Friday Thoughts #12
What? Is it already Friday? It was Anzac Day on Tuesday, and Hubby took Monday off so we could get some jobs done around the home. We had a big box of bits and pieces from the various appliances installed in the apartment, and we went through that to work out what we needed to…

My Bi-yearly Wardrobe Check-Up Part 1
A few years ago, I started doing bi-yearly wardrobe check-ups, once in spring and once in autumn, which means I was due one this month. While my wardrobe isn’t as minimalist as Elisabeth’s, I try to run a fairly tight ship. This was by choice previously, but now that we’ve moved into an apartment, this…

Last month I posted about the caterpillas living on my citrus trees. When we came home from Wilson’s Prom most of them had disappeared and I couldn’t find any chrysalis so I guess they were eaten by predators. There were two caterpillas left, one disappeared about a week later and then I was left with…

We have had so much rain here lately. It poured most days over Easter, which made for a very lazy weekend. We were down with my parents, and some siblings and nephews and nieces were there too. Arriving home I did a big load of washing on Tuesday and hung it out to dry, but…

I had plans … for some runs, photography, and celebrating my niece’s third birthday. Unfortunately, I began to feel unwell at about…

I had a substantial mid-month motivation slump, so I didn’t move forward quite the way I would have liked this month, but I managed to pull myself together and get a few things done. Daily Routines: I’m still doing the Lectio365 app…

It’s been a week since I posted here … oops. I’ve been wondering if the email for replies to comments is working. If you’ve received a email when I’ve replied to your comment can you let me know below? When I run alone on easy or long runs, I usually listen to a podcast and…

Friday Thoughts #7
This summer has been cooler than usual. We haven’t had any days over 40C, and when the temperature finally reaches 30C, the heat is followed quickly by a cool change. That has changed this week; after a very cold week last week (some days didn’t even make it over 20C), we are now on our…

Looking Backward, Looking Forward – January 2023
Reviewing my progress in January, setting my intentions for February: I spent a couple of weeks with my parents at their house in Point Lonsdale. The girls also stayed down until mid-January. My siblings we down with their families for some of the time too. The summer holidays are usually when we spend the most…

Friday Thoughts #6
From the Red Hand Files: If we do not attend to the work of projecting delight upon the world, what are we actually doing? If we do not look for joy, search for it, reach deep for it, what are we saying about the world? Are we saying that malevolence is the routine stuff of…
