This is a Project 365 blog- a picture every day for a year. I picked up this idea from Allison, as I find it an interesting and challenging project. I have chosen to start from my birthday and document each day of my 33rd year. There is a photo for each day- mostly with me as the photographer (there will be exceptions. Some days it is hard to choose, others not so hard.

Day 103 - Clouds
26 June 2010- The clouds today were very interesting. It's tough to get a good photo though.
Day 102 - Brisbane
25 June 2010- We wandered past this in the CBD in Brisbane- apparently the city council has been sponsoring an alleyway revival over the past 3 weeks, and this was a alley way fiesta. There were jugglers, and a counting horse ( a girl with a horse head costume) and an art show. It was all very interesting and different.
Day 101 - Wine!
24 June 2010- We have way too much. What with the frequent stops at Dan Murphy's on Fridays, the quarterly 12 bottles and the extra we bought for the party in January, we have a lot. This picture shows a small fragment of the collection that is housed in the kitchen, in the vain hope that we will drink it.
Day 100 - wet weather
23 June 2010 - Yes, it rains sometimes in Brisbane, and when it does, you need these. There was a third, but it was out at lunch
Day 99 - Baking fail
22 June 2010 - Still in baking mode I tried one of my old favorites- the Hershey's rich chocolate cake (or something along those lines). It didn't want to come out of the pan. Now I remember, this was the recipe that got me started on using baking paper to line the pan.
Day 98 - Happy Birthday to someone!
21 June 2010 - This has been chalked on the wall of a building visible from my workspace, I don't know this Jess, but it is an interesting birthday present.
Day 97 - Scones
20 June 2010 - I felt like baking, so I cracked open the " country kitchen" cookbook and tried some scones. I used half buttermilk and half regular milk (what the recipe called for) and they were yum, but had a tendency to fall apart (Greg's complaint, not mine)

Day 96 - A jag
19 June 2010 - Not one, but two vintage jaguars were parked at the markets today, not near each other unfortunately, otherwise there would be a different picture. Very swish, but teeny tiny mirrors.
Day 95 - Coffee through a straw
18 June 2010 - The waiter gave me a funny look when I asked for the straw and then noticed the lip. Yes I can still sip coffee through a straw, and it kind of makes me want to sing the old Girl Scout standby song "Cider through a straw".
Day 94 - trains
17 June 2010 - This is the view from my work car park. The train tracks run right by, which can be quite noisy. The other bridge, with the lights on, is the yet to be opened Go Between Bridge. yes Brisbane has a bridge called the Go Between Bridge.
Day 93 Medicate me
16 June 2010 - My medication - two different antibiotics, an anti-inflamatory (ibuprofen, which is also a painkiller), and a fairly strong painkiller. Plus the vaseline to rub on the lip itself.
Day 92 - BOOKS
15 June 2010 - Last day of the Lifeline bookfest. Twice a year for at least 3 days the Lifeline charity puts on a massive book sale in Brisbane- millions of books, most under $5 ( the average paperback book in Australia is around $20 thanks to some very restrictive importing rules.) many are under $2. Over the years I have picked up some absolute bargains (1930's original Nancy Drew - no cover 50 cents) and some very unique gifts ( 1956 state mining journal for my dad). Anyway this is one at least 10 tables in the high priced section (about up to $10), there are another 20 to 30 in the regular and cheapie sections.

Day 91 World Cup
14 June 2010 - At the cafe at 4 am to watch Australia be shellacked by Germany. Truly awful. And kind of depressing to see how fairweather some of the Australian fans are.
Day 90: Cheese!
13 June 2010 - Mmmm cheese. I like cheese, maybe you can tell? And pickled onions. No not so much, but the other half of the household does, so there they are as well.
Day 89
12 June 2010 - not this is not a mistake- I forgot to take a photo. And when I realised, I wasn't even upset. Those were really STRONG painkillers.
Day 88
11 June 2010 - I don't like this photo- it shows what happens when two people misjudge a situation. In this case the keeper and I both went for a 50/50 ball. I got there first and got a shot off, she didn't. and when we collided my chin met her knee and ouch. A lot.
Day 87- The Toxic Avengers
10 June 2010 - At the annual ASFA trivia night. We came second- by a measley half a point. Half a point. Yes I am annoyed, especially since we lost two questions because I couldn't hear the correct answer someone had.
Day 86 - half finished
9 June 2010 - the two halves of a biscornu, but I have run out of the thread, so will need to make a trip to eumundi before it can be finished.

Day 84 - Mouse
7 June 2010- I spotted the mouse corpse in the driveway when I came home from soccer. Pretty big mouse (or small rat).
Update- this is indeed a rat. As long as it is no longer living in the building I don't care that much.
Day 83 - Coffee or Tea?
6 June 2010 - The newly organised tea and coffee cabinet. We have at least 6 different kinds of leaf tea.
Friday, June 4, 2010
Day 81 - Cake
4 June 2010 - I made a cake. It may have come from a packet mix, but it was yum. The whole in the center is because, despite cooking at the right temp and time, and checking, the middle seems not to have cooked 100 % and it collapsed under the frosting.
Day 80 - more family
3 June 2010 - My step sister-in-law, at dinner at my Mum's place. She is probably having a worse month than myself, having just been diagnosed with the terrible c word.
Day 78 - more healthy living
1 June 2010 - That would be a mini jam doughnut next to my tea, so not really healthy.
