This is an Agave in a pot by my pool. I love the shapes, the colours, the smooth lines. They are such hardy plants. Drought tolerant in fact, which is perfect here in Queensland where we can go long periods without rain (though we sure got our fair […]
I’ve been having a bit of a flat day today. I’m disappointed in how unmotivated and unorganised I’m feeling and I’m also suffering huge amounts of guilt. Though I’m paying for it, I haven’t been to gym in ages. I just don’t feel like it. Why do I […]
Oh look….I can see blue sky!! As much as I love rainy days, I am very grateful to see blue sky and calmly swaying palm trees again now that the very scary weather system has finally passed over. A bit of trivia: I am so getting into this […]
I’m grateful that we have come through the severe weather system experienced in South East Queensland, as a result of ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald, unscathed. Our house is in tact and we have power and water. All we have is some debris to clean up and we lost one […]

I’m grateful for rainy days! For one thing, during a hot summer they usually offer some cool relief (like today). They also make you feel cosy and grateful for your home. I love going to bed at night with the sound of rain to drift off to, and […]
For last week’s Flashback Friday, I talked about how MrMM and I met (see HERE). As it approaches our 28th wedding anniversary (26 January – Australia Day – tomorrow!!), I thought I would keep with the theme this week and flashback to our honeymoon. We honeymooned at Norfolk […]
I’m grateful for the gorgeous relaxing soak in the bath I had tonight, surrounded in candlelight and with beautiful classical music playing softly to add to the relaxation. I really must do this more often! Linking up today with Leigh of Six by the Bay for Thankful Thursday […]
