It is Winter here. The first of June ushered in a new season, which is cold and rainy. Well, actually the month started pretty well with 6 or so really nice, (but cold) sunny days. Of course, by cold, I mean about 50 degrees at the lowest.
Jay and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on Thursday. We went out of dinner at a very awesome place. I wore a skirt.
I bought this skirt in Noosa at the Eumundi Market. I really love this skirt. Considering that I am not a huge skirt wearer, that's saying a lot.
This weekend is the June long weekend. Don't understand what that means? Neither did I for a while. A long weekend is when there is a holiday on Monday, which makes a three day weekend. The June long weekend is simply the weekend, followed by the Queen's Birthday. Of course, Monday is not actually the Queen's birthday. It is simply the day that most of Australia celebrates her birthday. Western Australia chooses to celebrate it on a different day.
The tradition in Nelson Bay over the long weekend is the Country Music Festival. It is also rain...and lots of it. Everyone says that it rains every year on this weekend.
We are feeling fairly pinned down by the rain and stayed indoors yesterday. I have dog training this morning, rain or shine. I am hoping for less rain and more just overcast and cloudy.
Tom is coping pretty well with having his arm in a sling. I feel like it is going to get harder and harder though as the weeks go by. He has to keep it still, but I think that he not going to do well with it over the next 3 1/2 weeks.
The rain has us trapped so we are reading. Where's Wally are some favorite books for just passing the day away, searching for the impossibly hidden items and Wally.
On our anniversary, I fed the kids something they don't usually get at home. I heated some pre-made nuggets in the oven. I found this package highly amusing though. Recipes on the back of boxes typically have something to do with the product in the box. Not this one though. A box of chicken nuggets had a recipe for pumpkin. Amusing.
