The downhill slide to summer

Are we there yet?  July?  It certainly feels like it, the sun is barely making it over the neighbour's trees on it's lonely trek across the sky , a sure sign that we are in the depths of winter.  As if the 8 degree days weren't a clue.  Good news though, is that we have passed the shortest day.  Celebrated in our house with a few drinks (and a few drinks more just to make sure we well and truly passed the shortest day, we can't do anything by halves) and a toast to the downhill slide to summer.  Through all that nasty equinox wind and rain. 

State of Origin tonight.  Despite being Queensland supporters, we'll be screaming for the Blues tonight.  There is nothing like a one-all result to make the final game somethin' special.  Go the Blues

Random fact – did you know that the NZ ministry of Health is on Twitter?  Regarding the Swine Flu epidemic?  Iknow.  Totally random.

Another more fun and entirely more relevant fact – Cosmo Cricket is having a DT call.  I love the quote at the top of their page.  "If we were meant to pop out of bed, we'd all sleep in toasters"
And did you know that Cosmo does fabric.  Ahh yes, apparently so.  Scroll down their blog and read for yourself.

And a new scrapbooking company, here.  Shabby Green Door.  I've taken quick peek – long enough to be told 3 times my browser was out of date.  Yes, Shabby Green Door, my browser is indeed out of date.  As is my wardrobe as I fight tooth and nail to avoid the tights-boots-long-top-with-belt trend… it's Ok.  Accept me as I am (in my jeans and sweatshirt, no sign of tights-boots-long-top-with-a-belt) and let me see your gorgeous new product. 

Leaving you with a layout now to go watch that league game – go the blues.

This one from the latest Tarisota Collection. Laters

    Another lovely page. 🙂
    And the twitter thing… that’s cool. Gotta reach as many people as you can via whichever medium works. Especially since it’s young people who are most affected by this virus.
    Keep washing your hands!
