The moon is russet, covered by the earth: Time to wrap up our Super Blood Blue Moon Total Lunar Eclipse picnic in Kings Park - what a peaceful, beautiful, laid-back evening. Lots of people came out but everyone was so relaxed; just lovely. We also remembered my mother Nadine, who died 16 years ago today. She would have been excited about such a dramatic lunar event - she loved astrological occurrences. Here's to you Mum. 🌝💖🌚

Sunday Sunshine 9 July 2017 We’ve enjoyed sensational weather this weekend; perfect for having fun outdoors. I watched My Girl’s West Coast women’s footy team blast to a second-half win in their second match of the final Winter Carnival round. Unfortunately G was feeling too ill with a cold to play so we wandered to Clancys Cafe to take in the ocean and a snack. She got progressively more pasty, so her bf took her home to sleep and I went to the Dog Haven to check out a small dog bed sale.

I had a look at the doggies available for adoption; most were staffy and pit-bull cross-breeds. People get these dogs for superficial reasons then can’t cope with their energy. Being a big softie I got a bit teary but in fact most do go good homes. Dogs just want to be loved and feel secure like we do.

Sunday afternoon was for making peanut butter protein balls and whizzing up a big batch of granola. I experimented with chia seeds in the pb balls but wouldn’t use them again.

The Husb heads off overseas for work tonight so we took a sunset walk with the dog before finalising our work clobber ready for the week ahead.

19 & 20 June 2017

Our sick little mini schnauzer perked up on Monday; took interest in food and was keen for a little walk. At 13, Mitzy is at the age where she is beginning to experience older dog issues: cataracts, a bit of arthritis, susceptibility to allergies and skin irritations, and a bit of confusion. She’s always been such a lively, healthy wee dog, it has been disconcerting seeing her laid low.

We are experiencing another spectacular winter weather week in Perth - not so good for our drought-stricken farmers but us urban dwellers are loving the golden sunshine and mild temperatures. It’s hard to believe the Winter Solstice is tomorrow.

I was awake early and whizzed up a 1.25kg batch of my healthy nutty seedy homemade breakfast mixture, before popping into my office to check emails and read some articles. Before I knew it midday had arrived and I was still chilling in my pajamas! I looked outside and the urge came upon me to grab my bike and go for a ride! From pjs to lycra on a northerly breeze and a ray of sunshine; flying down the coast with the tailwind; getting cocky and nearly laying it down on a fast, sandy corner; struggling against the headwind home. My first ride in two months was only 16km but it felt good. That’s one drought that has been broken.

Mitzy was up for another walk, so The Husb and I strode out at sunset, detouring to the shops for dinner supplies. I made a super healthy chicken hot pot with black rice for dinner but the appalling tumblr app update won’t upload my edited draft so you’re just going to have to live without seeing this culinary delight!
