I wasn’t sure if I could… but Praise God who sustained me to reach this (school holiday) season!!!
Have a wonderful week, dear Reader!

Seriously in love with these boots. I’ve had them a week and they’re fast becoming my new favourite footwear!
They’re fur-lined so it feels like slippers… worn while out and about! And oh so comfortable 🙂
Here’s hoping you have a ‘favourite item’ purchase soon too, dear Reader!

#BlogJune Day 26
“Second star to the right then straight on til morning”
These instructions, given by Peter Pan to Wendy Darling, are the directions to Neverland. And my Miss16 was given the challenge of animating them. “What would be seen by the children (Peter, Wendy and her younger brothers, Michael and John) as – with the help of Tinkerbell the fairy, of course – they fly there from London?”
And this was what she created. By herself, by hand. No AI here, folks!
Enjoy 🙂

Yesterday was a red letter day. I finally succeeeded at something I’d been unable to do: finish dessert at The Pancake Manor.
Eating there is a pleasure I share with my Mum. Not sure why, but whenever we’re in Brisbane for the day we make a point of eating a meal there. And although I ensure my stomach is growling prior to entry, I’d never yet made it through a meal AND dessert due to the huge meal sizes.
So yesterday, Brisbane bound with Miss16, the challenge again was to consume the entire dessert. And we did it!
(Admittedly, we shared one dessert between us, and both of us were wise enough to only order the ‘entree’ sized meal… but we did it!)
And it was DELICIOUS!!! and so decadent 🙂 🙂 🙂
In case you’re intereseted, I had the Chicken crepe (chicken and mushroom filling on a bed of mashed potatoes) and Mum the seafood crepe, and our dessert was the Macadamia Madness. And even now, writing about it, I can feel my tastebuds watering behind the smile playing around my lips.
It was truly a memorable day!
Here’s hoping yours is as well, dear Reader 🙂

#BlogJune Day 18
Back on June 7, I bought Kiya a new toy. Huge, thick. Indestructible, or so I thought.
This morning’s photo shows not only how loved it has been, but also just how wrong I was.
Sigh. Destructo-gurl for the win. Again! You’ve got to admit though, she’s a source of continual amusement 🙂
She loves it. She’s even napping with it, as I write:
(She turned her head to face me, to check out what I was doing, just as I took the photo. lol)
Have an amusing day yourself, dear Reader!

#BlogJune Day 10
So my Miss16 has 6 months left of school. And what does she do? Join in with the Senior Assassin game, of course!
Wear goggles? You’re protected. Floaties on your arms? Also fine. On school grounds (school bus seats included in this definition) or heading to or at your place of work? Also unable to be eliminated.
Anything else? You’re fair game for being eliminated (shot by a water gun, the evidence caught on video) and no longer able to win the hundreds of dollars in prize money awarded to the winning team.
My girl’s latest obsession: looking over her shoulder anywhere we go. Oh, and the goggles wearing, of course.
Let’s see if she’s a few hundred dollars richer by the end of the year!
Have a goggle-free day yourself, dear Reader!

#BlogJune Day 7
Today was a huge day. I turned 50. It was also momentous for my kelpie pup.
1) I did something I never thought I’d do, and bought dog clothing. She’s been cold at night… even Hubby mentioned that she’s not built like our (now passed away) German Shepherds! And
2) I bought her a new toy. And I swear her eyes widened when she first saw it. It’s bigger than she is! Check it out on her bed:
anyway, I hope momentous things (good ones only, of course) happen to you today, dear Reader!

#BlogJune Day 6
This photo does an abysmal job of showing how beautiful my birthday bouquet really is. Nor can it express how divine my whole house smells.
Suffice it to say. I’m a very lucky girl and I love these flowers so much!
Here’s wishing you had a florally day as well, dear Reader!

Better late than never, amiright? Truth be told, it wasn’t until the early hours of June 2 that I decided I was going to do the #blogJune challenge again this year. And 2024’s theme? Daily photo.
So apologies for being several hours late, but here was June the first’s:
Hope your day was similarly festive, dear Reader!
