Some of you may get the slightly altered version of this reference from Friday Night Lights (you know who you are!) My personal take on it involves a (mostly) clear dining room table that is honestly bringing me SO much joy, after weeks of it being overrun. As per usual, I forgot to take a…
Continue reading →Last Sunday, Marian and I and Marty took nine of our children (Marty’s youngest came along) to Aussie World for the day! I have driven past this place dozens of times, most recently in the last two (plus) years since starting my relationship with Marty as it’s on the way to his place. I kept…
Continue reading →February 29 has rolled around once more. The last leap year bonus day in 2020 was when I hit publish on my final blog post on my old blog, My Brilliant Foot. My goodness how much has changed since that weekend away! The bonus day before that in 2016 was the final day of my…

I started getting really worried and sad that I may have misplaced them,…
Continue reading →On my old blog, I used to do a 10 things on the 10th post each month* for a while there, and I thought I’d resurrect it for my month of blogging. I was going to do a fairly obvious one of “10 things I am currently grateful for” but we all know what those…
Continue reading →Gosh what a great weekend away! Friday we arrived a few at a time, and just settled in to our Beach House, went for a walk on the beach… …and made reservations for dinner. The food was delicious, the drinks were flowing as was the uninterrupted conversation! Saturday was all about the op-shops and there…
