Week 12

Mar 25th - We've had some wonderful rain lately and everything has 'greened' up so quickly. The grass was cut 6 days ago and look at it now! It is fast grass!


Mar 24th - I love reading - it is my next favourite after scrapbooking. Here are some of the books I have in my bedroom - most I have finished, the rest are awaiting my attention.

Mar 23rd - Gypsy usually disappears during the day and tends to come in at night for a pat and to sleep on the end of our bed! Tonight she was sitting outside just watching ... her eyes are interesting with the flash.

Mar 22nd - After spending most of the day sorting out paperwork, I finally had some very organised files and my office is looking very tidy. I've decided that I need to 'be tidy' and clean up after me and I will gain more time in the long run!


Mar 21st - Boy our weather changes! Only last Saturday we were washed out but this Saturday, the sun is really hot and the wind is just what we need to get the washing dried in no time!


Mar 20th - Rob & I saw 'The Reader' at Cinema Europa followed by dinner at TGI Friday ... of course there is nothing to top off a lovely night together than to wash the car on the way home! very romantic!

Mar 19th - What a wonderful surprise I got this morning! Our poor tree fern really suffered after the February heatwave and I thought we may have lost it - but, with the aid of a regular drink of shower water, here it is, truly blooming! The downpour over the weekend must have been the trigger for it to 'pop out'.

Week 11

Mar 18th - The clock says it all - I am notoriously bad at getting to bed early! Even when I start to get ready for bed at 10.30, I always end up not tucking myself in till closer to midnight - just as well i don't turn into a pumpkin!


Mar 17th - While Grace was at Reach, I got the chance to catch up with my 'boy'. We had dinner on Victoria Street at a quaint little Thai restaurant (I love Thai food). Very tasty - one of the dishes we had was minced pork and preserved eggs ( a greeny brown colour!) - an unusual texture but tasted okay.


Mar 15th - This is my Angel that sits on my bedside table - a present from my beautiful girls who felt I needed some love and care when I was feeling stressed and down. I love her!

Mar 15th - Rob spent all weekend at his workshop (had a lovely time doing my own thing!) When he came home Sunday night he wanted to go out for dinner so we headed to The Sandbelt - a local pub with usually a good meal.


Mar 14th - Finally we have rain! And buckets of it! Netball was washed out this morning - the sky opened just as we were about to get in the car but we still had to go to the courts to sign on so that we could then leave! Bit silly eh! The sky gets black and the rain comes - it's still quite warm though.


Mar 13th - Southland - unfortunately (or fortunately) sometimes it is easier to go to the shopping centre because I can get a few jobs done and different purchases at once. Not really my favourite place though - even though others may disagree!


Mar 12th - I do love the Oreo McFlurry, especially when there are lots of crushed Oreos in it! Just a little dessert treat after a night in Victoria Street with business friends.

Week 10

Mar 11th - Thought I'd better get our accounts into some decent shape - it doesn't pay to leave them to pile up does it! But, there is a feeling of accomplishment when it's all completed! So how do you eat an elephant? One step at a time! That's my goal!


Mar 10th - My first visit to the hairdresser since 2009! I usually leave it to Deb to create what she wants with my hair (hasn't always been a good decision!). This time I've gone darker again, I was so getting used to the summer blonde too!


Mar 9th - Labour Day holiday, a sleep in and then a late lunch with friends in Lygon Street. All finished off with a beautiful gelato - I so love the Lemon gelato best! Lygon Street was very busy today, lots of diners and wanderers.


Mar 8th - A 40th birthday party for a very special woman! Lots of Greek food (heaps actually), copious drink and never ending music (and dancing in circles) - what a celebration!


Mar 7th - I actually got some Scrapbooking done - even finishing a layout I started at a Beginners Class 3 years ago. I also managed to complete a couple of others also! Such a good girl - even got to have coffee with friends after dinner.


Mar 6th - We travelled to Narre Warren for dinner and family catch-up - two beautiful little babies, a cute 2 year old and us 'oldies'. We also had the unexpected surprise of an earth tremor on the side!


Mar 5th - My favourite chocolate place - Koko Black - the hot chocolates are just the best - rich and creamy and very filling! The chocolates are scrumptious too! Not somewhere to go to too often - not very kind to the waistline!

Week 9

Mar 4th - We attended a Rotary Meeting tonight with a presentation from a group of Argentinian nationals - not as boring as I thought it would be. I learnt quite a bit about the country my grandmother was born in. Best part is that they were presented with Essendon paraphanalia! Go Bombers!


Mar 3rd - Yesterday I received this text message on my mobile phone - apparently this is the newest technological innovation our emergency services are using. After the confusion of the Black Saturday bushfires, we are now going to receive these kinds of text messages whenever there is a high chance of an emergency in our state. But luckily, today was not as extreme as predicted.


Mar 2nd - Boxing Circuit today - a new instructor (our other one is on his way up the Queensland coast) and I was stuffed! Lots of punching, push-ups, squats, star jumps (I cheated) and bike riding. Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who found it hard!


Mar 1st - A bleak start to Autumn - pottering around near home doing pickups, drop offs and some shopping.


Feb 28th - Saturday night with Jen & Max - what better way than to sit at MaxCafe Restaurant in Hardware Lane (Melb CBD) eating fresh oysters while listening to the beautiful music from a very talented guitarist.


Feb 27th - The skies looked very grim and grey but it was all in vain because we have still not got any rain. Oh I'd love a cool, moist and wet garden.


Feb 26th - This box is from my past life as a Folk Artist. I've gotten rid of alot of my creations but I do love the vibrance of this box. It holds greeting cards that are special to me.
