Happy New (seasonal) Year, dear Reader!
I hope today and the rest of the year, right through to the last day of Winter, 2025, are wonderful for you!

#BlogJune Day 22
Today was meant to be a shopping morning, followed by a party tonight.
But Miss16 decided that shopping could wait for another day, so it was ‘just relax at home’ before party instead.
De-cluttering happened. Organising happened. Numbers of Gilmore Girls episodes happened, and now I’m with Kiya in her favourite spot. And I have to agree with her, it’s one of my favourite spots too.
Here’s wishing a relaxing day for you too, dear Reader!

12/52 On what to do about gray…
It’s been raining the past few days. Gray. Miserable. Miss16 caught a chill, as you do, so is sniffling around the house. It’s cool, but not yet cold enough that the mosquitoes have disappeared, and the drizzle helps increase their numbers so any venturing outside is fraught with risk. It’s dull weather. Gray. Uninspiring.
And then I saw this:
And it immediately sparked a smile. What a brilliant idea this was! The person who came up with this, didn’t get paid enough. I mean, how amazing would it be, to be surrounded by gray and misery, where everything around you is dull and wet and uncomfortable, and your head is down because you’re huddling under an umbrella or raincoat… and then, to see such fantastic colourful scenery! It’d be enough for me to change my daily walk to and from work, just to see it, I think!
Even the thought of its being there, brightening up the rain-soaked streets in South Korea, is enough to make me smile over here in rain-soaked Queensland.
Have a bright, non-gray week 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!

Happiness! Breakfast and this view 🙂
What a blessed way to finish blogging for 2020, am I right?
See you in the New Year, dear Reader. And may God shower you with His richest blessings today 😀

I’m rather proud of myself – that title up there tells me I’ve almost made it! A years’ worth of ‘photo’ posts… for someone who HATES posting the photos she takes, this is a pretty good achievement, even if I do say so myself.
So this week’s photo was the surf at Rainbow Beach – where the family and I stayed last week. So beautiful, so peaceful, so needed (after the tumult that was the 2019 academic year!) and just wonderful.
How about you, dear Reader? What was ‘wondrous’ in your life this week?

And… I’m back into my routine again!
Oh routine, how I love you!
How about you, dear Reader? Any routines you miss when they’re absent?

Last week’s photo showed one of my favourite places: this week’s is another. Kings Beach has a outdoor community swimming pool, built next to natural rock pools my cherubs love to explore.
This was Miss10 and Master9 the other week:
And check out the crowd on the beach behind them! It was a sweltering day – that photo was taken around 10am.
Have a great week, dear Reader 🙂

Done and dusted.
Phew! What a term! Glad it’s over.
and I’m ecstatic that this just so happens to be my view right now…
[and it’s only just now I remembered I hadn’t posted the photo yet… whoops!]
Have a wonderful week yourself, dear Reader!
