Summer Afternoon

I've had this post in drafts for so long, since last Summer, in fact. I guess I didn't really know what to write. I just loved the photos and the beautiful sunlight. I still don't know what to write. Only that this was a lovely afternoon with gorgeous people that made me feel like I was on holidays at home. And that everything was just right.  xx

The Loveliness of Eggs







Aren't eggs just lovely? So warm. Such a soft colour. So humble. Perfect little packages.
I found these photos and they brought back memories of last Autumn, on a beautiful quiet sunny morning.
I needed to look at photos to remember what the sun looks like....'cause we haven't seen it here for ages! 
Just rain, rain, rain.
But we can still have eggs for breakfast.

Cyclone Oswald

Well, after a long hot period without rain, we have had Cyclone Oswald. At first I was grateful for the deep, soaking rain. We had some great plays in it, riding the inflatable boogie board down the drain and sliding in the giant puddles all over the football field. But as it gained momentum, I began to feel uneasy. I didn't sleep well last night, with all the big gusts of wind. I actually was a bit scared! 

And look at our backyard this morning:


We copped it. Our poor trees. I loved that beautiful big olive tree!

So that's been a bit of excitement in the neighbourhood. And Jimmy shouted with glee, "Hooray, that's our playground now!"

But guess what happened to our friends? Their trampoline got swept up two storeys and crashed into the neighbours roof! And the neighbours are away on holidays....oh boy.

I hope you are all safe and well and Oswald behaves himself in your area!
