Two computers...two days

I must be cursed. Somehow I've managed to break two computers in two days.




First my old laptop wouldn't turn on yesterday, which wasn't too much of a surprise because it is really old and today my desktop refuses to turn on even with a new power board... ugh




What am I to do?? Download BlogPress for my iPhone and test it out that's what. Looks like I'll be relying on my iPhone for a while cause there's no place in our budget for new computers!

Hope your all having better days than me!

Forebear Friday

I came across these slides the other day whilst browsing through all the boxes on my ingenious slide viewer (ha ha). They're both of my Dad, the first one is when he was 23 taken in 1963.

The second is taken the year after, in 1964 at Bondi Beach, which is where he grew up.

Hope your all having a nice Friday.

My Creative Space...

Yesterday I needed to start looking through all these slides for a slide show I'm putting together so I did a google search on making a slide viewer I could use while sitting in front of the TV at night.

Here's the simple one I found, so I got an old box.

Cut a hole in the bottom for the torch to slip into.

Covered the inside with bright white cardboard (to reflect all the light from the torch).

Stuck the torch in.

All I had left to do was cut a panel out of the lid and stick in some foggy plastic of some sort to put the slide on.

I was just about to cut up an old milk container when Shane came out holding this...

Duh...why didn't I think of that? The torch app on my iPhone is perfect for the job. How silly do I feel?

Getting crafty in the kitchen

Well I haven't been being very crafty out of the kitchen so thought I'd show you what I cooked for dinner...yummy chicken paella.

Also showing you someone else's craftiness. Joe went to a party the other weekend and look at the cake that the birthday girl had! How cute. Mum (or Dad maybe?) made the base and they ordered the angry birds from overseas. The kids (and grown ups) loved it.

Hope you are all having a nice week. It's just awful what's happened in NZ isn't it.

Bush Walk

We spent the day down at Mum's yesterday and went for a lovely bush walk in between the rain.

Hope you all had a great Saturday
