Familiar territory

I had a call from my older sister a few days ago that my nephew wants to spend the coming week with me. It is school holidays again and I reckon he just wants to get out from under his mother and sister for a while. Solution? Visit the single uncle.

Call me Bubble Boy!

On my way home from work last night, I made a quick stop at the grocery store to buy a few dairy products. It is all part of my new eat healthy/fitness regime. [You can stop giggling Katt.]
