Lovin’ Life 23/8/2018: This Weather, We’re Loving It.


My excitement for spring is building with each of these August weekends that pass.  It’s this weather. I can’t get enough of it.

The bare branches overhead don’t look so bleak now that they’re framed by blue and dare I say it, warmish skies.

It’s a lovely time the year to be a morning person.

I discovered a new (to me) cafe in Potts Point called Coffee, Tea and Me.   Sadly our favourite spot Marcelle up the road in Kings Cross appears to have closed for good and its premises are up for rent.

Coffee, Tea and Me is a rough diamond dressed in shabby chic.

The floor length front windows offered me a glimpse of the area’s famed Art Deco residences and apartment blocks and my mind couldn’t help but drift off into a daydream about the chic and artistic people who’ve been living in the area since those buildings first appeared.

 My coffee ready, it was time to return to 2018 and its obsessions with protein balls….

99 Problems and Jordan Game 6 are among the intriguing names for the versions sold at Coffee, Tea and Me.  I’ll have to google the Jordan reference. 

I’m back.  Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals was Jordan’s last game with the Chicago Bulls and their victory remains the stuff of legend.

Closer to home, my love affair with a local legend is still going strong.  Bowen’s, your bacon and egg rolls and my post run appetite are a match made in heaven and we’re going to be together pretty much forever.

This weather also never fails to set off the ‘glass half full’ centre of my brain.  To my mind, when I walk around under this sun, I feel as if I’m on holiday and not simply working through the weekend to do list.

Master SSG is feeling the love for the winter sun to a similar degree.

He’s mastered the flying fox at Tumbalong Park and he’s showing an interest in tennis.

There’s a couple of things he could teach his mother a thing or two about.

How’s the weather where you are right now?

Looking forward to it warming up?
