Recharging The Batteries!

Hello everyone out there in blogland! I hope you’ve had a great week. Mine has gone by in a bit of a blur & I find myself at Friday again … how does that keep happening?! 😜 On the positive side (cos we should always accentuate the positive! 😉) part of the reason for the week speeding by was that last weekend was a long weekend for ANZAC Day., so fewer work days … YAY! 🤣 

It was pretty tough to come home after our mini-holiday … for the first time in months GB & I both felt like we stopped the hamster wheel & got to take a breath. I thought I’d share a few more pics of our adventures with you. We had purposely NOT made a lot of plans because the main aim of the weekend was to relax, but I had been so looking forward to catching up with a gorgeous stitching buddy who recently moved to one of our favourite towns, Montville …

Here’s the GAWJUS Gail & yours truly. 😁 We spent hours chatting over copious cups of peppermint tea & listening to the rain … yes … our beach-visit-bring-the-rain record now stands at 99%! 🤣

Yep … it rained on & off ALL weekend. 🤣 Not that it stopped our adventures … we’re too used to wet weather beach trips to let it deter us. 😜 Sunday saw us venture forth to do some special hunting & gathering …

A quick stop at Diablo Co distillery to buy some grown up ginger beer (alcoholic ginger beer we first discovered a couple of years ago), followed by a visit to the fresh seafood market …

… (don’t let the snippet of blue sky fool you! It only cleared a bit for about 15 minutes! 😝) and we had …

… Dinner! YUMMO! 😋 We also tried to enjoy …

… Nibblies on the balcony to enjoy the view, but had to abort due to gale force winds … you know it’s pretty bloody windy when your crackers start blowing off the plate! 🤣😂 A lovely break … even if we found it VERY hard to make ourselves come home at the end of it. 😝 Big thanks to my Aunt & Uncle for letting us crash their unit while they were away. 😊

Another long weekend here in Queensland this weekend … three in a row!! As much as I love the extra sleep-ins, it’s not half messing with my ability to keep track of what day it is! Tee! Hee! Hee! No travels for us this weekend, though. Just playing catch-up with the grown up chores at home, but intending to sneak in some reading & designing time. 😉 OPAMers … another month has almost run out, so update your sidebar lists & email your tallies through … don’t forget there’ll be a double draw for March & April finishes. Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope it includes some fun stuff. Take care, stay safe, keep stitching & keep smiling. 😊 Til next time …

BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!
