It’s Hamish’s 2nd birthday today, I would wish him happy birthday via twitter or facebook as I’ve seen others do in the past, but he can’t really read yet (he’s not more advanced then the other kids) so instead I’ll just let everyone else know it is…
Here’s some shots of him
Dicker, I know how much you want a garage so I thought I’d show you this one which you can take wherever you go!!
It’s for sale too!!
I’m not a poster kind of guy… anymore… I’m not even sure where you’re meant to hang posters after you get married.
Actually could it be in the garage? What if you don’t have a garage??
Anyway, if I were a poster kind of guy I think this one would be hanging with the others.
Here’s a game, don’t click on to it until you see the menu otherwise you will get an annoying pop up.
Doing a spot of ‘cooking’ today, going to try and make this complex recipe:
Ingredients:
- A banana or two
Method:
Cut them into small pieces and freeze them for 1 – 2 hours. Then supposedly you just keep blending them over and over until they finally go to a texture like soft serve.
I read somewhere you can freeze it afterwards in an air tight container and it will go the same texture as real ice cream and also that it is better to use banana’s that have gone a little brown.
The Banana bits are in the freezer so will let you know how it goes. By the way, I haven’t got the highest hopes as a high percentage of things I try in the kitchen fail, but we’ll see…
Here’s the link to one of the sites i saw this on: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/tips-techniques/stepbystep-instructions-for-oneingredient-ice-cream-097170
I was just over reading The Local – Swedans News in English, and came across this amazing guy!!
After an hour-long wait in a treatment room, he lost patience and proceeded to sew up his own wound.
“They had set out a needle and thread and so I decided to take the matter into my hands,” he said.
But hospital staff were not as impressed by his initiative and have reported the man on suspicion of criminal dispossession (egenmäktigt förfarande) for having used hospital equipment without authorization.

Caleb asks me the other morning, ‘Do you want to see my new break dancing dance?’, of course I do!!
This was funny because I didn’t even know he knew what he was doing was called break dancing (I swear, he’s nailed it… he’s so much more advanced then the other kids!! Ok that’s all a joke…). I have no idea where he learnt about it and I love that he has developed what he has been doing and now has put together a new dance routine!
So when he showed me I was naturally amazed! He’s not a perfom in front of the camera kind of guy, but if I can get him to I’ll show you!
There so much stuff he comes out with that we have no idea where he learnt it so if you’re reading this and taught him about break dancing or any other of the random stuff he comes out with I’d just like to say thank you.
I thought watching six minutes worth off stuff being broken and the like would be a little boring, but to be honest I found it wasn’t enough!

I’m starting to become like the people I laughed at in the past… Those people who turn appliances off at the wall after using them!
I know, ridiculous!
This was after our last bill being over $600 for a quarter. So now I’m becoming the electricity Police, turning power points off at the wall and lights off that I think aren’t in use, sometimes I’m corrected and told that the kids need to see while eating, but hey it’s a learning curve.
The good news is that the house we’re moving into (did I mention that we have to move again?? So annoying!! Even if we did know it was coming…) anyway, that house is have some solar panels installed later this year and although they won’t produces massive amounts of electricity at least it will decrease the bill a little.
It also has natural gas which is far more efficient than using electricity to heat. And I think it’s a better insulated place. So I’m looking forward to that.
The other morning I was making the boys porridge, I know I know I’m awesome.
Anyway…
Oh actually did I tell you I don’t even eat porridge and I think it tastes like glue? Yeah so I was making it but not going to eat, it was just for others!
Alright, I’ll get on with it…
So I put some brown sugar on it after serving it up and got some of the sugar on my finger so decided to suck it up, as it was going to taste awful, and just lick it off.
You know what?! It tastes pretty damn good and it was then that I realised I may never have tasted it not in something!!
I know that sounds stupid but since I was a kid I always thought it smelt terrible! So never ate it. My brothers and sister did, but not me, just couldn’t stand that smell.
But I may now just consider it next time… Although I’m not sure what else you put it on besides porridge…
