Week Highlights

Hi folks how are you all going??!! 

Thought I would pop in and share some highlights from the past few days over here..

I haven't been feeling all that swell as of late, but we have still managed to get a few more things crossed off our list this week which has been great! Olis been busy putting together flat packs (whilst watching cricket, who knew men could multi task?)


Ugh honestly, just looking at the trillion different pieces made me feel ill. What a mission. He was a champ though, and after nearly a year in Perth- we finally have drawers!!

And I have managed to get some bunting done, I'm rather proud actually as this is the first "crafty" thing I've made since... I dunno, maybe since I was 10? That's embarrassing. Yet true. 

Ta da;


All set to hang up in the little fellas room. The materials ended up working together really well, the little dogs are my fav. Who knows- this could be the start of a new crafty Gemma? Yeah don't hold your breath...

I had a lovely outing mid week with my friend Letisha.. we went to the outdoor cinemas & got prime seats right up front, with a couple of beanbags, blankets and bags of lollies- we were set;


So much fun!! 'The book thief' was an enjoyable watch, but I always feel a little let down with books-turned-films, they never quite portray the story as you'd want to see it I find. But a rad night out nonetheless, I was home by 11 & I felt like I'd been out til 5am the next day. I'm getting old.

On the movie note, we have watched 3 amazing movies at home this week. First time in forever that we've seen so many good ones simultaneously, I always feel satisfied after a really good film. Only because so many are so bloody terrible these days that you tend to feel a bit robbed of those hours of your life after you watch them don't you think? Anyway; "Enough Said", "12 Years A Slave" & "Dallas Buyers Club" are all amazing movies, I'd recommend you watch them all! 

Perths had a heat wave the last few days, it got to 43 yesterday, forty fucking three degrees. Needless to say, outdoors isn't an option, we just get nude & blast the aircon around here;


I know. She is definitely the best looking creature around. 

I've also made a couple of delicious eats over the weekend;



Chicken pesto and roasted cherry tomato fettuccine, & bagels with almond butter, banana & cinnamon. So so friggen good! 

And other than that, I really don't have that much to report. Apologies for the lack of enthusiasm this post has, I proof read it and thought it was lacking in my usual "zing". It's quite possible I'm not at my wittiest at the moment due to extreme exhaustion (think eyeballs hanging out of sockets), but I'll bounce back and hit you guys with some goodies. I promise. 

Lastly, huge happy 21st birthday wishes to my not-so-young younger sister Kate today, she is no doubt as hung as a dog right now, but I must admit she looked pretty smoking at her shindig last night;


Wish we could have been there with her!
Present is on its way... Almost.

Hope everyone is having a very lazy Sunday,

Gemma
