dear olive pages home about me follow favourites powered by blogger about me 22 hello and goodbye friday december 11 2015 dear olive it s been so long since i ve been in this space and while i still think about blogging i m struggling to find the head space to find the right words or if there are words there s no pictures to go with them long ago i planned on writing a big post announcing that i d started studying nutritional medicine this year but because of that my time is spread even more thinly and the computer has become a glaring reminder of what i should be doing rather than something to enjoy so i m thinking of calling it quits here it s been tremendously rewarding for me writing this blog which is the reason for the tiniest bit of hesitation in my heart and there s been so much in the past few months that i haven t shared that i was planning to like my sisters wedding your sixth birthday all of clancy s milestones and the funny little things he says and does your amazing first year of school how on friday you ll accept a big award for academic excellence of course i ll cry and how this year you grew so much way beyond our wildest dreams into someone so delightful and bright i can scarcely believe it but i don t really know how to begin anymore so instead of beginning it i m going to end it thank you for reading and being a part of my story all these years your support and friendship has given me so much i shed a little tear as i type live well friends live life in love photo by leah moore photography worlds most adorable boy by me share this post 5 39 saturday october 17 2015 dear olive my birthday came and went in september without much of a fuss i suppose i m saving up all my celebrating for next year but i did get the most marvellous card from you just look at our beautiful old lovely 39 girl happy birthday to you as an aside a few days ago for your upcoming big day we taught clancy how to sing happy birthday he s obviously got it stuck in his head because he s been quietly singing it in the most delightful sing song voice for past three days non stop share this post labels birthday 2 the tomatoes monday august 31 2015 dear olive shane had to go to the sydney growers markets last week and buy 2 400 worth of tomatoes for a commercial it filled to the hilt an entire van i couldn t get over the ridiculousness of his job and i couldn t get over just how many tomatoes there were needless to say two big boxes came home with him at the end of the shoot so on the weekend i got pretty busy i turned one box into lots of jars of this indian inspired chutney it was doing my head in trying to get the proportions exact i mean how could i divide and multiply 6 tomatoes by the amount i used i m no maths whiz and i added onion to mine which confused things further and also chilli but it turned out pretty great i ve given away six jars of it and shane and i are committed to consuming the rest i also semi roasted a big batch in a low oven with some garlic and herbs and still we re handing out small bags of tomatoes to friends and neighbours i m pleased to say lots of tomatoes plenty of other food from the job too were dropped to ozharvest share this post labels what we re eating yummy 0 the weekly friday august 28 2015 dear olive in a move one could only describe as unbridled procrastination i thought i would do a weekly post on what i ve been reading and finding around the interweb you know with all that spare time of mine even if it s simply a place for me to store links so i can come back and read later and who knows this may well be the one and only installment one of my new parent friends at o s school teaches adults how to be more creative isn t this school a fantastic idea i teared up reading this think the appendix is just a useless little tail think again this award winning movie was made by my supremely brilliant friends daughter i d love to visit here a family theme park unsuitable for children a proposed link between maternal vit a deficiency and asthma more generally our findings highlight a point often overlooked in adult medicine which is that adverse foetal exposure that cause subtle changes in developing organs can have lifelong consequences and while of course i don t need it and i certainly can t afford it i d really like it i ll take the top while i m at it too i had to look this up for this post honestly i would have sworn the double ll was the english version share this post labels the weekly 4 the leek papa the leek monday august 24 2015 dear olive at my dads a few weeks back we had somewhat of a smelly water emergency when a pipe overflowed i yelled out for you to get dad to help me mopping up a flood of stinky water ain t easy with an inquisitive toddler but dad was in his room and couldn t hear you so unbeknown to me you raced off put pen to paper and slipped a note under his door that read the leek papa the leek oh how we laughed we ve arrived at the wonderful world of notes i m ever so pleased to be here a selection of your paperwork from the past couple of months below although i m absolutely cursing that i can t find the one about how horrible shane and i are said that you were just crying crying complete with a picture of you in jail while the rest of us went to a fair share this post labels olive 5 sweet dreams saturday august 22 2015 dear olive i really don t know what to say here because how could i use mere words to describe the loss of someones child with heavy hearts we travelled up to the central coast to go to banjo s life party last week watching mic and jilly and the kids carry in banjo in his time machine was one of the most unbearably heartbreaking things i ve ever seen somehow though they have met this terrible tragedy with grace and dignity which has been so inspiring to everyone around them they ve chosen to focus on love and i hope they feel the outpouring of it that is coming to them from so many it was such a present force in the room that day amidst all the tears there was such love i ll be holding them all in my hearts for a long time to come without a second thought they donated banj s