Lovely Loobylu, the instigator of what’s hot and not, is having a break this week, but I feel compelled to persist …
| HOT | NOT | |
| Summertime! Loving our cool, shady courtyard and deck. | Having to move house next month – oh, and find somewhere to move to … | |
| Walking! It’s what all the one-year-olds are doing around here. And sitting in the kitchen shelf with the stockpot. | Falling over due to unsteady walking. Ouch. | |
| Watching the thunder-storm on new year’s eve, with sleepy four-year-old on lap and NZ sparkling in hand. | I’ve never liked the emphasis placed on new year as a chance for starting something new or changing something. I believe that this can be done any time. I like to think of time as continuous rather than delineated. | |
| Pip’s resolutions. I’m not really one for new year’s resolutions, but I love these. (Especially no. 7) | Too many things to do, so little time! Sigh! | |
| Reaching the end of my Mum’s shawl! | Inexpert lace shawl blocking ahead … | |
| Enjoying our lovely Christmas gifts, including reading new books. | Watching certain children’s’ DVDs perhaps a little too much. Sad that my cultural references now entirely consist of dialogue from children’s movies. | |
| Home-made icy poles | Much of my cooking now ends up on the floor … | |
| Cubism at Heide, and their new café! | Day trips en famille are still a little challenging without an entourage of nannies, sherpas and personal chefs. | |
| Visiting the dinosaurs at the museum, and the illustrations in this clever little book. Dinosaurs now very hot, and dragons even more so. | Amongst my new genre of bedtime stories with dragon protagonists, perhaps my “Dragons go to Luna Park” is not so hot … |

| HOT | NOT | |
| The weather | The weather (too hot) | |
| Poppies for remembrance | To be totally obvious (but it goes with the poppies), War | |
| Fresh peaches on my muesli and yoghurt, and breakfast outside in the cool of the morning | Not managing to buy a house on the weekend (sob) | |
| Slipping back into work without too much drama. Sadly, it’s like I’ve never been away in some ways. | Getting up at 6.30. Driving in heavy traffic for an hour to get to work. | |
| Getting a babysitter, leaving the house without children, eating Indian food and seeing a movie! | The children, unused to it, don’t like us getting a babysitter and leaving the house. (But they survived) | |
| If this keeps up, dinner here is on the cards! | Our good friends moving back to Sydney in a few weeks … sob | |
| Thinking about Christmas and doing a bit of on-line shopping for gifts, and planning crafty activities | Thinking about Christmas … only how many days away? | |
| Home-made icy poles, strawberries and watermelon | A proper breakfast (as far as young R is concerned) |
Also really hot is the garage (literally), and drawing on the ground, and of course, Buzz Lightyear.
