Pinch and a Punch

... for the first of the month!

As you can see, blogging is high in my priorities this year. *Ahem*

January passed quicky and smoothly, for the most part. My husband is still limping from hurting his knee about three weeks ago. It appears that his cartilage is damaged, and according to his medical certificate there should be "considerable improvement" in approximately two years. "Rest" is prescribed. Needless to say, I'm being much nicer to him, mostly because when he walks it looks so painful it makes my knees start to ache.

In other (and much nicer) news, my teacher's registration was approved VERY quickly (in less than a third of the time it usually makes) and now I can legally teach primary school in Tasmania. I am extremely happy! Private schools go back on Febuary 9, and public schools on the 15th, so it won't be long until I have relief work.

Looking at my photos, it appears that January has mostly involved taking photos of Bumblebees and flowers... here are some of my favourites.

 Next post, I'm hoping to show you some of the stuff I've made this year... until then!

Wedding Anniversary Number Six!

I've been looking at wedding photos for the last few days (preparing to finally get them printed!) and so now it is finally my wedding anniversary and I'm so excited!

Tonight we are going out for dinner and then a movie - nice and relaxed, just like our wedding day was! I can't wait! Wood fired pizza, here I come!

Also, honey, if you finally catch up on reading my blog, the last six years have been wonderful, and I'm looking forward to the next 60! 

African Animals

*** For some reason this post is making my blog behave strangely! Clicking on "older posts" (below this post) will take you to the next page, on which everything is normal... strange, ey.***

For many, many months I've been haunting the webcams of a South African wildlife park.

There are four cameras and they update every 30 seconds. I see birds a lot, but I've FINALLY seen animals. FIVE species, in fact! I'm just so excited!!!

Stripy Antelope! I think the proper name for them is "Nyala". There were more of them but I didn't manage to get a picture.

WARTHOG!!! OH MY GOSH SO EXCITED!!!!

There were also Wildebeest, a whole herd of them drinking, a deer of some type (shown below) and a HUGE bull, a cape buffalo, I believe. Blogspot, however, spat the dummy and I lost the awesome pics I had. :(

Do you know what this is?

ETA: Also... elephants! I didn't see these myself, someone else saved it to the forums. Totally awesome!
