Fabulousness

As much as 'Knight in Shining Armour' complained about having to get out of bed while it was still dark outside, it was a beautiful day when the sun did eventually rise, we had a relatively traffic-friendly trip down to the Sunny Coast and the day could be classified as a SUCCESS!

The Eumundi Markets were surprisingly busy for a Wednesday and for the time of year.

I got some goat's milk soap. Honey and Lemon Myrtle. Coconut and Mint. Lemon and Lime.

Adoring Husband bought me a beautiful original painting of an owl by the artist Tracey Keller whose work I absolutely love. It's so full of fun and happiness and vibrant colour! The owl now hangs on the wall opposite my side of the bed, so it's the first thing I see when I wake in the mornings :)

The man who sold it to us, gave me a free copy of a book created by Katrina Logan and Tracey Keller together. I will give it to Chicklet at my next visit, along with the dinosaur night light that I bought.

I also bought some lovely fresh vegetables at the markets and a delicious noodle salad for a morning snack.

After a couple of hours at the markets, we drove to meet up with Chicklet and Vegan Chickie at a little cafe at the front of their block of units and then spent about 90 minutes over a leisurely lunch.

It was nice to spend time with Chicklet and also nice to have some family time together.

Before we started the long drive home, we detoured via the Chicklet family's new house, which they will move into this weekend, so the next time I visit, they will be at the new address.

It looks like a really nice little area, with a park nearby and lots of trees and bushland. A nature lovers paradise I should imagine! I can't wait to see inside.

It was a good drive home. We stopped at Tiaro to get some meat from the Butcher's for dinner and discovered that a juice van had caught fire across the road to cause quite a commotion and gather a decent crowd of onlookers (which you can't see in this photo)!

The quote on the side of the juice van read "Don't ya wish your campa was hot like me". I'm pretty sure they didn't mean it in the literal sense of the word!! Not quite that hot!

Tonight, after dinner, we sat around the dinner table and played some trivia and then Celebrity Head, which was a lot of fun. Laughter to the point of tears is always hilarious.

It's almost 10.30pm and I think I need to find my way to bed, in fact, I think I'm the last one left awake!

Tomorrow, I simply must spend the day doing my final assignment for Nutrition 1, which is also the final assignment for this semester.

Oh I almost forgot to mention that I got 100% for the video assignment that I submitted last Friday! It was the final assignment for the 'Communication' subject, and my total mark overall, was 98%, which is a High Distinction. I'm feeling pretty happy with that!

I will be very relieved when I complete the last assignment for the semester and I look forward to seeing what my next three subjects will be. I have a sneaking suspicion that I've had it pretty easy for the first semester and the next subjects will be nasty .. like .. anatomy, chemistry and biology. Ugh!!

I'll keep you posted.

Nite all.
