Time Flies

It was a great meditation day.

So many discussions to be had. We even missed the middle meditation because we were all talking so much.

Lots of sharing.

Lots of epiphanies.

Lots of laughter.

Lots of hugging at the end.

When everyone had left, Heart of Gold, The Gypsy and I all sat down to Japanese bubble tea and banana, strawberry mini muffins while The Gypsy did a card reading for us.

It was the perfect way to finish the day.

I didn’t get home until after 2pm and I asked Adoring Husband to drive me out to Happy Hippy’s to collect the eggs.

Harley was in need of some play time before I made myself a snack and put tonight’s dinner in the oven so that it would be ready by 5pm.

That way, I wouldn’t miss any of the football.

Now I’m exhausted so it’s sleep time for me.

Nite all.

What Day Is It?

Nobody knows what day it is.

Even though Adoring Husband had his usual Friday morning coffee date with Old Mate, he had forgotten by the afternoon that it was Friday so it was me who cooked the usual Friday night fare of marinated chicken wings for dinner.

I woke up this morning ready to jump out of bed for Saturday morning meditation until I realised it was only Friday.

BGWLBH is still sick so she has no idea what day of the week it is.

As long as he gets to play, Harley doesn’t care what day it is!

Nothing of interest happened today.

I need to be up early for Saturday meditation so it’s sleep time for me.

Nite all.

All About Me

It felt like a busy morning for me.

I cooked breakfast as usual.

I played with Harley for an hour, as usual.

I watered all of the gardens and potted plants for an hour - NOT usual for me - usually BGWLBH’s domain, but she is still out of action.

I played with Harley for another 20 minutes.

I made myself some breakfast and a cup of tea and sat down for an hour.

I took washing off the line and hung out a load, then washed Harley’s bedding.

I changed the protective covers on the couch after Harley had chewed a ‘bloody’ bone on it.

I played with Harley for another 20 minutes until 2pm.

I parked my butt on the couch until 4.30pm when I prepared dinner. Honey, garlic, lemon chicken with boiled buttered potatoes, snow peas and green beans.

I am currently watching Penrith get smashed by Parramatta, but I feel a comeback is about to begin!

I will now stop beginning my paragraphs with ‘I’ and sign off.

Nite all.

Out of Action

BGWLBH is out of action.

She’s in bed very sick looking and sounding dreadful.

I fed her poached eggs for breakfast, a fruit smoothie made of orange, pineapple, rockmelon, watermelon and passionfruit (from our garden) for lunch and home made pumpkin soup for dinner.

On past experience, I expect she will come good by Sunday or Monday.

It was an easy day preparing Harley’s weekly meals, doing a couple of loads of washing, catching up on some TV shows and playing with Harley.

Adoring Husband collected the FROG box this morning and did a run to the local supermarket.

I am feeling decidedly weary now so it’s sleep time for me.

Nite all.

Happy Meditation

Had a crappy start to my day.

I stayed in bed for as long as possible before getting up to prepare for my meditation morning. I didn’t factor in time for feeding Harley because Adoring Husband is usually up and offers to feed him if I have something planned.

Unfortunately AH was NOT up so I had to defrost Harley’s food while I got dressed and then feed him.

Nobody was out of bed and Harley was very unhappy watching me leave.

Leaving was an issue in itself!!

I discovered AH had parked his work trailer right in front of the gates. I could barely manoeuvre my trike around it and it took some very clever back and forth shifting to get it past the trailer, then further shifting to get the gate opened wide enough to get out.

Thank goodness I was going to meditation because boy did I need it to calm down!

After all that time consuming mucking around, I arrived at meditation just before the doors closed.

It was a perfect session of meditation and just what I needed to bring me back to a peaceful state.

Hoop Qi followed and I must say I’m thoroughly enjoying this gentle exercise. I’ve bought myself a light hula hoop so that I can practice it at home - that’s if I can remember the routine haha.

I got to spend a couple of quality hours with The Gypsy afterwards and I arrived home at almost 1pm and still feeling peaceful.

Thanks to AH, there was a vase full of beautiful sunflowers waiting for me at home.

Taco Tuesday tonight so a nice easy dinner.

Now it’s time to sleep.

Nite all.

Whale Overwhelm

I experienced whale overwhelm today.

My cheeks felt some tears and it took all of my self control to not sob like a baby.

I had inadvertently left my camera memory card at home so I couldn’t use my camera to take pics. Thank goodness for phone cameras!

There were so many whales and they were very friendly.

We are going out again in September before the school holidays. I hope the weather is as perfect then as it was today. What a fabulous day!

Now I need to sleep.

Nite all.

Perfectomundo

How clever am I?!

A perfect round in the footy tipping two weeks in a row!

That puts me in a clear second place on the ladder but still ten points behind the leader. I need another two perfect rounds to overtake him.

Miracles have been known to happen haha.

The last two days have been uneventful and tomorrow is our second whale watching trip so hopefully there will be plenty of whale action and plenty of photographs to go with.

We are going on a different boat that does NOT provide tea, coffee or snacks so we have to take our own.

I’ll give you my review tomorrow night.

Meanwhile I am ready to sleep because it’s an early start tomorrow.

Nite all.
