Exceptions To The Rule
We’ve been making a Woodfire Pizza Oven at home over the last few weeks. In one weekend, after so many weeks of waiting, we basically put it all together and started the first fire and batch of pizzas!
Dad was putting the render on the outside, and showing Luke how to do it so he could help. The rule was “Only push the render up, don’t drag it down the pizza oven”. So that’s what Luke did. Later, towards the end I noticed Dad putting the render on sideways. I didn’t say anything, but I thought to myself, “there are (almost) always exceptions to the rules”. I know that for me, there are the odd exceptions when comic sans IS an okay font to use (I know it’s hard to belive…!), or that in cooking, sometimes odd flavours work, and that in craft, sometimes colour combinations that shouldn’t work, do. We can’t be too stuck in the rut, or 100% sure that the ‘rule’ is right.
Now that pizza oven is up and running we’ve used it quite a few times. It’s lovely to sit outside and enjoy some company, and relax. Perfect on these hotter nights! Here are some snaps of the building process:
Oh, and this also means that I can cross something off my list of things that needs to be finished!
1. Making the Christmas pressents for everyone <- very important!
2. Finish making Christmas quilt <- also quite important!
3. Finish bathroom
4. Finish woodfire pizza oven
5. Clean study
6. Edit photos for Pete and Rhys, and edit Video from Hayden’s 18th.
Those last two stare and me, hating me, but I WILL get them done. Eventually. :-S
The slideshow below goes through some of the stages of making the oven. Not sure if you’ll be able to view it in your reader, so if you can’t just click through and view in your browser!

My Dad…
My dad has four children, and one wife. He’s my boss, and my protector ( I have a few of them!).
He’s smart, caring, and loving.
Here we are, from youngest to oldest. I know I’m a few days late, but Happy Father’s Day!
My Favourite Photo…
I was tagged by Zoey for this meme, which was started by Fat.Mum.Slim.
It’s really simple. I love how every photo tells a story. Some short stories, some long tales. I want to know what is your favourite photo of yourself. Everyone has one. The photo they look at and smile. It reminds them of something, some time, some place. A moment in time.
So share the photo, share the story and then tag three other people. I want to see photos and stories all around the blogosphere.
Baby me and Daddy
The photo isn’t the good- it’s 22 years old now, and is pretty spech. That’s me and my daddy. Our first photo. I love him SO much, and I by the looks of this photo, he loves me too. 
There is something so special about daddies and their daughters.
I can’t wait for the day when I can take a picture of Luke with our daughter in the same position. I love my dad, and think that he’s the best.
I tag Bonnie, Bettina, and Lucy!
