<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>This is our lovely fridge, nothing too exciting although I do like the glass doors and it's only a couple of years old.<br />
<br />
Anyways, a short time ago, this little white plastic thing broke off the bottom of one of the doors and without it, the door doesn't swing close very well and needs a bit of a nudge. <br />
Here it is here, see how small it is and how non descript it is...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8y3b03-onQXSs4DcOJZ2v4Pbe72ZIDx7Fio_qcd5MveVU_bqKZGjRMcuZCakEh1pxHRjFSSl2BY8xBbrIp2rs6UK3NhDDLge2ZAJNXCU9nMzAguGR7tgk2fgFMMgaOkiMJgxEvykDLvtQ/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8y3b03-onQXSs4DcOJZ2v4Pbe72ZIDx7Fio_qcd5MveVU_bqKZGjRMcuZCakEh1pxHRjFSSl2BY8xBbrIp2rs6UK3NhDDLge2ZAJNXCU9nMzAguGR7tgk2fgFMMgaOkiMJgxEvykDLvtQ/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
So I called the insurance people (thank goodness for extended warrantees!) and they sent a lovely man out who scratched his head a bit and ummed and ahhed and finally fixed it with a Westinghouse piece of non descript white plastic as an interim measure until he could get the right small non descript white plastic piece from the manufacturer of our fridge.<br />
<br />
So that sounds easy...but no, and this is where it gets silly. <br />
That small white non descript piece of white plastic that is probably worth about 20c (and I'm being generous) isn't available on it's own and they are shipping out a whole NEW door at a cost of $1500 plus shipping and I have no idea what it costs to fit the new door.<br />
<br />
I mean, seriously!!!! So ridiculous I just can't stand it. <br />
All covered by our insurance but what are we doing with our world, it makes me sad! Our perfectly fine fridge door will end up at the dump, all for the sake of a small white piece of plastic. Craziness :(<br />
<br />
Hope you are all well :)<br />
Have a happy day!<br />

to the fabulous <a href="http://chateaudelille.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2011-01-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B08%3A00&updated-max=2012-01-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B08%3A00&max-results=11">chateaudelille</a> who passed on this award, I was truly both thrilled and surprised (and possibly ovewhelmed a teensy bit) to be included in a list of such gorgeousness.<br />
<br />
With accepting this award, there are three rules ~<br />
1) Thank and link back to the person whom awarded you<br />
2) Share 7 things about yourself<br />
3) Award great <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">bloggers</span> that you've recently discovered<br />
4) Contact the above and tell them of the award<br />
<br />
So the 7 things I share about me are - <br />
<br />
<ul><li>I am an Early Childhood teacher (currently on leave) </li>
<li>I love lychees, seafood and really really good chocolate (but not all on the same plate!) but my guilty pleasure is hot chips eaten sans children!!</li>
<li>I love to cook and I read and collect cookbooks avidly the way some people read fiction novels, I love finding new recipes for gorgeous food and tweaking them to suit our tastes or coming up with my own ideas for fabulous food</li>
<li>but ....having said that, I will admit that I have been known at the end of a super busy day, to make bacon and eggs for dinner (oh the shame haha!)</li>
<li>there are rooms in my house I haven't blogged about because they are the rooms in my house where furniture goes to die</li>
<li>My favourite appliance is my KitchenAid mixer but I wish I had trusted my instincts and bought a white one (oh the regrets!)</li>
<li>I watch Escape to the Country every Friday and Sunday nights (but am really missing Catherine Gee!!)</li>
</ul>And the blogs that I'd like to honour - <br />

