Hungry Hippos Cafe {take 2}

my tummy was satisfied after this scrumptious dinner

Not many things top a Friday night more than sharing games and food at this cafe. Thank you to our friends Daz and Jo for inviting us and creating a night of new games, great fellowship and many laughs. Thank you to the owners for creating such an awesome place to socialise. 

Happy Weekend! 

Simply happiness

My Nan shared this quote with me recently. 

'To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring--- these are some of the rewards of the simple life' - John Burroughs

A simple life can sometimes be the best. 

Happy weekend everyone!

A Weekend Started Well

What a weekend so far! Joyful. Blessed.

Friday night at 10:30pm, Mr J and I drove two whole hours to Pt Victoria to enjoy the company of wonderful friends and to R-to-the-ELAX. We watched movies, the boys let the fish eat their bait, we paddled, ate, laughed, admired the sunset and sat. It was great. 10:00am this morning we returned home for Mr J to earn dollars.

I got home and.... Golly Mac Dolly!! Check out what my inspiring father made me. Yep, a door turned into a desk! I'm in love. Who knew my little bedroom could squeeze in an office?!

Long weekends are fabulous, still two more days to do whatever.
What are you doing during this autumn heat?

Tummy-filling Weekend

Mr J and I ventured here Friday night. A place where freshness comes in all shapes and sizes. We then walked around the city with no plans to eventually find Yvonne's Yiros Cafe at 9:00pm for dinner. No regrets.

Saturday night was lovely too. Mr J and I had a dinner date with D&B. Two inspirational people and great friends who we hadn't seen for six months, yet it felt like yesterday. We discovered, not only have Mr J and D's friendship been going strong for seventeen years but that they also share the same talent to tune every word and action out while watching the television. It must be a 'man thing'! D&B shared their marriage experiences with us as we shared our excitement for our big day. Amazing food, amazing company and a very fast three hours gone. I would go back here for a cherry ripe {dessert} pizza any day.

Today there was no dinner dates, however, there was church, relaxing and craft. After a wonderful, social and tummy-filling weekend I dusted off the sewing machine and made it a craft day. Productivity was formed when I finished the decorations for some celebrations approaching. 

Weekend over and out. 

Three Turned To Five

My long weekend turned into a week. Five day weekend. Fantastic. 

A day in my pyjamas until lunch, a day for Australia, a day organising and exploring with Mr J, time spent with family and friends, time for an open fire barbeque and a few beverages. I ate way too much food, it was fun.
