Where I'm at now

It's after 1am on Sunday, so things don't change do they? Trying out posting on the iPad via the blogger app - quite easy although I have to solve the photo problem, but that's for another day - I'll add photos into this post tomorrow - I hope!

So where am I at just now?

~ Buying a new tap today at Winnings - what a well organised establishment, very civilised free underground parking and a 'working kitchen' where you can help yourself to coffee and yummy things.

~ Walking my daily steps - over 9000 today and (drum roll please) over 11,000 yesterday. Best $118 ever spent on the FitBit - who knew I was that competitive (walking up and down the hall the other evening at 5 to 12!!) Tonight I walked a big block, to the vet, and carried home a bag of crunchies for the boys!

~ Candles, particularly Ecoya, the pine needles one, so fresh! And nearly gone :( Love this in the evening as it glows warmly and scents the room very beautifully.

~ Doctor Who soundtracks! Yes, I know I'm a bit obsessed - but how great it is to drive around town with Murray Gold's wonderful music blaring! Particularly enjoying the 8 soundtrack. Love 8's theme, it's dramatic. Lots of drums. Wonderful symphonic music, I remember this years' (and 2012's) concerts very well, lots of fun and this music works so well when played by an orchestra. It really adds to the show.

~ Cooked a recipe from Tessa Kyros's book Limoncello and Linen water - I think that's the title. Lamb shoulder stuffed with herbs and prunes, baked with veggies and white wine. Very delish.

~ Some beautiful flowers arrived this morning from dad. One of the nicest bunches I've ever received, and such a lovely thing for dad to do.

It's only halfway through the weekend! Time left to dream and walk - and cook more nice things tomorrow. 

An evening in June

Trying to decide how to restart this blog again, but instead I'll add this photo:

This shot was taken on the balcony of the pub in Byron Bay, a couple of years ago. It was winter, and cocktails were about to be served - mine had lots of mint and gin if memory serves me well!

Fast forward to today - it's nearly July, but today was warm and sunny. Walked with a friend at lunchtime and enjoyed the mild day and bright sunshine.

I'll walk some more over the weekend. Hope to visit the markets tomorrow. For now, it's home James and don't spare the horses!
