10 on 10 November

November 2011 was the first time I participated in 10 on 10. Over the year my interest has been vast but my participation sparse so to mark my first 10 on 10 anniversary, I thought I would join in again today.

My day was not eventful by any measure, but to use my bosses favourite phrase, "it is what it is"

daily morning chore of unloading the dishwasher

never done before task, of scanning the newspaper for employment opportunities

one happy boy opens a parcel from yesterdays mail

phone hiding in bag beeps with an invitation I have to refuse

mark and sort work samples for assessments

coffee break

another daily chore

enter results into reporting software

quick but necessary visit to the shops

lovely children were all home

Elements

Elements

This week Bella challenged us to document elements of a creation, her words exactly:

"We Paint, We Cook, We Sew,

We Knit, We Photograph,

We Make.

We Create.

But where do we start?

What elements or ingredients 

do you gather together to begin?"

These little guys were an inspiration from my son's teacher. My son brought just one home from school as a treat for dad on Father's Day but he and I promptly shared it then raced to the shops to buy the ingredients to make a new batch. We enjoyed the process of making these for dad just as much as nibbling on the elements as we went.

A Moment of Life

One of my all time favourite moments of life, caught by my dad 40 years ago. This is the moment I became the middle child.
