved in getting them printed out. If you could select any of the photos you would buy as a postcard or card that would be wonderful, and if you don’t think you would ever buy one then please select the not interested option as I would like to know about that too.

You can see the photos over in my Etsy Shop Photography by Natasha

Thankyou in advance.

Relaunching my Etsy store

I also just updated my 101 things list, its going alot better then I thought lol, some things are still a bit behind though.

More car photos

we had the car taken away today so we managed to get some more photos from a different angle. It was rather sickening to see it smashed up the way it was and I keep thinking how lucky we were to get out of it with what little injuries we have, it could have been much worse, and I am so thankful the kids weren’t in the car with us when it happened.

Car Meets Ditch

We had to go into Lismore today, but we didn’t quite make it, infact we got about halfway down our road when I hit some gravel, slid, had the breaks lock up, then we rolled into a ditch, lets just say I wont be going on any rollercoasters anytime soon cause I don’t want to be hangging upside down again for a while.

Thankfully the kids were at school and it was just Garry and I in the car, Garry barely has a scratch on him, I hit my head, have a sore neck and my knees are grazed, but no blood, broken bones or worse, so we were very lucky.

Jasmine

one of my favourite things when we lived in Victoria Point was the lovely smell of the star jasmine that was growing over the fence, you couldn’t really smell it during the day, but as soon as the sun began going down the smell was so strong you could smell it from inside the house. So can you imagine my excitement earlier this week when I finally emerged from my room after spending thew weekend in bed with the flu (oink oink) only to discover that growing amongst the grapevine next to the vegi patch is some jasmine and the warm weather we have been having has made it start to flower, and boy does it smell pretty.

Changes in plans

in the begining of March we had looked at a house in a little town called Wellington (its near Dubbo). We liked the place, we offered a price, and they accepted, but we were told that exchanging of contracts would have to wait two weeks due to the sellers waiting on some  finance for the place they were buying. 

That was fine with us, so it was all going well. Then when that two weeks was up, it was another two weeks, and another. We were told last week that we would be exchanging contacts at the begining of this week only to be told on Monday that it would be another two weeks.

Now this wouldn’t be a problem except for the fact that the lease on the place we are currently in finishes next week, and the owner is moving back to the area so we won’t be able to extend it until we would be able to move into the house.

So we decided that we would have to back out of the sale, we called our real estate agent and explained what had happened and that we would need a new rental property to stay in, and thankfully they are really great and we got to look at a place on Tuesday. We signed the lease aggreement yesterday afternoon and picked up the keys today. 

There are some pictures of our new house on my flickr account (we will be moving in over the coming week, officially on Friday, but we are taking stuff over in the car before then).

And this morning the boys got to march in the Anzac Day parade with their school. They were very well behaved and dispite the warm weather there wasn’t too much whinging about being hot (I saw one girl from another school be sick and a few people fainted).

Rain Rain Go Way + Friday Night Music

wow, talk about wet weather, since last saturday we have had pretty much non stop rain, each day the creek at the end of our road has risen to the point of us worrying about getting stranded, but then it will fall again, only to go back up the next day, and we are ment to have more rain for the next week. It is seriously insane.

Oh and this is the song I am listening to right now.