In fact, I'm sneaking in, very very quietly!!<br />
It's been soooo long. But I just found a few quiet minutes in this mad house this morning and thought I'd jump on and catch up on a few blogs and then I thought I'd better catch up on my own!!<br />
<br />
Still here, just been a bit busy is all, real life got in the way a bit, but it's all settling now as we're finding our feet in new routines and new rhythms! I have taken leave from work for a spell, our oldest daughter changed schools and with all the usual chaos and madness that comes with having four children and a busy lifestyle, blogging took a back seat!<br />
<br />
Hope you are all well, missed you very much!!<br />
<br />
Off to catch up on you all,<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Look at you all, you wonderful people, 1000's of you lining up to register and volunteer to help with the huge clean up. Although I don't live in Brisvegas anymore, I am so proud to say I come from Brisbane, we are of sturdy stock that's for sure but the best thing about us is that when the going gets tough, the tough get going and we all pitch in. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Seriously, my heart literally sang when I woke up to these images. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And when I heard the stories of people, literally strangers turning up in streets with utes and tools and saying "<em>hey, how can I help</em>"...or "<em>hey, I have an esky filled with cold water bottles and sandwiches, you don't have power, how about you sit down for a while with a cold bottle of h2o and a salad roll, and let me take over for a bit</em>"...well I could cry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Actually, maybe I did.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And here at home, (but hardly blog worthy), after sorting through with the children lots of toys and clothes and kitchen items to donate and boxing these up, I spent the afternoon in the laundry room (our first blue day for a long time) and recent events just brought home to me that I should never ever feel complacent or take for granted the days when I can put white sheets on my line under a blue sky.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
No pretty words either.<br />
<br />
Hardly any words at all really. <br />
What devastation SE Qld has seen.<br />
I just read now of a family who lost their four year old in the floods today and my heart breaks for them. I am so so sorry. Their grief, I can't even begin to imagine.<br />
<br />
And to Mother Nature or the gods or whoever it is who has some control over the weather, enough is enough. Please. No more. There has been enough heatbreak, enough despair, enough loss.<br />
It's enough.<br />
<br />
My thoughts to everyone in SE Qld, especially in Toowoomba and surrounds, Ipswich and Brisbane.<br />
<br />
Stay safe, keep your families safe.<br />
Nothing is more precious.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It's here, almost out of the blue (well the <strong>grey</strong> up here at least - it's raining <em>again</em>!).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Thoughts to all those experiencing the flooding and isolation here in Queensland and I hope the sun shines for you very soon x and you find the relief you need so very much)</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We've had the usual flurry that seems to happen at this time of year with family and friends so my poor blog has been sadly neglected (and may yet still be until school goes back) and I know it's customary to do the resolutions thing (but what's the point! I'd love to say I'm going to eat less and exercise more, but I'd be wasting precious time and space!) but what I do want to do is to say thanks for the warm welcome to bloggy land.</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I had lurked for a while on many many blogs before starting my own modest attempt in August and it wasn't until somebody posted that their copy of Coastal Living had arrived that I knew I had found my people! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I don't know anyone who buys this magazine. Not a soul. In fact for a while there, I was the only one the local newsagency ordered this in for, but he tells me now he sells four copies a month at least (so maybe we should start a reading group or something my anonymous buddies!).</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">This is the first copy I ever bought waaaaay back in 1997 - yes, <em>I know</em>!. I still have it and it came to the surface in a brief but <em>it's the new year, quick, clean up </em> frenzied tidy up.<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It cost $US 3.95 and according to the cover, I paid $AU8 which I think was quite a fair sum for a magazine back then!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> It's the Christmas issue, 1997 and I bought it on a whim because I liked these pages.

The oldest one was the time he made fried rice to impress me with his culinary skill (we were newly dating) and he didn't know you had to boil the rice first. That was 20 years ago and we still trot out that story every now and again!</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">And then most recently, he bought a magnificent ham for his staff for their Christmas lunch do (which in a rush he had to grab from our garage fridge in the dark early in the morning and pop into a cooler bag). So then with much fanfare and <em>to-do</em> many hours later, he lifted off the lid (and from what I have since heard, with a bit of a flourish) of the cooler (a la Basil Fawlty and the famous duck) ...to reveal....2 X 3 litre bottles of milk still in their Woolies bag - he'd grabbed the wrong bag out of the fridge in the darkness of our garage!</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>What is your proudest moment of being a parent?</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Oh too many, but for me it's seeing my big teen boy take the hand of my littlest one to help with some stairs or when my tween teaches the preschooler a dance routine and they are both laughing, these moments, they warm my heart. I love being a Mum and even though it's very busy with four, it also feels very right.</span></strong><br />

<br />
<br />
Anyway, I wanted to jump on quickly because I bought these little led and pearl fairy lights at Woolies (who would have thought!) and I just love them and thought someone else might want to duck in and grab some too - they were $7.99 a string and they take 3AA batteries - I bought 4 strings and this one is in my bowl - I was thinking along the lines of some sort of centrepiece for Christmas Day maybe, I'll have to have a proper play with them when things settle down a bit!<br />

It's beginning to look like Christmas around here - my girls love these reindeer, they take them off the table to play with them all the time - one is the "mummy" and one is the "baby" - just really too cute to watch them!<br />

Sauce? Semi dry?<br />
<br />
We have more cherry tomatoes than we know what to do with now and they are so very sweet and so very delish. I'm googling this morning though looking for recipes to use some up, I think I might try my hand at relish - any pointers?!?<br />
<br />
You know, I am seriously amazed that in this soil (that is more sand than dirt) and that still coughs up the odd brick or broken roof tile every now and again, that we can grow such lusciousness - ha, is that even a word? I'm really loving it, the kids love it and I love that we can walk outside and ta da - a salad in about five minutes. It's all tucked away behind one side of the house that otherwise would probably not have seen much use anyway.<br />
We pick at least this many everyday, sometimes more even.<br />

