Day 48 - Sat 17th Sept 11 - Sunset
So unlike my slack Friday, Saturday I took loads of photo's. I had brunch this morning with my lovely friend Robyn and her partner Max - they were going to a wedding up the coast so came to my house which was nice. Shortie is one of my oldest friends and we don't see each other that often but when we do we always have lots to catch up on, she got engaged recently and I got to see her proposal video (yes there is one!!) and all her overseas photos which was great, we munched down on strawberries, eggs and salmon - mmmm such a treat.
I then raced to the ferry to meet the family for lunch at Newport Arms, I love the arms - it was a bit of mission to get there - but nicer to catch a ferry than drive for two hours, it is only a 20 minute ferry ride from the coast to Palm Beach in Sydney but as it was a Saturday it took me 20 minutes to get to the ferry and then a half hour bus ride to the arms.
It was a lovely afternoon just to chill out in the sun and have a few vino's and catch up with the fam, I haven't seen my beautiful nephew for a few weeks so it was nice to have a bit of playtime with him - he is nearly 12 months old and crawling around exploring everything - wish I got to see him more often though.
I then got to watch the sunset as I returned back up the coast. Whilst I took lots of people photo's today, I couldn't got past this sunset shot - I took about trillion photo's on the ferry ride home and I just love this, I also got some awesome ones of my Joelboy, but I need to check with my sis if it's ok to publish these or not.
Day 49 - Sun 18th Sept 11 - Best Friend
I had lots of grand plans for getting jobs done around the house this morning before catching up with my bestie Tina you know boring stuff like mowing lawns, doing washing - however Energy Australia had other ideas and decided to replace the power poles outside my house which meant no power for the whole day - whilst I did receive notice I totally forgot about it so was totally pissed off when I couldn't enjoy my morning coffee - luckily I had leftovers from brunch and could rustle up an uncooked breaky. So instead of spending the day at home, I headed off early to see Tina. She had a kid free day today so we spent most of the afternoon relaxing in the pub drinking wine and talking shit hence my photo of the day.
Tina and I have been best friends for nearly twenty years and seriously we can talk and talk and talk about pretty much nothing and everything for hours on end - shame we both had to drive today as I reckon we could have downed many many more drinks.
I have included my second fav photo of the day today as I like the artyness of it, this was taken at a school fete that we went to, where they had a vintage car and caravan show - I love old cars and wish I had the money to keep one as a weekend car. One can dream.....
Here's to another mundane week at work

Day 45 - 14th Sept - Vintage Cards
Today's photo is of a prize I won, I read a stack of blogs and it is so easy to enter competitions, you just write a nice message and sometimes you get lucky. These are vintage playing cards that came from the States - i think they are gorgeous - not really sure what I'm going to do with them yet though. I did take some photos of them looking all neat and spread out - but I liked the messy stack better. I have also won another prize recently a $1000 voucher for some cashmere clothing company - but I am waiting to hear back from them to find out what exactly I won - but $1000 is pretty cool - still have my fingers crossed that I will win the $25,0000 home renovation package - that would just be a dream.
