Great photos – certainly looks like a wonderful weekend! Lovely big blue skies and ocean. The weekend hasn’t quite come to a close yet here but yoga this morning, followed by a delicious spinach, pumpkin and feta pasta lunch, a bit of spring cleaning and soon the company of friends…

Now that sounds like a cracking weeking weekend too. Any day that starts off with yoga has got to be a good one.

I like Newcastle. My two girls are at Newcastle Uni and share, with three others, a terrace in Waratah. It’s a nice laid back small city, the coffee nazi in me seems to be able to sniff out a decent long black most times, the markets are good and the scenery great.

Hey nothing wrong with being a coffee nazi Bob, I completely understand. A good brew is very important!

SNOW…Lots of it…at least the chickens liked it…I would have loved to spend mine at the beach or farmer’s market.

Snow! We could swap for a day?
I’ve never seen a chicken in the snow, I can’t imagine how they would react 🙂

those blue skies look perfect – our weather seems to have gone from stinking hot to gloomy grey – but we have been inside mostly decorating christmas trees and going to parties – looking forward to a sleep now!

We have had lots of grey as well, (today included).
Hope you got a good sleep Johanna.

Gorgeous blues… those numbered blocks are for swimming races?? I’d give anything to have been there! We had a warm week, but the cold is back and I’m looking at snow falling outside… shivery!

It’s quite the contrast isn’t it. Snow vs sea pools. They are for races, or just jumping off as I used to do as a kid 🙂

I’ll take sea pools any day!

Wonderful photos that remind me that there’s relief coming in a few months. I’m sitting here glaring at several millimetres of ice accumulation on my plants. It’s cold here. Really cold. At 7am it was only -2C. Brrr!

A happy, happy weekend! Bluebottles…not the monkeys? Or you? Eek! I’ve never been in the path of one..
We’ve been working our way down the arm length list of jobs to do before Christmas. Good that the house gets an overhaul..but oh, SO exhausting!
