a quiz - with a puppy photo of troop

so i have been passed a couple of little quiz things by some beautiful blogger babes (that's an alliteration).

here is one i filled out for your reading pleasure....

Favourite colour? when i was little it was always purple - widget the world watcher was purple and it was still a girl colour without being everyone's favourite pink. boring.
when i was a teenager it was always mustard. 
now i love blue and green and pale pink and purple and yellow and everything else! i am one indecisive person.

Favourite animal? dogs. for sure. closely followed by elephants.

Favourite non-alcoholic drink? we don't drink alcohol so this question really is just "favourite drink". right now anything that is ice cold. cold milo, icy juice etc. but really i am a water drinker. i loooove ice cold water.

Facebook or twitter? facebook. i have a twitter account that i try to get into. but it just doesn't do it for me.

Favourite number? 8.

Favourite day of the week? sunday. sundays are the best.

My passions? timmy, this little baby we get to meet so soon, my whole family, printmaking, foooood.

Getting or giving presents? giving - if it's a really good one. receiving - if it's a really good one.

Favourite pattern? i like floral but i don't wear enough.

Favourite flower: poppies!

i leave you with a photo of me washing an elephant and a photo of troop as a pup.

fully sick.

life is better. now that, now that i found you life is.

the last week has been gross. it involved lots of nose blowing and coughing and spluttering and watching boring tv. a few things have been great. we got a new pup. another thing that has been great- spending hours chatting, watching movies and laughing on the lounge with timmy. there definitely have been times in my life when the thought of spending all day every day with anyone would send me running. it's different with the one you love. 

the pup (still nameless. thank you for your awesome suggestions, although you have only made the impossible task harder!) loves the beach. she suits this family of four just swell. 

we ventured to the beach this morning to escape the bug incubator that is our home. it was quite warm, we wore hoodies. i tried a bit of film photography. i'll show the photos once they are developed (this is providing 1. there was actually film in the camera 2. i can work out how to get it out)

we're feeling heaps better today, thank goodness. i'll be making the trek to uni tomorrow morning to try and catch up on the work i missed last week and hopefully some super creative juices will flow, maybe they have been just piling up over the last week and are waiting to burst out of my body and i will make the best thing ever. maybe. i hope. 

a new nameless pup.

my lap is warm as a new little pup snuggles in for the night. troop has a sister, finally. she doesn’t have a name yet. i need your help.

she will melt your heart with one little bunny hop.

yesterday was her first day with us, she has a lot to learn but is already feeling like part of the family. we just need a flippin’ name. i have a list of about 20 baby names i love for when the time comes. who knew it would be harder to name a puppy!

this is her. we love her, troop looooooves her and we think she might just like us too.
