Twitter helps me keep track of what to blog but at the same time it causes me to be lazy. So much for wanting to blog about what happened in September, October, November and December 2011 before the year ended…
Anyway, for family and friends who have not given up on coming here, I apologise for the lack of updates apart from the weekly twitter digest (which was set up to be published automatically, I didn’t even need to log into my WP!). I use Facebook and Twitter to keep in touch but sometimes I have more than 2 sentences to say about something, so I like the option/freedom to continue here. Then I’d procrastinate and forget what it was that I had more than 2 sentences to say about.
This year is going to be interesting.
I can’t share the exact details yet but this much I can say…I’m stressing about where to find the time to do it all!

This is by far the most photo-packed “Looking back” post. Continue at your bandwidth’s risk.

Kath said to me (while she was closing our front door), “Come and have a look!”
Have you ever seen such a contraption? I don’t even know what it’s called – basically it goes around the tree, opens up like an upside down umbrella and shakes the trees of its dry leaves. Save some time raking them at the side of the street. But hey! Never seen them in operation before. This is a first.

Honey haul from Arataki.
Bumped into HollyD there and whose baby is still unwilling to say “Hello world!” Apparently Arataki is her daughter’s favourite place.

First ACC claim.
My toe looked a bit swollen yesterday and it hurts a little when I put pressure on it. I’ve had this pain before but I never bothered checking my toes because I put the pain down to occupational hazard – being on my feet for too long in closed-toe shoes. It was definitely swollen yesterday (so glad I took a photo) but of course it looked like nothing is wrong with it today when I went to see David. So I showed him the photo I took yesterday…

Yup! Great start to my Holiday of 2011!
21st August 2011, Sunday. Not looking forward to the long transit in CHC though.
Breakfast is like a lunch set!
When the newly weds came back home about 11am or so, we were taken to the paddock by the side of their house to see some cows! We city folks don’t get much of that back in Malaysia – especially when it’s JUST beside your house!
From being brought up as a city girl, to loving it as a country woman – what a transformation for MissYap in the past 3 years.
The cows were not impressed with us pointing our “black boxes” at them, but aren’t they cute looking at you??
