Spring has Sprung here in the land down under. We actually had our first 35c/95f day! In October!
I think this summer is going to be one seriously sizzling one.
This week unfortunately I have been struck down with a cold. While that sucks, it has been my one and only sickness for the year, so I’m not going to complain about that.
Lots of vitamin C and Echinacea have helped that is for sure.
The other thing that has helped is sleep. Thanks to my loving husband/partner he has allowed me to get the needed rest I need so I can get better.
That has meant that he has looked after the kids, and made them breakfast/lunch/dinner, while I either 1. sleep or 2. work.
So let’s get into the Five things I give a High Five to this Friday.
Five Pictures
- Chicken Egg Pie. Except for the fact it’s more like a quiche than a pie. Either way, it’s a winner in our house.
- My first run for the season in shorts. Going to have to get used to it, but feels weird either way.
- The October Goodnessme Box hands down have to be my fav box so far. So many wonderful goodies.
- It was Tom’s birthday the other day.
- These whispy clouds just scream summer and beach to me.

So sorry about your spring cold, hope you can get over it soon! Enjoy running in shorts, we are just nearing the transition from them here:) Well I think maybe one more month can be stretched, we usually start getting our first valley snowfalls sometime in the next few weeks. I want to get more camping in, hope it holds off:) That or I just need some $$ to visit Austraila and enjoy your sun:)
That is seriously one good looking birthday cake, and Tom looks pretty chuffed with it too!!!!! Bah about the cold. Even worse when the weather is perfect. Olive Leaf Extract we swear by in this house, tastes urrrgh but helps.
I will have to keep the olive leaf extract in mind.
I haven’t run for a week. Might attempt a 3km run tomorrow. We’ll see.
