Busy week.

I don't normally leave a week between updates on the blog but it has been a busy week. My parents are visiting and we have a full house. This week is an overlap with my sister here too and it will be a big finale tomorrow when my brother has his christening for his new baby. It will be the first time that my family will all have been  together in a few years so we are really looking forward to it.



It has been a hot week. We went for a great walk in Wangi this morning and although it was 35C (95F) it felt lovely under the dappled light of the gum trees. Everyone is having a siesta now, sleeping off their lunch and getting ready for a relaxing evening before our early start to the Christening tomorrow.

  2. I wondered what you've been up to. Glad to hear you're having such a lovely time. Hoping all goes well with the Christening. We are getting better every day here. The rain has let up, it's a beautiful sunny day and I have every window open to let it all air out. It feels fabulous. Enjoy your family!

     
  3. hope you and all the fam have a fabulous day tomorrow. All the Irish probably cant believe this heat and dont want to go back to the blizzard.
    Sunday is supposed to be as hot as today so dont forget the sunscreen lol.

     
  4. That tree is so beautiful! Have a fantastic visit with everyone... love the siesta part!

     
  5. As a woman almost fifty who still climbs a tree at least twice a year, I think that tree is amazing and you captured it magnificently.

    Hope tomorrow is filled with nothing but sweet moments.

     
  6. I'm glad to hear you are having a good time with the family. It is nice when everyone gets together after many years...time to catch up on memories and laughs. Enjoy!

     
  7. -22.3C here Gina - your weather sounds much more desirable!
    Your mum and dad must be thrilled to see all the family - saying goodbye again will be a wrench. :(

    Enjoy it though, the memories will keep you warm for a long time to come.

     
  8. Today we might hit freezing. That's our high temperature.

    Nothing lovely about being under a gum tree right now.

     
  9. What an absolutely gorgeous tree!!! It reminds me of the trees we used to sit under for music class when I was in elementary school. Thank you for sharing the picture with us. : )
