Big back yard adventures + new look

Posted in Life, Website at 5:27pm

Happy Twenty-Ten, everyone! I hope you’re having an enjoyable year so far. My week has been pretty good, except for a brief stomach bug which is getting better. I had a quiet New Years Eve with my parents, boyfriend, one of my sister’s, nephew and his friend. We let off some fire crackers and Josh and I went for a moonlit walk.

On the weekend Josh and I camped in the bush on my farm! Apparently it doesn’t count as ‘real camping’ because it’s so close to home. I guess it’s more like really, really big backyard camping? Anyway, it was the first time I’ve ever camped in there and it was lovely. We had a fire and cooked sausages and potatoes for dinner the first night, drank wine and had a great time. It was pretty successful, although neither of us had a particularly comfortable sleep so the next day we got some small mattress things from home. The second night was muuuch more comfortable!

I didn’t get any photos of our little adventure, but I’m sure we’ll go camping there again before summer is over, in which case I will definitely take my camera.

Lastly, I have installed a new theme for the site. I actually made it back in November and was going to use it from December but then I of course made that Christmas theme. I’m fairly happy with it at the moment but there are a few things I’d like to tweak. What do you think? Constructive criticism is always welcome! (Yes, I am aware I am basically recycling the same base design, shhh!)

Festive Theme!

Posted in Website at 11:09am

For the first time ever, I have created a holiday theme for my blog. I’m pleased as punch with it, quite frankly, considering I only decided I wanted to have a Christmas theme yesterday afternoon and worked on it until 10pm last night and then a bit this morning. Usually it takes me over a week to finalise a design because I tweak them so much!

Anyway, it features a wonderful illustration by Martine Lemmens and so far there is only one glitch (with the navigation appearance) which I will fix later today because I’m going out soon.

Happy December, everyone!

Wordpress Comment Plugin

Posted in Website at 1:09pm

Do any of you lovely Wordpress users know of any decent comment plugins? The main thing I want it to do is send an email notification to commenters when I (or maybe even someone else) replies to their comment.

P.S., this is hilarious.
