"To be or not to be....

....that is the question."


To be or not to be busy, is the actual question. And I have been rather busy.




Lily happens to be turning five soon, so we are throwing a small party for the little woman. As small as parties can possibly be, there still is a great deal of preparation.


We have had very slow Internet. Actually, it is pretty much no Internet because it is so slow. I would have been studying, but because of the slowness the pages expire before they download. The only things that do work are my blog, eBay and Yahoo, surprisingly enough =P
I have been reading a bit of Bronte recently.... I read Anne's book 'The Tennant of Wildfell Hall', which was very good. It was different to other books, especially comparing it to Austen, which I've never actually read. The main hero, Gilbert Markham, was far from perfect which is what I like, because it shows realism. Who in this world is perfect? None that I know of.... so yeah, that's what I like in books.
The other book I am in the process of reading: 'Wuthering Heights', by Emily Bronte. I am only up to chapter two, but so far so good.

There is more to my busyness, but it is getting late - 6:20 pm already. Time seems to fly - I am still getting over the fact that it is November. Shocking!

What's up...

The last few weeks have been pretty hectic for our family... renovating (it is coming along quite nicely), party organising, cleaning (there's lots of that!) and various other commitments.

Here is a photo story of what we have been up to:

Cake assembling.
Lily marveling at Mum's cooking skills.





Oven cleaning (not one of my favourite things!)


Cool dudes :P
And drawings from the hat as to whom gets to use the NEW toilet, bath and shower first :)
Well, that's all for now; hope you are all in excellent blogging health!
