Here’s my first doodles with my awesome Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet that I use full time!

My New 52 for the week – this is the first time I’ve had a $100 note in my hands! I’ve always got cash at an ATM, so they only give out $50s.

New52 – Bye-bye Oven
One thing that we were looking forward to at our new home was a double oven. After using 900mm ovens all our married life, I was a bit cautious of going back to a 600mm oven.Then once it was installed the oven never worked. Or rather the timer never worked – the click never lit… Continue reading New52 – Bye-bye Oven
