Dull and Dreary

We have only 2 days of sunshine in the past 2 weeks - starting to feel soggy and a little bit of cabin fever. I am missing my morning walks with the dog - we are doing a quick one around the block so he can stretch his legs...only taking about 20 minutes at a time, usually we walk for 40-60 minutes every morning!

This is the view from my study just now, the rain has stopped but it has been intermittent and very heavy all day. Sigh!

Today was spent being domesticated, cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, washing and tidying. 10 minutes on the sofa to read my book though was required. I have had a lifelong love of Olivia Newton john, so when I saw this book I had to grab it and I am enjoying it.

Soggy Sydney + Supplies

It has been a dreary few days here in Sydney, the rain has been relentless! I took the boy out for a walk this afternoon when it slackened off a bit, but we both still managed to get drenched. About 20 minutes into the walk he looked up at me as if to say "please take me home right now, crazy lady" - so we headed home to the dry and the warm!

This afternoon on the way to day care pickup, I stopped in at officeworks to grab a few supplies for my Art Journalling experience! There was not a whole lot to choose from but I managed to grab a few yummy bits and pieces.

Wet Day ... Friday... Fun Day!

A stormy afternoon, Miss 3 curled up on the rocking chair watching a DVD, one big dog flopped at her feet, Miss 5 at school....aaah, there is washing to be folded, ironing to be done, an Art Journal class to begin plus a multitude of other choices - but I think a test drive of my new sewing cabinet is the way to while away the next couple of hours before pick up....

Happy Mothers Day To Me!

My present from my beautiful girls and my darling husband, kindly assembled by my lovely father in law who is here visiting from Ireland.

Horn Sovereign Mark II cabinet....my next PIF is sat on top of it about to have some more work done on it!

Needless to say I am very excited and am looking forward to setting all my things up on it and in it and using it going forward.

Happy Mothers Day to you, have a fabuous day. I am looking forward to a relaxing day spending time with the 3 people I love most in the world!
