How did we get to the last month of summer so quickly?
  1. A takeaway coffee at noon on a Monday? 

    Yes please.

  3. Swimming carnival day for Master SSG.  Full points for pluck and giving it a go.  Our children really are our inspiration.
  4. A busy day and a busy night.  Thank goodness it’s Friday tomorrow.
  5. Friday afternoon grocery shopping.  Made for people with more stamina than I have right now.  I reckon it’s going to take me weeks to build up to getting that second wind for the Friday afternoon grocery run.
  6. Beef Bourguignon made with herbs from the garden.  Domestic Goddess moments are good for the soul.

  11. What glorious weather!  Lucky to have caught a bit of sunshine whilst I was out and about for work today.
  12. Happy Lunar New Year! 

    Noodles for dinner and not a stitch of housework to be done.  Both for good luck purposes, of course.

I knew you’d see it my way.
