Loving the winter sunshine!

What a splendid lazy start to the weekend! Loving this winter sunshine!!  I love long walks with the pooch in the winter sunshine...here's my sneaky 'bushwalk' 5 minutes from home...wallabies, lots of birds and lizards and eeeek sometimes dingoes....true story *eeek* I keep a pocket full of gravel to pelt just incase, not sure this really works, its what a local told me to do...but it sure makes me feel better.  As I walked along the rocky path, which incidentally is just a few meters to the left of the actual path we often ride on....you feel miles away, disconnected from the 'busy'ness of the world, you can no longer hear the humdrum of peoples homelife and the cars whooshing by...but instead you hear the Kites calling as they fly above (sorry my prowess was not fast enough to catch those! working on it...!!!) and many other birds singing in the sunshine, you see tiny lizards scampering off at the sound of your footfall and you can see lots of different footprints in the sand telling a story of the secret life of local wildlife.  I love that it is less than 5 minutes stroll from home yet I feel like I have been on an adventure.  My pooch loves it too, she sniffs and investigates and gently nudges the wildgrass to investigate its smells and possible critters at home.  Most of all we love the sunshine warming our backs and kissing our faces. I love that I return feeling refreshed and happy and ready to tackel what it is that 'life' throws at us again.  Just look at all that fabulous blue will you!

 

Today went too fast but lots of fun...My son had a skateboarding workshop on (which by the way is a wonderful inclusive event here & I am very impressed, will have to blog about this another time) so my daughter & I walked into 'town' to enjoy some chicky chat and a coffee/hot choc in one of the cafe's....later we all went for a bikeride around the burbs in the sunshine, then I took the pooch for the above mentioned 'hike'...the kids killed several hundred zombies (dont ask!) while I *ahem* tended to some 'home' maintenance...feeling good, now enjoying a tall G&T with a splash of fresh pink grapefruit juice...hey, no lemons and its still a citrus! My hubby working till 8 then hopefully will veg on the couch together watching something better than his last pick 'Cockneys v's Zombies' (I kid you not, and perhaps you can see where this zombie thing is coming from lol). Happy weekend to you all x