organs which i thought was a magnificent and courageous decision the tragic loss of banjo then meant the gift of life to five young kids if you re in australia and you would like to be an organ donor the best thing you can do is register your wishes on the the donor register so in the event of an accident your family can feel secure that their decision was also yours sweet dreams banj live on in happiness share this post labels family loss 12 for banjo wednesday august 5 2015 dear olive it s impossible for me to think of anything else except my cousins ten year old son banjo he was hit by a car two days ago and is in hospital hanging on to life with the help of a machine his family and mine are asking for prayers if you have a god or some kind of caretaker of the universe would you ask him or her to send their bright shiny little one back to them surely it can t be his time to go share this post labels family 2 weekend in melbourne tuesday august 4 2015 dear olive clancy and i whipped off to melbourne on the weekend and it was such fun i had a friends party to go to but i also caught up with many of my local friends and we made it to the david bowie exhibition at acmi too which was so great although being a saturday it was extremely packed and of course i made the mistake of thinking clancy would sleep through it in the sling who was i kidding which made it a little difficult for me to actually take much in and i was asked more than once to get him down off the exhibits rather embarrassingly he even bit off a foam wall that was part of one of the exhibits thank goodness it was dark we stayed at a friends place they have lots of space and also two cats and three chickens so clancy was in heaven when we arrived he stood outside the chicken pen and yelled duck he loved catching all the planes trains and trams that we rode on all weekend and apart from the aforementioned indiscretion at the bowie exhibition plus some serious chopstick throwing at a dumpling house he was an absolutely terrific little travel companion what s more back in sydney you and shane had a really special fun filled weekend too so we were winning all round ps that last photo is one friends painting hanging in another friends isn t it beautiful she whipped up a quick portrait of our friends cat for their birthday card too share this post labels clancy trip 4 trouble friday july 24 2015 dear olive goodness me this boy of ours is trouble i don t know if it s a boy girl thing or just an individual kid thing but he is so very different to you at the same age he s physical and energetic and so were you but this is next level and served with a side of aggressive destruction he yells and hits and screams the house down at a simple nappy change and then in the same breath smothers us with kisses and cuddles sometimes we can t physically get him in the car seat so we just have to just wait it out until he s decided he s ready same goes for the pram and the sling and sometimes shoes he s obsessed with balls and he ll throw anything that s not tied down anywhere in the house down the toilet out the window into the bin at kids in the park we re all hit in the head daily with balls books shampoo bottles a few nights ago he started a fire in our kitchen when he threw something up onto the stove top i was in the bedroom reading you a book and he came in and asked me to help him with his specialised language made up of grunting and nods possibly not alerting me to the fire but because he wanted his toy back he is e x h a u s t i n g and by the end of each day i m weary and battered but you know what it s ok it won t be like this forever and because this grand grand love he s brought into our lives makes all our hearts sing share this post labels clancy motherhood 4 happy birthday thursday july 23 2015 dear olive happy birthday to our team captain share this post labels birthday shane 1 a week at dads dear olive we went up to my dads for the first week of your school holidays you clancy and i it was such a lovely week hanging with my family and making the most of the warm weather and all the space at dads clancy was really hard work wouldn t let me out of his sight to go to the toilet kind of hard work and by the end i was utterly exhausted thankfully he returned to his normal slightly more independent self when we returned home and i suspect a lethal combination of the old teething developmental age being away from home was to blame on a coastal walk we did one day we saw what could have been twenty whales breaching and slapping fins and seemingly just enjoying being alive it was a privilege to behold share this post labels trip 7 in the mountains tuesday june 16 2015 dear olive shane had a week off in between jobs last week so in between a day of work for me and a show at the opera house we squeezed in a few days away at the blue mountains it was unbelievably refreshing to change our everyday routine even just for a few days and so important to do i think we rented a house which sat right on the escarpment in leura and we did a little bush exploring and sight seeing but mostly we just hung out and soaked up the incredible view the sense of space both inside the house which was enormous and outside with the view extending to endless mountains was so calming actually i t gave me an insight into what life could be like if we lived in a big place with lots of space at the moment we get out of the house to take clancy to the park in the morning race him home for a sleep and then bust out to give him another run after he wakes up in the afternoon it s designed to wear him out and frankly it s exhausting for us all last night you recounted to my friend having heard it from your friends brother no less the dreamtime story of the three sisters i d never heard it before and the way you told it was so poignant what a shame if it was made up read about it here tv on the radio in the concert hall of the opera house truly truly amazing although sadly it feels as though we ve stepped right back in to the same old shit once we got home share this post labels trip older posts dear olive all rights
