WITL: Monday, 1st May
I’ve done a few of these “Week in the Life” at different stages in my life. I’m in a funny stage right now. During the pandemic years, I finished studying, my 2-day staff position at my previous church finished, and as we moved, all my volunteering finished too. My hours at work have also reduced,…

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…

Friday Thoughts #10
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…

We had a long weekend last week and escaped the city to my parent’s place at Point Lonsdale. Most of the extended family crew were going down at some stage over the weekend. I had plans … for some runs, photography, and celebrating my niece’s third birthday. Unfortunately, I began to feel unwell at about…

Looking Forward, Looking Backward – February 2023
Reviewing my progress on my February intentions, and setting my intentions for March. 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…

Friday Thoughts #8
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…
