Nooks , Hooks and Hammocks

Things I know and or maybe 'I wish I knew then what I know now’

 1.I know my wishful thinking about lazing in The hammock is butt a dream. It's been too windy and cool the last few days despite the filtered sunshine. Really it is you , FB and twitter an excuse.

2.

 

so I've also been de-cluttering and organising - of course I need hooks

 

They are just NOT where I want them yet !

3. The SKUBB clothes boxes

– ( with a nifty handle on the side so it's easy to pull out from the shelf) -

fit my

Expedit bookcases PERFECTLY -though hubby is concerned about the white and grubby little boy hands. ( have you entered $150 IKEA giveaway closes 30/4 win the Skubb's and more). 
MORE ! he roared !!
 

4. The toys won't stay this tidy more than 12hrs - however I'm masterminding a plan to toss them out if not ! {By hook, nook or by crook ~ meaning ~ By whatever means necessary}

5. The ANTONIUS Frame

 is perfect for storing Lego and bulky Duplo in large bottom draw. Yes, it even fits the baseboards which are forever in the way!

I'd like a second Antonius because they stack and we have years of  stepping on collecting Lego ahead of us. (ps  The Lego Games prize has been doubled to 4 games per winner each valued over $126 ). I want the Antonius for my laundry too - because they hide a lot of baggage stuff neatly. 


5. Inspired by Eden's journey to Africa - {which I would never be brave enough to contemplate} - I am running the tortuous 14km City to Surf with Team World Vision to raise funds for World Vision to help change lives. My goal is $1000 - sponsor me here and I'll get a t -shirt to run in !


If I ever needed motivation to run ...I don't anymore.

Keep Calm ...

and curse when you lose the post you were working on.Not really.

Today I very surprised to learn the origins of this simple yet inspiring propaganda 'poster' that is now a world wide phenomenon. Thanks to Barter Books the image was re discovered in 2001.

Keep Calm poster ` one of the first truly iconic images of the 21st century.

There have been so many clever and witty pardodies , some very inspiring ones too. The spinoffs and merchandise a retailers bonanza.

Since Crown Copyright expires on artistic works created by the UK government after 50 years, the image is now in the public domain ~Wikipedia.

Though some have tried to copyright it .

 

I know I feel very connected to this simple and timeless phrase or rather the parodies. On many occasions it speaks volumes in 5-6 words. I don't know why though.

I know I am going to download the app - and the Keep Calm poster generator