Since I found those oars, I do try to stop in at the Salvos and the like every now and again, not as often as I'd like to be honest, (the shopping gene seems to have skipped a generation when it comes to my girls) but we did find these last week :)<br />
<br />
<ul><li>the fish blackboard - $1</li>
<li>the white table - $4 (!!!)</li>
<li>the shells were $1 for the lot (I'm going to hang them from the tree)</li>
<li>and the shell/pearl tree was $4</li>
</ul>Best ten bucks I've spent in ages!<br />

Thanks so much for all your lovely comments, I really do appreciate each and every one of them. I don't always get to reply because I am so time poor these days (four kids does that to you!) but please know that I am very grateful that anyone takes a minute out of their probably also very busy day to leave a comment!<br />
<br />
You'll be happy to know that the trunk is still here in the family room and although Husband's initial comment on seeing it was "<em>how long is that staying there</em>", it looks so at home in here now and I love it! It would look great with a driftwood star or two ha ha but let's not go there, what a disaster that was!! I have a new project in mind now (thanks Felicity for the idea!) but I'll wait until it's fait accompli before I blog about it (learnt my lesson there!!).<br />
I want to move the chiffonier in too but I just don't know where to put it - I'm running out of walls to put it against - still looking.<br />
<br />
It's such a beautiful day here, with my favourite shades of blue in the sky. I've got my white sheets on the line and they look just so fresh, so crisply white and summery out there I wanted to take a photo*! <br />
<br />
Here's a photo of the sky instead (taken five minutes ago, I love the sky here, must be something to do with the ocean reflecting, or is that vice versa?!?)<br />

But it's been playing on my mind, so here it is for now, right smack bang in the middle of the room.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawA21nUZVEBManM7hfdi6P1z0WRrEtI3F6qgaghb8FslU71uoTPVSrOUSlmnyPkUx70iKq58QxE6MGgIMf-u41IO9mwSmTgipBSHU-POzHJZSZTPiUIuKwMQVAX0ldErlDXtDdkDgepUV/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawA21nUZVEBManM7hfdi6P1z0WRrEtI3F6qgaghb8FslU71uoTPVSrOUSlmnyPkUx70iKq58QxE6MGgIMf-u41IO9mwSmTgipBSHU-POzHJZSZTPiUIuKwMQVAX0ldErlDXtDdkDgepUV/s320/003.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

And looking at that photo again, I think the white table actually looks nicer, but I just can't put this trunk back in the garage!! Maybe upstairs would better?<br />
The girls are watching Playschool so I've got half an hour up my sleeve to play with it!!<br />
Have a great day x<br />

They are travertine and we extended them through the alfresco (what a posh sounding name for what is essentially just an outdoor dining area!) through to the pool and even used them as the edge around the pool (with a bit of a sand to take the hard sharp edge off) , which makes the pool a bit different in that it doesn't have the traditional bull nosed tile, and we hope gives it more of a modern look. Maybe lol. <br />
But I do love them, I love their natural look and texture, but I mostly love how soft they feel under bare feet, if it's possible for a tile to feel <em>soft</em>, but they do.<br />
<br />
I love sitting out here in the very early morning. You can hear the surf softly and it's a great place to start my day with a quiet coffee (or two if I'm lucky) before the family descends and the usual morning mayhem begins!<br />

It's still October!<br />
<br />
Yes, I know it is, I know, I know, I know! <br />
But I bought some decorations this past week (thanks to the lovely Mel) and I stashed them under the stairs. But then I brought them out to show my daughter and then they just sort of stayed out (too pretty to put away in the dark lol) and then I bought a Christmas tree yesterday -( <em>just a little one mind, even I know it's too early to get the "big one" up)</em> - and then I thought I'd better put said tree together to make sure I liked it, and well then.......<br />

Thanks for your thoughts on my oars, I took it all on board (haha) and they are staying as they are in their lovely weathered look - and I even found a print this week to match with them perfectly. Thanks for commenting - I really did appreciate your thoughts - x<br />

I don't mind a bit of rain normally, but this, this is crazy. Please stop. Soon.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to these :D<br />
<br />
There's a beautiful homewares shop here in Noosa that has these sets of gorgeous vintage Noosa River oars mounted on the wall (some painted white, some a la natural) and I had lusted after them for so long but knew I would have trouble justifying their purchase to husband, so I just coveted them in wishful longing silence . <br />
<br />
Anyways, to cut a long story short, I was dropping some old clothes and books off to the Salvos a few months ago....and could hardly believe my eyes - <em>oars,</em> beautiful, gorgeous vintage oars that the guy who helped me carry them out told me came from an old shed on the Noosa river that was being pulled down. They'd just come in that morning. And the grand price for these beauties - $15 - *gasp* - and that was for the set!<br />
I could hardly get them in my car fast enough lol. <br />
<br />
I was intending to paint them white (mainly because nearly everything downstairs here is white and a lot of oars I have seen have been painted white and they look stunning) and mount them on the wall, but still can't decide - they are old and original and I sort of want to do the right thing by them if you know what I mean and maybe painting them white would be taking something away from them.<br />
Here they are - <br />
