What I Did 365 - Day 9

This morning before work I met Aimee for coffee at the local McCafe. We had planned to hit the foreshore, but the forecast here is for stormy showers, so we decided to play it safe! We read a Psalm together and had a really uplifting morning of praying together. When I got home, I found our massive cat Ebony rolling around in the weeds outside, so I played with her for a while before heading inside! She is so cute, I love her! She's like a big furry bear, but somehow still so elegant and graceful!

What I Did 365 - Day 8

Today I've been feeling a little crummy, and soooo tired. I allowed myself the luxury of a sleep-in before racing to eat breakfast, get my uniform on, feed the dogs and pack lunch. I was able to grab a few minutes outside to have a peek at some adorable Christmas crafts though!! I'm Christmas's biggest fan and when I spotted this book on Amazon a couple of weeks ago, I went nuts! To my utter delight, it arrived yesterday - 5 weeks ahead of the estimated arrival time!! Woop! It was so nice to sit out in the yard in my flannel PJs, trying to pick which project I would make first! So happy

What I Did 365 - Day 7

Another starfish photo!! This morning before work, I met with my beautiful friend Aimee at the foreshore. It was so cold, but she had the cleverness to bring a blanket! It was a really lovely time of sharing, reading and praying together. Another wonderful way to start the day, in fact we've decided to do it again Wednesday! After Aimee headed off for work, I squeezed in a 20-minute walk. Once again, the beach was littered with little starfish - I even picked one up, assuming it was dead, only to find it waving its little tentacles at me! The starfish pictured above though is the biggest I've ever seen in my life! I wonder how old it was before it washed up on the shore?

What I Did 365 - Day 6

Happy Sunday!! Today I enjoyed a picnic lunch at the beach with my besties, Kat and Hatti. Best girls to spend a Sunday afternoon with! We 'tanned', ate pineapple and even braved the water for a few minutes (soooo cold!) before deciding that the wind was just too much, and retiring to The Merchant for Pepsi Max. I've pretty much been the biggest, laziest blob since the afternoon... something about lying in the sun I think! Sigh.

What I Did 365 - Day 5

Today was an amazing, busy Saturday - just the way I like it! Chris and I decided to start the day at the foreshore - after a half-hour walk/jog, we stopped at Y2K for breakfast. I got the bircher muesli with loads of fruit and yoghurt... isn't it beautiful??? We also visited the import candy store, gazed at property listings (not moving! Just dreaming!), browsed the thrift store, AND bumped into Kat and Andrew! Yay! It was such a perfect morning. I feel a new Saturday morning tradition coming on....

What I Did 365 - Day 4

If Chris looks tired in this picture (which he does!) it's because I forced him out of bed at 6.15am this morning so he could join me at the foreshore for a tasty McDonalds breakfast! Chris normally leaves for work super early, so we don't really get mornings together. But today he's taken the day off, so I thought I'd make the most of it before I headed to the office for the day! He's so good to me...!!

What I did 365 - Day 3

Two garden pictures in a row! I'm dreaming of having a gorgeous, flower-filled garden and as part 1 of this MASSIVE project, I've been sloooowly developing a patch of garden along a wall in our weed-infested yard. This morning before work I laid down some soil improver in a new spot and planted some flowers that have been waiting in their nursery pots for way too long! This guy's looking a bit scraggly, but I'm hoping he'll forgive me...
