Please forgive me for being brief, I have my lovely in-laws visiting so I don't want to be antisocial in front of my computer for their entire trip! We are having a ball and little Tinker is thrilled with the attention of FOUR grandparents every single day. Very lucky little bunny.
She has learnt so many new phrases while they have been here and she is really amazing us all with her gorgeous personality. She was such a little doll at playgroup today, she went and hugged a little girl who was crying and she continued to offer her toys to all the other children. Cue the gushing proud mama! Sorry I can't help it.
We will be back to regular programming on Thursday I promise.

Now before I forget, my friend Kel over at Natsukashii tagged me with this little quiz so here are my answers:
Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your invention & add one more question of your own.
Tag eight other people:
Like Telle, I am leaving this bit open. Tag yourself if you have not already been tagged!
What is your current obsession?
Cancer. My best friend is fighting it and I’m looking for a fancypants doctor somewhere in the world who will fix her.
What’s for dinner?
Well we have just had dinner. Chicken & Parmesan schnitzel with salad. We had an apple and berry strudel with thick cream for dessert. Yes I am on a diet. I just forgot. Again.
What’s the last thing you bought?
Today I paid for my two Griffons Bruxellois to spend the day at the dog grooming place. They look like smooth Ewoks.
What are you listening to right now?
My mother and my inlaws are in the family room watching Grand Designs. I can hear that from here.
If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
Savannah might be nice this time of year?
Which language do you want to learn?
At one time I was studying 5 languages and fluent in 4. Now I’m struggling with English. I’d like to learn Mandarin.
What do you love most about where you currently live?
It has everything. Amazing views, lovely people, nice things to eat, nice walks and stunning harbourside parks. We are very lucky here, we chose well.
What is your favourite colour?
Navy blue
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe?
An LV brown silk cardigan with delicate little pearl buttons. It is exquisite and reminds me of more carefree times. It hangs on a brown velvet hanger and has been afforded pride of place with a good two inches either side so none of my ratty clothes dare to touch it.
Describe your personal style?
Do even have one anymore? Before my post-baby body when all my clothes fit me, I’d say it was along the lines of Charlotte from SATC but now it’s more like Miranda when she was going through that messy fat-bellied post-baby phase. It’s not hot.
If you had $300 now, what would you spend it on?
Shoes and a parking fine I got yesterday because the evil oncologist kept us waiting an hour. Cow.
What are you going to do after this?
Fold washing and call my husband to see if he made it home before curfew. Yes we have a curfew. Sydney airport won’t allow planes to land between 10pm and 6am.
What are your favourite films?
Not a film person. Weird isn’t it. I’d struggle to name one film I adore.
Your favourite smell?
Gardenia- my wedding flower.
Do you collect anything?
Regrets
What makes you follow a blog?
Quality writing usually.
Do you like to comment on blogs or just lurk?
I always try to comment because I hate that feeling where it seems I am talking to myself so I always say something.
What’s one thing you dream of doing?
So many things. I am a day dreamer. I’d love to have a few amazing holiday homes in exotic locations.
What is your biggest regret?
I have too many to list. I am a really regretful person. Is that even a word? I am very hard on myself and that’s how I like it so I regret a lot of things and which I'd done them differently. I remember my mistakes.
What is your favourite thing to do on a rainy day?
Leave on a plane bound for sunny skies. Don’t you love taking off when it is raining? Makes it all the more exciting.
Do you have a tattoo?
Absolutely not. I really hate tattoos, boganic. No exceptions sorry.
If you could be anyone who would it be?
Queen Rania of Jordan. I totally have a girl crush on her. I'd love to be her. She is brilliant. Wise, beautiful, a fantastic mother, wife. Queen Rania does such amazing things for the women and children of Jordan. She also gets to wear a crown. She is awesome.
Are you left handed, right handed, ambidextrous, or a little of both?
Right. Isn’t ambidextrous a little of both so I don’t think I get the question.
What is the single most defining moment of your life thus far?
Becoming a mum I’d say.
