It's birthday week! Time for me to kick up a storm and celebrate another circle of the sun. I don't hide from Birthdays- It's worth celebrating as there's lots of special people that don't make it this far.I'm wondering if husband will plead his “I don't know what to get you it's 2 gifts in 2 weeks" as he normally does… We know he has 52 weeks to prepare for this and after being mine for around 36 years, This year I'm prepared for him… “cook dinner for me” will be my reply, failing that work Sunday for me will...

It's been a whirlwind few days - but the consistent thing has been proud Mumma moments…Friday night we attended the book launch for Big Brads book, he’s been one of my boys since he started coaching our kids wakeboarding, we knew he could be a “rat bag” and we knew he had a very colourful side, but we claimed him, and him us. It was devastating the day we landed in the states to be with him, that he broke his neck and is now a quadriplegic. We have a history, and now we have a story. His book -...

The cat and dog antics this morning, as with every morning - Lacy (cat) goes to scratch the couch and I yell "Lacey No", Lilly (dog) steps in to tell her off and the race starts around the chair, under the table behind the tv and so on till cat exits via cat door dog in tow… It's like her little game and so predictable now. A bit like black and white. 🖤🤍 Which is exactly what I was thinking about as this took place this morning because that's what we are featuring this week in the shop window and...

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life… for me… and I'm feeling good…Don't know why, but that song popped into my head the other afternoon as we were bike riding (I'm not even keen on Michael Buble's songs) it turns out this one can play in my head without me even asking for it. So I embraced the moment and went "Hell yes bring it 2021!” Biked back up the hill and had an ice cream. We also checked out Kawhia on the stat days, had great fish n chips there too. 😲 Haven’t we...
