The Nannablogger

Ollie's own camera work shows the nannablogger in full flight. This is how Miss E mostly sees me, with a big black glass and plastic thing attached to my face.

She's never stopped smiling though, despite the scary nanna apparition waiting for her every move.


Miss E returned from her weekend down the coast this afternoon, in time for a big afternoon tea of leftovers (frittata & banana muffins) before taking Nellie the beagle back home.

Nellie had a great weekend here checking off her list of favourite things to do. The long walk to the Woden Farmer's Market on Sunday morning is especially good but so is finding all the ancient bones from 100 years ago in our garden.

We enjoyed cool clear Autumn weather this weekend, the leaves are changing colour and we can start to hear the distinctive Autumn bird sounds. We bought the last of the local plums at the farmers market this morning + some sun dried versions. After a guided tasting we also developed an instant passion for the local Lowanna's Paddock olive oil and have been dipping into it all day with slices of freshly baked Dom's Italian olive bread.

Quite a bit of real estate movement around us at the moment. the house over the road is up for auction next month after its four year long makeover. Will the interest rate rises affect interest in this market?

I am the spokesperson for the new ACT Public Education Alliance (comprised of the local teachers' union, the ACT Principals Association, P&C Council, the Preschool Association and the Save our Schools Committee). The Alliance was launched last week and a little bit of media interest was generated. The interest was at quite a shallow level however. They just want to know which politicians we want to support and which are in our bad books (it is an election year this year in the ACT)!
