So my middle child – Miss12 – has 3 days left until she’s exactly halfway through Year 8. That’s halfway through Middle School.
And my youngest, Master11, just received his letter of confirmation into the same High School as his sisters for next year.
Man – time is flying!
(And yes, I am deliberately NOT thinking about Miss15 driving in just 7 months…!)
Have a speedy day yourself, dear Reader… should you wish it to be, that is!

Recently I’ve been re-reading Eoin Colfer’s ARTEMIS FOWL series. Wow, but they’re good!
Now, Disney released the Artemis Fowl movie late last week. I don’t have Disney Plus, so can’t watch it. And I was spitting chips because even Dame Judy Dench is in it! Although numbers of reviews I’ve read today were in shock at how butchered the storyline was, so perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise?
Anyway, here’s wishing you a butcher-free day today, dear Reader!
So it looks like the rain has set in… meaning our fireplace wood is wet 🙁
But… apparently it was Winter Solstice yesterday. Which was good because I don’t like the cold. At all. So the days are getting longer again, and the weather warming up – this is a good thing for me!
Have a warm day yourself, dear Reader!
Guess what I’ve had the pleasure of looking at all weekend…
Aren’t they beautiful!!!
Hubby knew I’d had a tough week, so brought these home for me on Friday evening.
Definitely a keeper 🙂

I found this on my Facebook feed last night and reposted it.
It was exactly 12 months since the inciting incident that made my life what is is today. The impetus for the most amount of pain I’ve ever felt – but to reflect, 12 months down the track, on the fact that I’m here, on the other side? It’s joyous.
Thank you, Lord!
Here’s praying you have an overcoming day today yourself, dear Reader 🙂
PS And boy! Am I glad I’ll never have to have that anniversary again 😀 😀 😀
Check out this sign Miss12 showed me the other day – you might want to zoom in…
Now *that’s* clever marketing. (If you’re wondering – that’s not ‘roast’ duck under the third stream of gravy!)
Have a surprising day yourself, dear Reader 🙂

One thing I’ve noticed about me recently- my eyesight is SHOCKING! I think I’ve just been doing so much staring at computer screens, I’ve done irreversible damage. Which is sad.
On the up-side, these glasses I bought at Rainbow Beach a few years ago might look a little strange (I think the orange-and-blue colour scheme screams ‘$15 chemist-bought reading glasses) but they’re SO easy to read with and they don’t cause headaches 🙂
Plus, I really rather like the colour orange!
Have a blessed day yourself, dear Reader!

Found this on my Fb feed recently and showed it to Miss15. She loved it – because this is *exactly* where we are at right now!
Have a friend-ful day yourself, dear Reader!
The first 5 weeks of this current school term was hard – but what I love about my workplace is that everyone pulls together. As in, Day 2 of ‘online learning’ we received a special delivery of hand-made and hand-decorated cookies made by the children of a school family.
And the school contributed $5 per person for whatever they wanted from a coffee/food van they organised to have on-site on a weekly basis…
Just fantastic!
But it was good when the students returned. I missed them!
I hope your day is a surprising one too, dear Reader!
It was back in early March when my older brother told me about Dr John Campbell, a retired British nurse educator who was analysing the COVID19 pandemic in daily YouTube updates. My brother waxed lyrical on how good Dr John was, so I checked it out when I found the time.
And I was an instant conversion. March 8 was the first video I watched, and WHOA it was good! Simple, clear, factual information that like of which we weren’t getting from politicians or news media alike. And haven’t since, I must admit.
If you have 20 minutes to spare, check it out. IMHO, it’s worth your while!
And have a safe day today, dear Reader 🙂
