Hump day Happiness

I’ve had to dig really deep this week to find anything to smile about. Aside from one massive high most of the week has been pretty shitful to be honest so here goes....

TC performed at the Opera House as part of the Combined School Recorder Ensemble, all 700 of them. My mum (the Nana) came down to Sydney for it and we had seats in the 4^th row from the front. MrPt, the Nana and I are all so damn proud of her, it was the 1^st time TC and the Nana had been inside the Opera House too so that was extra super cool.

Prior to the concert the Nana and I had a glass of wine and a mezze plate at one of the Harbourside restaurants, it was really nice to just have time for the 2 of us and while we stressed at a short timeframe to get the food in case we missed the concert. We both calmed down enough to enjoy the wine and the view just the two of us.

Circular knitting needles and the magic loop, I had a go at making a couple of beanies over the weekend and due to the available chucky wool and the 9mm needles I had they came together in under a couple of hours. It is a shame I didn’t try this at the START of winter however if I keep doing this I will have a stockpile of little gifty type things (in theory of course) for the relo’s and mates at Christmas.

And some quick ones - new episodes of TrueBlood with my girlfriends on Monday nights, turkish toast with butter and vegemite, stripey pyjamas,birthday dinner invites & possible tweetups this weekend if kiddo arrangements can be made.

Oh and finally I’m wearing my ugg boots under my desk today and I do not care!

ps. If you click on the photo I have circled TC's head...

Hump Day Happiness

Not sure if Naomi over at Under the Yardarm is doing this this week but a few things have made me smile this week so I have decided to post mine here.

My 30 Day Yoga course something I have begun for the month of June (I’m doing the one for busy people, here if you are interested). It is only 10 mins a day but in this second week of the course I have found myself stretching it out for at least 20 mins each session, remembering poses from the classes I took for years and just stretching, I’ve noticed that my body does not want to leave the mat once I am on there, its often just the getting there that is the hard part. The course is delivered online so I can do it when and where I please, on the weekdays this has meant that I am doing it in the afternoon when I get home from work.

The benefits of this is I get a clear distinction between work time and home time and I have no excuses at that time of the day, there is nothing that needs doing, not dinner or dishes. I’ve finished bolting here and there for the day. I get home have a tea and chat with TC then ask her to have the 10-20 mins alone and she goes into her room to do her homework and I have been getting on the mat. There is no noise from tvs or radios or the bloody Beibs, even Yellow seems to know that he should leave me be, perhaps he’s not as stupid as I thought after all!

The rains and long weekends have made me happy too, warm doonas and tea in bed, a footy win followed by roudy Turkish restaurants for a birthday, the perfect wine and wonderful friends who drive us home, big bowls of pea & ham soup, hot pumpkin bread with lashings of butter, my rainbow crocheted rug and new Ugg boots for me and tc. Plus the heater, the cat and planning a weekend away with my man really soon.

Anything make you happy this week?
