We woke pretty early on Saturday and got straight into organsing the brunch. We thought a big day at the races deserved a big cookup. We had mountains of food, all the usual crew turned up before we downed a few Pink's stapped on the high heels and braved the sun. We were ready for the Picnic Races! Unfortunately, no one had much luck in the winning department but we all had lots of fun. When the running races started I had consumed just enough champagne to think it was worth entering so I kicked off my heels and headed for the starting line. We ended up running the race twice, yes someone decided to break and due to the SCORCHING hot ground I ended up with a ginormous blood blister on my toe- opps. That ... read more

It's stinking hot and about 23million percent humidity. That can only mean one thing - it's nearly the end of the year! As my excitement for a Perth summer of fun builds, I feel unbelievelby lucky to have had sun, surf (ok mud) and sea for the entire year. The October school holidays were no exception and the next few blog entries tell the tales behind my ongoing Kimberly adventures. Mia and Jarrad came to visit me and we saw more of this spectacularly beautiful country. Late morning on Sunday October 2nd was when Mia and Jarrad's plane landed at Broome airport. After the usual hugs and general jumping/hand clapping we beelined it for Matso's, Cable Beach and Divers Tavern. I had sorted some backpacker accomodation and it was pretty crappy but we survived to tell ... read more

It had been a loooonnnng week so by 2:30pm Friday arvo I was on my way to Broome for a much needed getaway. Vegemite was having such a lovely time when I dropped him off for his sleepover that he didn't even say goodbye! That made me feel less like a bad mother for leaving him. I arrived in Broome just after 5 and headed to Broome Beach Resort to meet up with the girls. Caitlyn and I walked down to Cable Beach to watch the sunset before picking up some drinks for the bbq. After a feast of sausages, gourmet salads and kangaroo burgers we made our way to Diver's Tavern for a groove. We were amazed that the band stopped playing at 11pm though. It seemed a bit silly to stop the music just ... read more

Week 6 sped by and I can't remember much, apart from feeling totally exhausted and put out about the fact that the weather was making the kids act feral. The weekend was a welcome relief. Friday night was going to be a Sporty's Special but that was not to be since the only thing on the menu was a meat platter which consisted of a ginormous chop, a sausage and a piece of chicken. We were with 2 veggies and it was no surprise that this was not an apetising combo to them. We took our hungry tummies to the Spini where we had to wait ages for our meals. I got the salt and pepper squid which was sensational and well worth the hour wait. After dinner we met a stack of people at the ... read more

Last weekend I hit the Boab to farewell Kate and was entertained by Broome band Phat Monkeys. Saturday was pretty normal apart from the few finishing touches to my costumes. I had to create a T getup for my Taryn party and a H costume sensation to go with my school function. My bike appropriate, Tellietubby costume, was relatively lame but my Hangover idea was solid. I had the berrocca, panadol packet, meat pie wrapper, bottle of water, crazy hair and bucket accessories all sorted. At 4pm I left home for Tour de Fridge. Our first stop was the Spinni for the minimum 2 drinks before departure. Then we received a Police escort (a cop was also at the party) to our next mandatory location. After some more drinks (jelly shots), nibbles and giggles we carefully ... read more
