She beat the storm ... just ... and was concerned when some hail was involved and there was no protection for her lovely new blue car! Luckily the hail was small and didn’t last long.
So our week (and a bit) together is over, but she will return in ten weeks for our road trip.
We had some quality time together and she got to laze and lounge in and around the pool, reading and swimming and sun soaking. We played lots of trivia, shopped, gambled, cooked, worked, walked, socialised and were our usual silly selves.
It was a great week (and a bit).
She left this morning before I was even awake - just the way we like it - no sad goodbyes and no tears.
This morning I had a lazy start and only got out of bed at about 10am to follow Adoring Husband into the pool. I even took two of the psychotic dogs into the water! I think they liked it and they were both very animated and happy when they climbed out.
I sat under the Bali hut by myself for a couple of hours, which was just divine.
I practiced three of the fluid art methods using exactly the same colours to show my class on Saturday how you can never predict how the colours will show themeslves.
The middle one is a ‘galaxy pour’ where you pour the paint out of the cup onto the canvas at different speeds and different heights from the canvas.
The final one is a ‘flip and drag’ where you flip the cup of paint upside down onto the canvas and as you lift the cup, you drag the paint over the canvas.
I used turquoise, dark blue, green, butter yellow, red, white and black in all three paintings. Not measured, but pretty much the same amounts in the same order in the cups for each.
They are very very different!
I made some sweet potato, onion and lamb fritters tonight which I enjoyed very much with a garden salad and reheated baked veg from Sunday night.
I’m excited that the Australian Open tennis has begun today! I watched Ash Barty win her match tonight, but unfortunately five Aussies have already been knocked out on day one, including Samantha Stosur. She has never had success in the Aussie Open.
Djokovic is playing right now.
Morning coffee and work tomorrow so I think I’ll head to bed to watch more tennis.
Nite all.
