The things that made me smile this week:
1. A sunny winter's morning at the park.
Centennial Park never fails to work its 'oasis in the city magic' on me every time I visit. It's just a shame I get there so infrequently. Something that needs to change, I think.
Spotted in the most unlikely corner of suburban Sydney. The familiar profile, the red and cold trimmed packaging... my beloved Mozartkugel.
That dark chocolate coated, marzipan filled confection that I discovered in Berlin back in the days when we could travel with relative abandon.
The world felt smaller and more welcoming then, the boundaries of countries porous.
3. A productive morning at Westfield.
It wouldn't have been an Aldi chocolate run without the addition of an item from the middle aisles of plenty to my trolley. These wool-blend hiking socks work a treat with my new hiking boots for the snow later this month.
I finally got the stitch right for this throw I'm making with blanket yarn.
I found some beautiful birthday presents for my nephew and niece. Looking forward to the gifting and then the unwrapping.
I'm wishing I had someone young I could buy that ocean saw it first game for. Now, this is going to come as a shock, but I've never tried Aldi chocolate & I've never really been in the middle aisles...(and in a smaller voice) in fact I've only been to Aldi once. (says it quickly & runs for cover)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great week SSG. Hope this week will be more of the same. #lovin'lifelinky
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the uplifting and regenerative powers of parks, nature, wildlife, the great outdoors! Must admit I have never heard of or tried your favourite chocolate. In fact this post has been quite the confectionary education for me! lol Have a great week SSG. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely week you have had... and aren't those Aldi “special buys” awesome!! You are going ot love those socks!!
ReplyDeleteThose horses look like they are in a quaint highlands town ... there's no way they look like they're in the middle of Australia's biggest city. So pretty!
