WHO'S BRILLIANT IDEA WAS IT ANYWAY???

A pom for everyday of the year of 2009 - crazy! But a promise is a promise, even if it was only a promise to myself :)

Maths is not my strongest point but I have calculated (took 3 goes at spelling that one! and spelling is my forte!!) that I am 23 poms in arrears - I plan to make up those this weekend along with a little teeny weeny tiny story on each. Starting with why I even have 23 poms for me to catch up! I received an email from "Sister Carol" asking for trillions of photos of our family since Allan and I were married and DON'T ASK WHY!!! So I asked WHY? and she continues to ignore my question!

I imagine all will be revealed, but in the meantime I had to source this trillion photos burn to DVD and post over - not enough she says, I need at least another million! I didn't even bother to ask "Why" this time, I'm just doing it!

I've always complained LONG AND LOUD as I usually do if I'm complaining - that there are never any photos of me, I'm always behind the camera - boo hoo poor me :) Well it was a bit of a revelation to find that there were in fact quite a few poms as I trundled through the photo files, photo files I might add that are very poorly labelled and filed, but it was fun to sort through them again.

So here we go with some poms, old and new...............and there are 38 OF THEM, that leaves me with 15 days credit, so I'm good until March 29


There is no rhyme or reason to the order, just a kaleidoscope of my life from age 1 I think!

A CATCHUP POM

Nan and little one all concentration at the computer!If he is anything like his cousins he will be pretty computer savvy by the time he's two!

BACK IN THE LAND OF BLOG!

....and a quick catch up of poms.
Here's the pom sipping on an ice cold pineapple juice.

But first a back up to our quick trip to Adelaide two weeks ago. Remember it was HOT HOT HOT? We were at a cafe on Hutt Street just around the corner from our motel, it was 7:45am and about 30ish degrees (in the shade which is where we were!). Decided on an early breakfast and then off to pick up our heating of all things - anyway it was quite delightful sitting under that shade of the trees waiting for our breakfast to arrive.............


Our breakfast arrived.............


As I was tucking in to my pancake I heard an expletive from Allan (fortunately under his breath!) and looked up to find him with a salt shaker in two pieces, one in each hand and LOTS OF SALT everywhere!!


How he managed to miss most of his plate is beyond me, but it covered the tablehis, feet and the pavement! :) The photos are a little blurry because of my uncontrollable laughter as I was holding the camera!

POM 27

Sharing a cocktail at Cowboy's 31st. Being a teetotaller it was only a sip, it was called Butterscotch Ripple and tasted quite delicious - not sure what alcohol it contained but Trying to determine what the cocktail contained - all I could come up with was...
Milk? Butterscotch? Ice? Not sure what the 'ripple' bit was - but thanks for the taste Marvin!

To get a nice pom with my husband...........................

Nope!
