Easy Sunday

How to train your subconscious to heal your body. (More mind blowing information)

A very lazy Sunday.

I woke up at 7.20am but dozed off and the next time I opened my eyes it was 8.45am!

I invited Harley to join me on the bed for 10 minutes of morning cuddles - my favourite way to start the day - and when I walked into the kitchen, there was a fresh hot cup of shop bought coffee waiting for me! Well done Adoring Husband! Excellent timing!

Harley and I spent about an hour playing in the pool area.

For brunch, I decided to cook myself Canadian pancakes - with bacon, banana and maple syrup. It was bloody delicious but my eyes were too big for my belly and I couldn’t finish all that I cooked.

After watching some pre-grand final rubbish on TV, AH began to annoy me so I retreated to my bedroom for some peace. I opened my blinds and windows to let in some light and fresh air and watched some YouTube videos on health, including a good one on urine therapy. Very interesting.

I didn’t have any Spaghetti Bolognese sauce in the freezer, so I had no choice but to haul my butt into the kitchen to make some up. It was a quick version, but still all made from scratch - no jar crap - and it was quite yummy.

We made ourselves comfortable for the NRL Grand Final between Roosters and Knights.

In my heart, I wanted Newcastle Knights to win, BUT I tipped Roosters. I was one game away from tying with my sister to jointly win the footy tipping comp and I knew she would tip Knights, so my only chance was to tip Roosters and hope they could pull it off. 

Roosters won 19-18! Hehehe.

It was a very good grand final.

Now it’s almost 10pm and I’m watching the final round of Alfred Dunhill Links Championship (golf) from my bed. Doubt I’ll see it to the end. I feel that sleep is my friend tonight.

Nite all.

Monthly Market + 1

It took a while for me to fall asleep last night, so when my alarm sounded at 5.30am, I struggled to find motivation to exit my bed.

We left the house at 7am, arrived at the markets at 7.20am and could not find a parking space! We ended up parking in the train station parking area!

We walked the markets separately and independently. I purchased some fresh vegetables, lemon butter and  some Berberine …

BGWLBH bought some 2nd hand books and filled her straw market bag with other stuff that I didn’t see.

On the way home, we made a stop at our local hall where the inaugural “pre-loved clothing markets” were being held. I bought an XL dress/top for $10. It’s way too big for me but the colours and material are gorgeous and I think I might be able to alter it - if not, it’ll be great over my swimmers in summer.

We were home and in the driveway at 8.50am.

Adoring Husband was in the pool area playing with Harley and had cancelled his coffee date because he decided there was much to do in and around the garden.

That was my cue to leave the house and hop on my trusty trike.

Yes, it was another perfect spring day.

I rode to the supermarket and selected some lamb cutlets to take home and crumb for my ‘fend for yourself’ dinner. I found some Whimmers Double Sarsaparilla and bought two bottles, then ordered a coffee - yes even though I said I was going to stop doing that!

I found a bench seat under a tree by the river and sat for 30 minutes drinking my coffee and enjoying the view. Plenty of people walked by, a few caravans packed up and left, there were a LOT of boaties on the water, some travelling way too fast between the moored yachts and not much else was happening at my end of the river.

At the other end of the path, near the new boat ramp, there was a lot of activity …

I was having such a lovely time I extended my ride by going the long way home.

The wind in my hair and the power of the electric motor making the ride so much easier. Buying Ruth was the best decision ever! Thank you Adoring Husband 🙏

At home, I unpacked the few groceries that I had and decided to do some art in my bedroom while watching the new episodes of Celebrity Traitor UK and The Traitors USA.

I also did some journaling.

I crumbed and cooked my cutlets for dinner and drank half a bottle of sars.

It’s only 6.45pm and I’m ready to sleep! I’ve used up all the mental and physical energy that I had on 4 hours of sleep!

Nite all.

Spring Perfection

My town from up high

This morning I declined BGWLBH’s offer to accompany her into the Bay.

