oh happy day!

   When the call came down the line that my bathroom and pantry handmade Italian floor tiles were here, I did my little dance and sang oh happy day! Aren’t they gorgeous? Hopefully by the end of next week they’ll be in place.

ducks and cakes

    Yesterday my daddy turned 64. My mum said he came downstairs in the morning singing…will you still need me, will you still feed me when I’m 64! I hope to have that kind of attitude when I turn 40 let alone 64! Bravo papa! In other news, the ducks at my parents’ house where in need of some water after the lining in the pond tore, so the whole family decided to help. Georgie as usual insisted on holding the hose and checking the whole situation was under control.     Erm, even the cat seemed interested???? Looks more like he wants that camera OUT OF HIS FACE!  Twas a beautiful evening. Georgie loved being outdoors, as usual and my soon-to-be home is finally taking form. Makes me so excited about moving there…    Plus I get to see this crazy bunch all the time!

I’m gonna miss this place

   Enjoying the cool breeze on our veranda, watching the world go by. Makes me realize I’m gonna miss this place when we move. So MANY MANY wonderful things have happened to me here. Major incidents. But it’s the little everyday happenings and details that have made up my life over the last six years.   These girls take the same route everyday at the same time, chattering away. They make me smile.   My I♥NY coffee mug from my first trip to the most utterly fascinating city i have visited. The cactuses have been there way before that. They were the first greens I brought into the apartment. SIX YEARS ago!   I swear I’m even gonna miss our road.   Thankfuly this part of my years lived in the apartment will be coming with. x

friday: food friends music

   Before Georgie was born, Friday nights were very often spent at S’s. She’d cook, I’d bake and the boys would enjoy. The last time we kicked back with a Corona and laughed the night away took place one month before I gave birth so it was really about time we got together. S has recently spent some hard-earned cash on sprucing up her apartment and she’s done an amazing job, don’t you think?   The  boys were so thoughtful bringing a present for the hostess…   …even though it was wrapped in pink (ahem) newspaper…   …and MORE pink newspaper!   I couldn’t help but laugh! She’d been unwrapping forever. Goodnight! x
