Oh gosh lovelies the weekend came and went that so doesnt happen often and it was a good weekend. I can’t stress how awesomely good it was but then I think it goes hand in hand with my new ‘attitude’ I found since not working out side the home and going back to working inside the home, whole other post. But anyway today is a rainy, cold Autumn day and yet I am about to get myself together and go for a swim in the heated pool in town.
We climbed a mountain yesterday- we so did- it was only 4.3kms long round trip but had a summit of 1017 I know doesn’t sound like much however much of it was literally vertical with ropes to help pull yourself up. Awesome it was, however, my kids bounded up; the youngest literally running most of the way while I wanted to vomit at various points. That feeling of being unfit made me so cross with myself. I have always regarded myself as rather fit and so we are stepping it up a further notch and missing the gym because of class readings the heated pool will do.
So in saying all that these are the things running through my head.
1. Last week was my last week working outside the home and as much as I loved working be it with avocados I’m glad to be home. Inside baking cakes, writing, cleaning weet bix off the wall and all that glamorous stuff. Ask me in three weeks and I’m not sure my answer will be the same.
2. I had dinner with friends on Friday night. They brought wine. I had to borrow more wine from my neighbour. The dramas of a nonish drinker and the embarrassment of assuming that they were because they never mentioned they did.
3. AM back to writing my menu plans its madras lentils, roast chook with lemon and garlic, minute steaks, mushroom risotto and the week wouldn’t be complete without spag bol now would it.
4. I’m going to Darwin next week my father’s sister is visiting there. She has never been out of New Zealand, and so they haven’t seen each other for 22 years. She wants to surprise him she thinks it’s great I do believe he might have a heart attack.
5. I have started watching Penny Dreadful that’s as thrilling as my evenings are at the moment.
6. I want to be as snappy as her when Im 90 years old here.
7. We are go getters so naturally how to stay fit and healthy as one. Here.
8. If you use facebook then you need to follow these guys here.
9. I started writing my life to my boys in these journals here and I could have just prinnted these but as keepsakes this is more special.
10. Cried and cried . A mum stands in for her son at prom because of a car crash. Here.