Instead, I played with Harley for 40 minutes and decided to go for a ride.

Honestly, the day was so perfect, the air so clear, the colours so vibrant, the energy so positive that I could have kept riding all day!

I started with a coffee and sat in front of the caravan park to enjoy the view and nod hellos to the passers by.

Then I rode along every street (except the new estates), looking at the new houses that have been built on the old blocks and the gardens and the changes that have been made everywhere. It was very enjoyable and after two hours, I felt like I could continue for another two hours, but I knew I would suffer later for it, so I headed home.

I still had enough energy to do some cooking, so I decided to make some apple strudels.

Adoring Husband and I had some for lunch - him with ice cream and whipped cream, me with custard, ice cream and whipped cream. They were delicious.

I watched a Netflix movie called “Hanging Up” starring Walter Matthau, Diane Keaton, Meg Ryan and Lisa Kudrow. It was pretty good but released in 2000 so it’s pretty old. I enjoyed it.

For dinner, I cooked myself chicken sausages with tomato and onion gravy.

I must admit that my body is feeling a little bit weary, so I should sleep well tonight.

I’m off to the Howard markets in the morning so it will be an early start.

Nite all.

Hours of Solitude

After a solid nights sleep, I took Harley out to play at 8.30am for 45 minutes.

The weather was lovely so I decided to go for a ride.

Adoring Husband was getting ready for golf and BGWLBH was preparing for a hair appointment, so I set myself a time of one hour so that I could be back when they were due to leave.

The tide was coming in and the river looked beautiful. I counted 15 people fishing along the riverbank. There were kids on scooters and bikes, older people walking their dogs, a couple of men tossing the net for bait fish, women catching up at the picnic tables, parents and grandparents monitoring their kids and g’kids, caravaners drinking coffee under their canopies and watching the boaties on the river.

I sat with my coffee on a bench seat under a tree and became a part of the energy.

I had to delete photos from my phone so that I could take more!

I moved further down the river to take more pics.

Then I pedalled to the boat ramp for more pics.

I arrived home just as BGWLBH was leaving for her appointment.

AH left soon after.

I got to enjoy 3.5 hours of solitude.

I watched a Mayim Bialik interview with Rupert Spira: You Have Never Seen Reality.

Blew my mind!

I took one of my empty journals to take notes. In future, I’m going to take notes with all of her interviews because my brain is not capable of remembering so many details, so many names, so many concepts, so many experiences and they are all so intriguing and interesting. I NEED notes!

Right now, as I write this, I’m listening to an 1Claire Khenar interview with Joe Dispenza. I wish I could afford to attend one of his seminars! This interview is about “The Mindset that Attracts Abundance”.

It’s already 10.14pm and I’m trying to create a habit of sleeping before 11pm, so it’s time to sign out.

Nite all.

Lotto Looming

Half a day in the Bay to do lotto and buy some sourdough bread fresh from the baker.

In a couple of weeks, we won’t need to go into the Bay for Lotto because our Foodworks supermarket is currently setting up a lotto station and training up staff to man it! Let’s hope it’s lucky!

That was my ‘to do’ list.

BGWLBH had her own list and she has a hair appointment tomorrow, so our trip had to be today.

We were home by 2pm and my eyes were very tired, so I lay on my bed for 90 minutes resting them.

Chicken rollups wrapped in bacon for dinner. The stuffing tonight was goats cheese, mayonnaise, chilli sauce, fried onion and mushrooms, parsley.

Served with potato salad, wombok salad and cherry tomatoes.

Last Wednesday, Adoring Husband’s ankle collapsed from under him. It was very dramatic. But miraculously, he was able to play golf the next day without a problem.

Tonight (Wednesday), his knee collapsed from under him - even MORE dramatic - he fell on the dog and onto the floor. He still plans on playing golf tomorrow. No sympathy from me unless golf is suffering.

Just saying.

It’s only early but I need to rest my eyes some more.

Nite all.
