Most people say that they hated school.Considering I changed schools about as often as most people change their socks, I guess I never really got the opportunity to actually find things to hate about school. In year 10 I threw caution to the wind and became involved with drama, the debating te...

http://pondlifewithpip.blogspot.com/2011/05/butter-wouldnt-melt-in-my-mouth.html
Wednesday, 25 May 2011. Butter wouldn't melt in my mouth. Being the youngest, by far, of four girls, I was often.well.pampered? My eldest sister Joan was a teacher, so she taught me to read and write before my 4th birthday. My sister Jackie was a dressmaker so she sewed all my clothes, as well as my Cindy doll's clothes and my next sister, Jenny actually paid me to make her a cup of coffee every night when she got home from work. Of course, I wasn't above bribery too. But there was ALWAYS Grandma! Now Mu...

I put a few hand collected shells in the bathroom a few weeks ago, but today it was on! We own well over 400 cd's so it was a big task.

Sunday, 29 May 2011. Getting that beachy feel. Well, here it is, Sunday arvo and the end of another weekend. I decided to do a bit of redecorating today. Because we both love the beach and it is too cold to hang around down at Cronulla, I thought I might add a bit more of a beachy feel to the apartment. I put a few hand collected shells in the bathroom a few weeks ago, but today it was on! We own well over 400 cd's so it was a big task. The cd racks stand 2 metres high!

pondlife: April 2011
http://pondlifewithpip.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 April 2011. Something to be proud of. My grandfather died when I was 4 years old. His name: Andrew Phillip Graham and yes, I was named after him.well I was supposed to be a boy (we all were) and clearly I wasn't, so Phillipa was the closest my parents got to a tribute to this wonderful man. I will tell you more of that story another time! Today is ANZAC day, so I want to talk about my grandfather. Now my grandfather was shipped overseas to serve as a soldier in WW1. Grandfather was a carpenter...

http://pondlifewithpip.blogspot.com/2011/03/meanwhile.html
Friday, 11 March 2011. I am a little disturbed about all these earthquakes, tsunamis, floods.etc.etc. Some of my friends are touting 2012.armageddon.etc.hummmm. What do you think? As a (relatively) intelligent, or leastways well educated person, I fail to see how ANYONE can safely predict the future! Especially the date of the demise of humankind.hmmmm again. As Sarah Connor tells us in Terminator." there is no fate but what we make for ourselves". Meanwhile it has been a very eventful week familywise!

Friday, 25 March 2011. Such a hard time of year for me. Tomorrow is my Mother's birthday. If she was still alive, she would be turning 89! Elizabeth Joan Mary Evans (nee Graham) was born on 27 the March, 1922. Second daughter of Mary Gladys Graham (nee Crombie) and Andrew Philip Graham. Mum had two sisters, Lucy Jane and Margaret Anne Moya (Nancy). My Auntie Nancy died from a burst appendix and subsequent peritonitis when she was 9 years old. I tried to get her to eat her dinner but she wasn't interested...

Friday, 6 May 2011. On being a mother. It has taken me many years to truly appreciate my mother and what she did for me. Now, I know what you are all thinking. By their very nature, mothers nurture and protect, feed, care and go without to ensure their offspring are okay, while fathers tend to show their love by providing, lovingly protecting, Teaching and generally getting to do lots of fun things like sport. It is a completely different type of caring and both are, in their own way wonderful. Every bag...
