School Holidays and Sloth-like Tendencies...










So this will be a lazy post  - so lazy in fact that I cannot even be bothered editing & ordering the images or apologising for the close-up of my toes or the medium close-up of me straight out of a bath and into THE onesie*... the one that was bloomin pricey but had the ever essential "bottom flap" (which I consider nothing short of ESSENTIAL given that the whole point of a onesie is to remain cocooned and how then do you achieve this when it's time to take a twinkle???) 

It's mid-winter school holidays (or break or vacation whichever you prefer) here peoples. That means we stay in bed late when we can - and we conduct ourselves as sloth like as is allowed before life truly gets in the way. We have the bush radio on most of the day whilst crafting, we venture out to feed the chickens and walk the dog, drink lots of tea which we accompany with sugary treats and allow the pooch to act as lap warmer whenever possible. 

School/study is going very well. My lovely tutor allows me a day of work experience in her shop as well (which I looooooove) and the practice is making all the difference. We have exams coming up so I have to squeeze study in to the sloth timetable ... as well as a few "Mother-Son Milkshake & Soy-Chai-Latte Dates"

Yes... life is looking pretty horizontal here in the hills peoples. It's all about squeezing out every drop of hedonism the day has to offer and making zero excuses for it. After all what else is a vacation for?

Now if you'll excuse me I need to make some hot chocolate and fish out some knitting... and possibly emerge from the onesie so that it can be washed. 

* I have desired, dreamed and wished for a Onesie for most of my life. I first spotted one on Little House on the Prairie - when I asked my mum why they didn't make pee-jays like that anymore she laughed... whereas I was being serious. It seemed like the most logical outfit for any cold winter climate and I adored the fact that someone had the genius to incorporate a "loo-flap" - after all who wants to strip halfway in the middle of the night? It's bad enough that the toilet seat is like an ice-block! Are these thoughts just mine or do I share a camaraderie with other "onesie wearers" out there?

♥♥♥♥

PS - I mastered the paper crane... sans a swear word. Not sloth-like but noteworthy.

The "tale" end of Easter....


via here

How was your Easter break lovely peoples?
Mine was mellow and warm and yummy and reflective
and sleepy and talkative and giggly and smiley and full
of BLESSED goodness







Autumnal Easter Chic...

Gnomes my sister in law... Eggcellent! 
A little "know-how" ... it's wheat grass peoples = Kaa...ooool!



Seriously ... my 13 year old Prince is like the BFG...

 






Yes... it was more than GOOD it was WONDERFUL.

Myalup Magic...

It begins and ends with the beach...


.... and it was bliss.

******

PS - Welcome to my new (and not so new) followers.
I am but a humble blogger and to know that I share this charmed life
with all of you lovely people is just such sweet icing on the cake.
Have a great week peoples!

PPS - 'Twas my birthday last week and boy was I spoilt rotten! 
Everything from a Taj Mahal supply of chocolate through to the coolest
pair of slippers I've ever owned.
However (and I hope this does not offend)
my two favourite gifts were not bought, wrapped up or
from anyone I know...
They were the mystical, magical kind....

* A cinema ALL to myself 
(felt like a celeb)

* Swimming with a dolphin as the sun was setting
(lasted all of 20 blissful minutes!!)


Tis true... the best things in life really are free
(That's me in the cinema... all by myself... 
hence the darkness)

The Perfect Vacation


Family and Friends...









....resorts...


...familiar fauna...


... lots of golf for Hubby ...


... soaking up the sun, beach combing...





.... fabulous food and wine...



.... the best pizza topping ever
(it's the avocado and balsamic baby!)...





... Christmas with loved ones, gifts galore, beautiful wrapping, 
stunning (with a capital S!) table decor....






.... traditional cooking methods, crazy critters, a day at Sun City...






.... camping in the bush, four wheeling (eeeek!), 
the biggest pool ever, torrential rain....







.... and a tea party that beats all...











Yes sir... 'twas the perfect vacation.




Still settling in, recovering from jet lag, eating too much, sleeping in (too much),
catching up on "blog-goss", preparing for school, sharing vacation photos, trying to beat the heat and of course...in amongst it all... solve world hunger and find inner peace.
Hmmmmm ... will keep you posted.

Happy belated New Year to y'all!
2012 is going to kick butt!
