Harvey and I had discussed Valentines Day previous to the day...and it was decided that it was for "schmucks" and waaaayyyy too commercialised etc. SO on the day, I gave Harvey a gift of lamb dinner with the trimmings and some chocolate. HIS gift to me was time... he was taking me to IKEA!! Woo hoo !
So on our appointed day, we were up early and out ! Saturday is normally our food shopping day - so we boycotted that for the Ikea car park instead. SO glad we got there early because we got parking, underground shaded area, straight away ! Too awesome. The second "woo hoo" moment of the day was breakfast : bacon, eggs, chipolata sausage, beanies and a hash brown for $1.95 ! BARGAIN ! I was almost tempted to go get seconds ! The third "woo hoo" moment was being able to walk straight up to the first stand we saw and pick up EXACTLY what I wanted straight away ! But what where is the fun in that I ask? Poor Harv was dutifully dragged up, down and around the Ikea floor plan while I poked, prodded and open/closed cupboards, tables, chairs and anything else that took my fancy. What FUN ! I got a few bits and bots and within an hour and a half we were done.
Best Valentines Day pressie ever. I'm thinking we should do this again ! :)

Epic FAIL at keeping up blog....
Ok....so....Its Chinese New Year...and it coincided with the first day back to school...YAY for me because I didnt have to cook ! :) Dodgy I know...but the first day back to work after six weeks off work is HELL !!
My wonderful, magnificent mother, prepared all day for a magnificent steam boat....ahhhhh....dee-lish ! A meal thoroughly enjoyed by all and sundry. After a super quick visit we were driving back home and into bed for an early night, ready for the next day.
Fast forward another week...and its Friday already and week two of the twelve week term is done and dusted ! Woo hoo ! Everyone is zipping along fine. Madi started at high school this year, Julian in year six, Michaela in year eleven, Prue in year four and Josh doing his diploma in Digital Media at TAFE. Me - I have the "juniors" in the early childhood room at Cloverdale ESC. I am in an new building built with Kevin Rudd (ex-PM) money...the sucky thing is that I have NO air conditioning and its HOT ! Seminary started back this week and its on for young and old already ! Phew ! I'm tired !
Harvey's vines have taken off. His largest haul was a bunch of grapes that was just over a kilo in weight ! Everything else in the veggie patch has "bitten the dust" tho. Quite literally ! Perth is SO hot and dry. Tragic. Nothing will grow no matter how much he waters and tends....sad.
Last Saturday Harv and I attended the Christmas Island Chinese New Year ball at the Burswood. The food was wonderful and there was a fun floor show and of course, the traditional Lion Dancing. Harvey even danced with me ! It was fun to get all "glammed" up in a party dress. My friend Tanya even did my make up. I felt like the princess ! Z:) Photos soon to follow...once I upload them !
