It was bound to happen at some point, yes?
At least, being librarian, I have books to keep me company when I’m not sleeping…
See you next week, dear Reader…

As in: yes, I’m having a pizza party 🙂
The winners of our various Book Week competitions won themselves tickets… so this coming Tuesday at Morning Tea will be the final ever Book Week 2025 event.
Meaning that life can get back to its pre-Book Week normalcy; including watching Top Gun: Maverick, Live in Concert yesterday. And it was REALLY COOL!
Here’s wishing you a really cool week too, dear Reader!

I did the big car-trip-weekend with my Miss 20 back when she was on her Learner license. Then again with Miss 17 earlier this year.
This weekend it’s been Master 16’s turn. Not Yeppoon, nor Agnes Waters, but this time it was to Emu Park… in the rain!
Back on the Sunshine Coast it was forecast to pour all weekend. And my boy drove through over 4 hours of it. But by the time we got to Rockhampton, there were blue skies above us. And check out the amazing photo he took when we finally arrived at Emu Park!
Oh, what a privilege it is to be spending such quality time with my cherubs and watching them learn to drive at the same time.
I love it! Thank you, Lord, for my children!
Have a blessed week yourself, dear Reader 🙂

31/52 cold
You know those cold-blooded animals which need to be at a certain temperature to be able to move?
I think that’s me.
When my core body temperature lowers, my brain slows… and slows… and… s… l… o… w… s…
My body gets numb (probably my Raenaud’s syndrome has something to do with this) and all I think about is getting warm again; warm enough to function.
There are people living a few hours south of me who are waking up to snow this morning… the first time in 24 years it’s snowed. So really, I have nothing to complain about. Especially when, even though it was cloudy and drizzling when Hubby and I started walking the dogs this morning, by the end it was like this:
Bring on summer, I say 🙂
Have a lovely day and week, dear Reader!

My day today:
Miss20’s first time driving my beautiful VW beetle. It’s a 51 year old car and she wasn’t expecting it to be so primitive. She also learned what power steering is, by discovering what driving is like without any!
Then it was Master16’s turn in our usual kid-learning-to-drive car; and then Miss17 for the rest of the afternoon.
I feel well and truly driven today!!!

29/52 and I’m a week late
But that’s because last Sunday I was at work, after a trip to Bunnings which was after church which was after music practice for church. And Saturday was work, then a friend’s fundraising high tea then my mother in law’s 80th then more time with my parents, after entertaining our neighbours on Friday night. Phew!
This weekend: simpler. My Dad’s 85th birthday lunch yesterday then shopping with my eldest. Today was church then driving with my youngest and now washing the dogs. But before church? This;
What a way to start the morning, huh?
I hope you’ve had beautiful weeks / weekends too, dear Reader!

27/52 wolf, axes, burrs
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!
