We’re nearly at the business (read parties and good times) end of the year!!!
- Continuing to be counseled by Michelle Obama’s ‘Becoming’. Her considered reflection and wisdom take my mind to places it needs to go on my commutes each day.
- The low key dramas of work today could only herald one thing – I’m on annual leave for a week and a bit as of tomorrow.
- Churned through the chores. A long overdue catch up with good friends. Holiday mode in 5,4,3,2,1…..
- Long weekend Sundays and the living is easy.
- It went over 30C today. I was grateful for the breezy spots at the zoo.
Trying to find a spot at the beach afterwards, though, defeated us.
- New hair and I’ve already had to lock in my pre-Christmas appointment!!! For once, I’m GLAD this year is going by so fast.
- It’s not the school holidays until you’ve had that first pool day!!!!!
- Ahhh, when the humidity dissipates with a megadose of rain.
- Our staycation begins.
- And I’m still here with the view.
- Sundays spent with family and friends in the sun. Feeling fortunate that the pandemic hadn’t taken these away from me.
- A surreal day in the city today. It was so very quiet on a Monday.
- Back at work and back at school.
- Just like that, so many problems found themselves solutions. I feel unknotted.
- Even my forehead is exhausted. And there’s the drive home yet to conquer.
- ‘Among Us’ apparently, it’s an online game that’s the next big thing. Googling to decide if 7-year-olds can safely play. There’s always something new with this parenting thing.
- Centennial Park was in full spring mode today.
The brilliant blooms there gave shade (and then some) to the grey skies above.
- A busy but lovely Sunday. My cup is full (as is the fridge and freezer) ahead of another hectic week.
- Master SSG’s homework got me thinking and reminiscing about technology at school when I was his age.
So much has changed. I should feel older than I do!!
- Forgot to bring my bathers to the pool today.
Silver lining moment, though. I found a new pair which make me think of Hawaii and poolside drinks. Can’t wait for this summer’s staycation.
- And boom!
My work computer has gone from Windows 7 … to Windows 10!! Hello, 2020.
- High carb crumbed fish meet your low carb lettuce leaf ‘roll’!
- Happy World Champagne Day(s)!
Google tells me the day extends into tomorrow so I’ll be celebrating then.
- A satisfying afternoon in the great indoors tightening the screws in the seats of my dining chairs.
- Happy Grandparents Day. We rang mum Perth to wish dad and her well. We also took a trip down memory lane for a school project.
- Caitlin Moran, thank you for being my new Audible mentor.
It’s not every day I get to have so many laugh out loud moments on my drive to work.
- Sometimes, only a DIY sausage sizzle for dinner is the only thing that hits the spot.
- A day for curlig up with a find from your latest trip to the library.
I’ve rediscovered The Famous Five with Master SSG this month.
- My Christmas and New Year’s leave request is in!!!!!!
- And we’re back to the gloomy weather. Just in time for the weekend. Yay.
- Never mind, we won’t be out trick or treating tonight after all. It’s been a dark and stormy kind of day.
All the reason I needed, really, to switch on my Halloween lights at 8am just so I could gaze at them twinkling throughout the day….
