New (casual wear) shoes purchased. Ladies - there are no excuses to wear daggy old thongs anymore, the espadrille is back and it is looking good. I found these at Seed. Love them!

Morning
It i still raining. It has been over a week with constant rain now and everything is damp and Frida is grumpy because she gets shorter walks.
Australia has BIG weather. When it rains, it RAINS (basically like having a shower), when the sun is shining it is relentless - don't be in it, UV extreme and not good for you! When it's windy it often turns into a storm. So modesty is not on the agenda....
Anyway today we were going to clear out the shed and I had planned to do some gardening. Not happening now and I am planning a day of reading and maybe some yoga in the arvo.... Not so bad after all :) ....
Oh and also, must plan for a dinner that takes hours to do - love having dinner on a Sunday night after the pots have been cooking all arvo....
Views from decking this morning....

Brownies
Productive day.
The day started with a trip to the gym. 5 km furious run then weights. 60 min later - home for brekkie with man.
Then we were ready to get organised:
Massive grocery shopping, medicare visit, new hose and water gun, cleaned house, made brownies.. Then James came to visit which resulted in hours of entertainment and laughs. He is planning to move to Brissie which would be good. It is nice to have old friends around!
At night we made a loooovely prawn curry (red curry paste from scratch) - tunred out to be very hot (due to loads of fresh ginger) but lovely!! The eving ended with a good skype chat to L and R in Cheshire. Now J is on the phone to Mr Fish and I am blogging!!!
Soon book and bed... Sleep well all! x

Australia Day
Good morning and Happy Australia Day!
I always wake up early. I can’t help myself. We have the day off, and decide to sleep in, yet at 5.30 I am up and wide awake. Have spoken to mapa and sis, read some blogs, put on a load of washing, paid some bills.....See you get loads done if you are up when everybody else is sleeping!
Today we were going to go to Southbank for some Aussie celebrations but we have been rained out! It is not happening and now we might even be as un-Australian as this: we are considering spending the day shopping!! J need some shirts and I want to look at some interior details..... I know, not very Aussie like, however with all the rain we have had, I doubt there will be many picnics and bbq around... J has made an effort and bought snags and chicken for a bbq. I have contributed with mini Aussie flags. It is actually not raining right now, so we might go for a drive and if we are lucky we will find an event that has not been cancelled due to the weather...

New house
Frida has got a new house.
Initially she was suspicious. It did not look like her old house and she would not have a bar of it. Then of course she came around and now she loves it.... ! Maybe not the best looking kennel in the world, but it is practical, cool in summer and waterproof.

Wedding
It is again a rainy day. If you have not heard we are facing some really grim weather. It is raining A LOT. Heaven is open and even the dog walker cancelled today. I guess she thinks all the dogs are hiding inside their little kennels....
Anyway i thought I'd cheer you/me up with something as unusual as a photo of ourselves. I don't usually do this, but I do like this picture. We are on holiday's it is L and M's wedding and everyone was happy! Lovely day!
