Any guesses what Caleb’s new interest is?

Yes, we have sweet corn growing in our back yard. And despite the temperatures rising to as high as 44.1, it’s doing really well. A couple of the plants are already knee high.

Also have some capsicum plants and one (out of six planted) bean plant. The cucumber plants all died within a couple days of planting. And there’s a couple new potato plants coming up as well.

And…somehow a peach seed managed to find fertile enough ground within a metre of my compost heap. So I’ve got the one I planted last autumn, and now another much smaller one. Go figure.

Day 5 and I’ve already got it. Pretty pathetic. I even had something great I thought of when I was at the shop across the road tonight, but can I remember it now? Of course not.

Ah well.

Meant to post yesterday but it got to 11:30 or something and Caleb was still awake, and so yeah, it just didn’t happen.

So I read a lot of blogs, and because of this, I have all the ones that use RSS (really simple syndication) come to me through a feed reader. And it really bugs me that certain ones only have a summary of whatever the new post is about (first few lines or whatever) rather than the entire post. The whole point of reading blogs in a feed reader is so you DON’T have to go to each web page individually.

Thought I’d give it another go this year. So here’s my first entry. Not much to say. See you again tomorrow!

That, or flying to New Zealand for the birth. Because no way am I going to go to hospital, and no way will any of the independent midwives I know just follow along like good little girls and work with a GP or obstetrician. That’s kinda the whole point of them being INDEPENDENT.

Yes, seriously.

What am I using instead? Just water and baking soda. And my hair is still clean! I’m never buying shampoo again.

Duplo. He’s really getting into building stuff with it (Nan’s house, Cranky the crane from Thomas & Friends, towers).

Some of the Thomas characters – the wooden railway ones. Bertie the bus, James, Gordon, Toby, Harvey, Salty. And there’s a Cranky the Crane at K-Mart that he really liked the look of too.

Will add to this list when I can think of other stuff.

Just noticed on our bank’s website that they’re actually REDUCING and REMOVING fees. I swear this is the first time I’ve ever heard of this happening.
