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!

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!

I watched ‘Christopher Robin’ this week. You know, the Ewen McGregor one?
I had the time and not much energy and not enough headspace to get work done, and it was there.
I was hoping for some light entertainment, maybe a return to the fond memories of when I’d watch animated films with my children (The Tigger movie etc).
And boy, did I get all that – and more! I had not realised how analytical I’ve become… having two daughters in the field of art / animation / films has led to a lot more knowledge than I’d previously had, I guess. And I really LIKED this movie!
But what made it most enjoyable for me, I think, was the voice animations. They were just perfect!
So, a BIG thank you this week to
You made my week!
Have a fond memory-full week yourself, dear Reader!

I’m sitting on the bed in apartment 2B in a hotel in the township of Agnes Water. It’s 7.37am and I’ve just returned from a beach walk with Miss17, who drove for nearly 6 hours yesterday to get us here – part of the mission to get her to 100 hours as per our state’s requirements of learner drivers.
A bush turkey has just walked past the door. The books on the shelves are inspirational. Original copies, not pre-loved library ones, and classics. Good taste, I think, as I wonder if the titles are replicated in all apartments in the hotel… or if we just lucked in due to the apartment number.
There’s legit two bees on the room number plaque too, which is also pretty cool.
But the thing making me happiest right at the moment? That I can sit and write. It’s been a month of either busy-ness or lack of internet coverage, and the fact that this is the first I can actually update my blog with words rather than just photos is SO incredibly satisifying. I’ve missed it, dear Reader, and that also makes me smile.
So. I hope you’ve been well, as I have, and that you find things (a bookshelf, a room number plaque, a bird, time with one of your loved ones) to make you as happy today as I am.
Have a blessed week, dear Reader!

I’m getting ideas for new furniture in my library. A colleague has these, and they’re comfier than they look! What do you think?
Hubby also finally collected his new car – 3 weeks after he was expecting to! I think he likes it – and the doggos in the back are pretty darn cute too!
And with my brother in the country, it was family pic day today.
Yes, Kiya is one of the family!
Have an amazing, photo-worthy week yourself, dear Reader!
