Holidays

Can't believe that I have been at my full time job for 12 months.  It really does seem like yesterday when I started.  I am on annual leave at the moment, all 38 blissful days.....I decided not to go away this year, so 5.5 weeks at home is quite challenging but I have managed to fill in the first 3 weeks quite easily.

Cooking, cleaning, knitting, coffee with friends, dinner with friends, catching up with family both in the country and by the sea, going to see my football team play, exercising, sleeping.....lots and lots of sleeping, shopping.....lots of shopping, pattern writing and just generally enjoying not working.

I've put together a whole bunch of photos I've taken whilst on hols, some on my DSLR, some on my phone, some snatched from my Instagram account, some snatched from others on Facebook.....thank you Lamb Loves Fox and thank you Kris.

And if you are waiting patiently for Purdey pattern to come along.....your wait is going to be a little longer.  Kris who does all my desk top publishing for all of my patterns, had an early arrival.  Welcome to the world Pippa Mae.  Purdey has been put back till Kris is ready, and I think this little bundle of gorgeousness is a valid excuse, don't you?

Sunday......

Mums, dads, sisters, brothers, nana, pa, grandma, grandpa, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, boyfriends, girlfriends = family.

Tuesday.....

Some days you just need to not think about work and spend time with lovely friends and just catch up for a coffee or three and some chat time.

Lunch at St Ali, coffee at Chez Dre and Mint Lemonade at Freestyle Espresso....I'd forgotten how much I love South Melbourne.

Coffee and conversation......something I need to do a lot more of.

Happy Mondays......

I love Mondays.....especially when I have a big pile of hats ready for postage to different corners of the globe.

And Monday nights are always catch up with friends night, always a meal and a movie.  That's why Mondays are always happy Mondays.

Monday.....

I've started to attempt to take Mondays off from work.....at the moment it is really the only day of the week I have free so I do make the most of it.

Today was spent sorting seasonal wardrobe, sneaky bit of online shopping, cleaning, receiving parcels from the postman, selecting seasonal wool colours, a walk through Middle Park and South Melbourne....the changing architecture of the new and the familiar of the old, topped off with dinner and a movie in Yarraville with some friends......"I give it a Year", you're in for a right laugh.

Hope your Monday was just as enjoyable, and if it's yet to come......Happy Monday!
