Catching up….

As usual the week was full of lots of lovely walks to the lake. One day I went at 5.30am so was able to enjoy a stunning sunrise.

We also had a lot of rain this week, which was great for the veggie garden.

Christy was still home sick. But we finally got an answer what is wrong with her and she has now started on anti-biotics.

There was a dentist visit for all of us. Amy came out the best, with Christy coming in second. She does have a hole in one tooth, but it’s a baby tooth that will fall out soon.

There was a trip out along my favourite road to drive along.

Where I pulled over I even managed to find a thistle. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one here in Australia!

The destination on this drive was to pick up more uniforms for the kindy fittings we did this week.

On Friday it was back to the doctors for Christy as a follow up to see how she’s doing to repeat some tests.

Finally by the end of the week I found signs she was starting to feel better.

The pups scored big time when I found some out of date meat when I was cleaning out Mum’s fridge for her.

And Bailey disgraced himself when he (with Rosie’s help) ate a whole packed of biscuits.

And when e got home on Satuday (blog post to come) they had dug up part of my veggie garden – luckily it was the one part with hardly any plants (I think I only lost 1 or 2).

The week that was

Okay, it’s been a crazy busy week, with another one coming up, so I thought I’d do a “week that was” post. Hope you don’t mind.

It was the week of lots of lovely early morning walks, except for the two days that it rained…

It was the week I finally found some time to sit out by the pool and soak up some rays….

IMG_7486.jpg

and enjoy my daily salad….

IMG_7290.jpg

It was the week I had Christy home sick again, and not one, but two visits to the doctors…

IMG_7280.JPG

Thankfully we finally have a doctor (our usual doc is overseas) who said “something is wrong. We need to find out what it is” and ordered some different tests.

It was the week I bought this cute flamingo top (after an online friend told me about it)….

IMG_7310.jpg

And it was the week I saw this crazy fact….just 40 days till Christmas!!!….

IMG_7293.jpg

It was the week I did some multi-tasking – youtube and my momento album…

IMG_7231.jpg

and it was the week Amy & I went up to Sydney to visit with my Mum, who is back in hospital and not doing well.

IMG_7513.jpg

It was the week of a side trip over to Bondi to get some cute Christmas stockings….

IMG_7517.JPG

We also got to visit Typo…

IMG_7523.JPG

and I found the canvas I had been looking for, but was no longer available at my local typo. Love it!!

IMG_7333.jpg

It was the week I noticed all the shopping centers were all decorated for Christmas…

IMG_7529.JPG

and it was the week Rosie enjoyed her first cup of tea. It had gone cold so Kevin gave some to Rosie – she loved it!!!!

Would you like some more puppy photos?

This is Bailey’s “please take me in the car” face…

Lunch at the temple

IMG_7369.JPG

On Saturday Kevin, Amy & I went to the Nan Tien Temple. It’s just 10mins away from home but it’s been some time since we last visited. Christy still wasn’t feeling well so wanted to stay home.

IMG_7370.JPG

It was  REALLY hot day out but it was good to be out enjoying the lovely day.

IMG_7372.jpg

IMG_7374.JPG

First stop was the Dew Drop Inn for some lunch. Even though they had added some new items to the menu, I just ordered the mince & rice like I always do.

IMG_7376.JPG

With a chai latte, of course. So good!!!

IMG_7381.JPG

After lunch we took a stroll around the lotus pond, which is not yet in flower….

and then up to the temple, where I took too many photos as normal.

If you’d like to see more of my day, which also included a date with Kevin, be sure to check out my day in my life vlog.

My week so far…

IMG_7145.JPG

I’ve been rather busy this week, which is why I haven’t been around much. I’ve been taking my daily walk with the pups, plus doing another workout (either cardio or weights) most days.

IMG_7166.jpg

On Monday morning just one of Mum’s flowers was opened, today I noticed they all were (but forgot to take a photo).

IMG_7085.jpg

IMG_7087.jpg

There has been lots of jobs done around the house, including the cleaning of both girls rooms….

IMG_7309.JPG

IMG_7310.JPG

the dropping off of donations…don’t worry we didn’t donate Bailey…

IMG_7133.jpg

 

and the packing up of the Halloween decor…so sad I won’t see it for another 11 months :-(. On the plus side I’ve already put out a few of my more neutral Christmas decorations.

IMG_7173.jpg

Christy is still off sick – the doctor just said she’s been unlucky to pick up another virus. And since I’ve been home all week (with the exception of Uniform shop and grocery shopping), I’ve spent extra time hanging out with my two mates.

Here’s Rosie under my desk as I do some filing.

And this is what happens when you eat dinner on the couch….

Hope you’re having a great week. Any plans for the weekend? I’m not sure what we’re up to – depends on if Amy has friends over for school work, and Kevin has to work on Sunday. I do plan to work on my Germany momento album as there is another 20% off sale and I want to get it ordered.
