I didn’t twig that last Friday (the 25th) was the last Friday in July so I missed posting this. Oh well. I’m going ahead with it today. What have been your recent highlights?

Wales Day 1: Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon)
I’m picking up the daily recaps from our trip to the UK. Friday May 2nd 2025 Hiking Mount Snowdon was a must do for us while we were in Wales, so we planned 6 nights in a central North Wales accommodation so that we would have maximum chance of a day with decent weather. G…

Labour Day Weekend
We had our Labour Day public holiday yesterday, so I went with the girls down to my parents’ house at Point Lonsdale for the weekend. My sisters also went down, and a nephew and his girlfriend were also down, staying next door at my brother’s place. On Sunday, we had a lunchtime celebration for my…

It doesn’t take long …
for the garden to get out of control again. You wouldn’t know that I’d tidied it all up for Christmas. G has been home but has not been tending the garden. Besides some well-past-best snowpeas and the weeds, I’m pretty happy with how it has grown, considering their neglect. We arrived home Saturday, and it…

Multi-Day Hiking – My Thoughts So Far
Earlier this year, we did the Three Capes Walk in Tasmania, a four-day walk on the Tasman Peninsula. I’ve just finished my recaps: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4. This was our second multi-day hike. We did the Overland Track in 2022, and I loved it so much I couldn’t wait to…

Good Things Friday
Dinner Party “Have my school friends over” is on my list, and I am happy to report that it happened on Friday night. G was away in Noosa with his school friends, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to have my school friends over for dinner. I reconnected with two of them at…

Hiking @ Ferny
I’ve mentioned before that my husband has moved to a 4-day work week and I work casual hours from home, so some weeks we can do some fun things during the week. Last Friday I wanted to hike, and G had been wanting to take me up to Ferny to show me the running trail…

In The Garden – December 2023
This has been a year-long project where I photograph our garden each month. The garden is still sporting some thigh-high weeds that grew up while we were away but I’ve got a fair bit of it weeded and I gave the Myoporum a massive haircut today. I thought it might be fun to compare with…

In The Garden – November 2023
It’s now the 30th of November here, so the end of NaBloPoMo. I just checked my number of posts for November and there are twenty-seven, this post makes twenty-eight and I just found two that didn’t post on schedule. I think WordPress may not have liked my multiple time zone changes. So today you get…
