Life This Week 5/11/2018: Share Your Snaps.


I love that it’s ‘November Already‘.  Summer is definitely in the air.  Celebration planning is well under way.  I feel as if we’ve all worked so hard these last ten months that we’re entitled to enjoy these final two months.  
To that end, I am happy to report that my snaps this week are all happy ones!
Let’s take a look….

We followed the masses to Bondi Beach for Sculptures by the Sea.

The lure of that stunning beach was almost too much for us at one point but we pulled ourselves in the opposite direction to begin the walk that would take us through a diverse collection of art installations.

There was something for everyone to ponder or Instagram.

The backdrop of the ocean and the cliffs gave each work an otherworldly appearance.

Unexpected sculptures were our reward for looking closely into the rocks and vegetation on the non ocean side of the path.

Cats stretched on the rocks over there while an upcycled old microwave could be seen in a little nook in the rock that seemed almost made for it.  A kind of natural kitchen nook.

The whole walk is a couple of kilometres long and while most adults could happily walk its length (even with the Saturday morning crowd), it was too much for Master SSG.

He begged to be taken to Icebergs so that he could have a look at the pool and dream of when he’d be old enough to swim there on his own.

I had 13 minutes of enforced ‘me time’ the following morning.  

I was 13 minutes early for the supermarket so I had no choice but to sit quietly as I sipped my coffee and did absolutely nothing.  I didn’t even stress about potentially running late on account of this little delay at the shops.  That’s the power of November for you.

All good, I know that 1 is dodgy…  But isn’t the 7 relatively legible?
Do you write your ‘7’ with a line through it?  As a person with very bad handwriting, it’s been a must for me to make a clear difference between my ‘1’ and ‘7’.  Google tells me this is a quirk of European and South American countries.  Which possibly explains why Master SSG told me that my lined ‘7’ ‘destroys’ the number.  He might have picked that up that exact phrase from school.

I love the diversity November brings to my fruit bowl.  Mango cheeks after dinner make me feel as if I’m on a resort somewhere instead of winding down from a long day and preparing for the one to follow.

Invites are done and ready to email for Master SSG’s sixth birthday party.

I spent $15 on limes to make Bake, Play, Smile’s Easy Lime Slice.  So worth it, though.

And we’ve packed all the essentials for our road trip for a weekend in the Blue Mountains.  Champange not pictured.
Do you love November more than the 10 months that precede it?
