What a week of contrasts this week was!
Highlights included watching the Queensland Ballet performance of Peter and the Wolf, with my Mum:
Followed, of course, by axe-throwing:
And finishing the week at Kiya’s birthplace – Murgon.
Unfortunately, poor Rex ended up COVERED in burrs. Long-haired fur and spiky burrs? Not the best combination. Poor love!
Here’s hoping your week was memorable for all the right reasons, dear Reader!

I started the week with meetings and deadlines. And ended in Sydney with chameleon socks, capybaras and Cats.
First, the deadlines:
Then the work began in earnest:
And then the fun:
What a week! I hope your halfway-through-2025-mark was just as wonderful, dear Reader!

So our new(ish) German Shepherd pup, Rex, is learning from my kelpie, Kiya. “We sit next to the doorway but don’t enter.“ Good, right?
But what if the door is open, and Mum’s walked inside after throwing the tennis ball and we just need to return it to her so she can throw it again?
Problem solved: you stay in the right spot, but roll it toward where Mum is sitting where she’s working. As soon as she looks up, she’ll see it. Yes?
And that’s exactly what happened. Such cute pups! Definitely deserve a photo 🙂
Have a great week yourself, dear Reader!

So Monday was assemblies and Tuesday was Chocolate Chess (7.30am start) through to Instrumental Showcase (finishing at 8pm).
Wednesday 5am was:
Then:
It’s amazing the people you run into!
Then:
Double-decker train!!! To the sister school for a one day conference and Library visit:
Before flying home, and then today playing violin and bass guitar at church and being Bible Reader… and then clearing my inbox! (First time this term!)
PHEW!!! I need a holiday now, I think…!
I hope your week is just as full of memorable events, dear Reader 🙂

51 yesterday.
This weekend has included:
Dinner out on Friday night
Saturday morning with my garden and my dog and then a movie with children 1 and 2
Lunch out with my Mum and child 2, followed by an escape room (where we didn’t succeed in the allotted time and the world exploded so I’m sorry about that everyone!) and a movie with Hubby
And then this morning, breakfast (buffet at Caloundra’s Oak & Vine) with mum, Hubby and all 3 children.
Child 1 and 2 even got to decorate the blackboard there:
Woohoo! Loving these 51st birthday celebrations! Bring on the rest of the day, I say!
Have a wonderful week yourself, dear Reader!

It’s tragic how we stop laughing after childhood. Laughing is so much fun 🙂
So I thought I’d post something that made me laugh this week. It’s clever, and reminds me of my Year 11 Term 1 Film and TV studies with Mrs Bricknell, all those years ago.
I hope you can have a laughter-ful week as well, dear Reader!
I’m sitting in some.
I’m enjoying it.
Considering Queensland is known as ‘the Sunshine State’ and my district is named ‘the Sunshine Coast’ you’d think there’d be a lot of it.
But no, not this year.
We’re the final weekend in May and I think I can count on one hand the number of rain-free weekends we’ve had. But this weekend? Right now?
Loving it!
Here’s hoping the weather is being beautiful for you too, dear Reader!
PS Twelfth Night was AMAZING!!!
I was surprised a few weeks’ back by some titles in my new-to-me Library (I started at the beginning of 2025 but the Library’s been there for decades).
The series is Shakespeare plus modern settings (Star Wars, etc). An interesting find.
This coming Tuesday I’ll be heading to a local school’s production of Twelfth Night… but in a 1980s musical mashup style.
Should be… interesting! I’ll tell you all about it next week. Until then, have a lovely week too dear Reader!
