Welcome to my home! This is the first thing you see as you walk into our home- everything! It’s not a very complex house, it’s very open plan.

Our pretty front door was picked up the wreckers. I love the colours. I will definitely try to put stained glass into the house we one day build. It’s lovely to see the sun shine through it and light up the house in blues and greens!

Seeing the house like this makes me think about ways that we could change it a bit so that you don’t see everything when you walk in straight away. If you’ve got suggestions, let me know…

Dont’ forget to play along over at Hello Owl!

This week for My Place and Yours Danielle’s asked us to think pink!

Here are the pink things around my house…

We don’t have HEAPS of pink, but when I started looking around I was amazed at how much more then these things there was! Considering it’s just me and Luke (and Pepper) I wouldn’t have thought we would have a huge amount of pink… I will admit though, I am quite partial to it!

What pink thinks do you have around your place?

So here’s a bit of tour of some of the new things in our garden!

Two types of lavender...

Lavender… one of my favourite smells…

Cute baby capsicum!

Capsicum… aren’t the cute?!

An itty, bitty watermellon!

Watermellon… Oh so tiny!

Cherry, Gormet, Yellow and Black Russian!

Many varieties of Tomato… These flowers will become little cherry tomatos!

The lemon (lemondae variety) is nearly ready to flower!

Lemon Tree… can’t wait to see what these flowers are like!

Zucchini flower... yum!

Zucchini… perfect for making lots of zucchini soup!

In fact, one could describe me as an ‘anti-people person’.

It’s not that I don’t like fixing problems or what not, I’m just not that good with people. I get grumpy and frustrated easily. So this is something that I’ve really had to work on and try to improve, and by goly, being nice to people works WONDERS!

So it has been my mission the last few days to be nice to people and not get frustrated with them. It’s hard sometimes, but I’m getting there! Of course, this is mostly relevant to work, but is sometimes related to at home and socializing!

In other news, my parentals and A-mon-o-me (Amon) came home from Myanmar, formally known as Burma. Click the links to learn more about it via Wikipedia, though it may romanticise it a bit… So here’s a little collage of the weekend…

1. The rose I picked from my parent's garden. 2. The new iron we bought. $100. 3. Luke playing the burmese harp my parents and Amon brought back from Myanmar. 4. The white gold and diamond bracelet my parents bought me from Myanmar as my graduation present. 5. Amon and Luke trying on Myanmarian clothes...

Of course, I also enjoyed taking lots of photos with Rachel, and catching up with Zoey and her family (including the always adorable Mayana!) randomly at M’ba.

Yay for home internet and administrator access on my own computer.

I have to ask the question though, why has EQ blocked simple sites that have clip art imges i can use for school, and NOT blocked facebook (am also grateful for this)???
