It's been miserable & wet here in Perth as of late. Ironically, just a few months ago, I specifically recall whining numerous times about Perth's lack of rain. It's safe to say, I take that back. Cabin fever is settling in, and the cell is getting bleaker by the day. Thankfully, I have wonderful people in my life such as Mikaela, whom yesterday, dropped in with Noah and generously gifted me a free pass for an hr or so.
This set up is my ultimate happy place. A brilliant novel (The Goldfinch), a large long black, and the perfect people watching spot. Heaven! The rain even added to the ambience & cosiness of the cafe scene. Doing something like this, for myself, has probably happened once or twice over the past 2 years. Usually, I would run errands, get groceries, or exercise if I had some free time. Scratching all of those practical chores, and opting for some real down time was incredibly therapeutic. There was no trace of guilt afterwards either, no "I probably should of gotten groceries, or gone for a run", just pure contentment. I'll definitely be making more hours in the week for moments like this in future..
On the wedding front- we have just received the bridesmaids dresses and they are magnificent! Groomsmen outfits are up next (Asos galore), and then trying to pick out some rings. Invites are going out in the next few weeks, and then hopefully we will have ourselves a wedding party to join in the celebrations. The next 10 months are going to whizz by; they better anyway, as we are stuck here again for Xmas and I just want to squeeze all the exceptional people in our lives as soon as poss! Not to mention- a holiday is in dire need. Two kids = premature grey hairs sprouting through.
Speaking of- Oli recently suggested I go to Bali without him when I finish feeding Oscar at some stage early next year. Just for a few days, to relax & unwind. You're thinking what I'm thinking right? There's gotta be a catch. Wouldn't be that Oli may want to go to the NRL grand final in Sydney, or something? Said so cavalier... Or something (shrugged shoulders). Even so, I'll take it! So a quick girls Bali trip may be on the cards in jan/ feb, which would be handy to organise some wedding plans in person too. It's dirt cheap from Perth, unbelievably cheap, our mining friends often fly over in their short breaks & it works out a lot cheaper than residing here, where a beer is $10 a pop & apples are $7 a kilo. Don't even get me started....
Besides that, I've been going to loads of Bikram classes (still laaaarrrvvvee it), and watching episode after episode of suits;
Does anyone else watch this? If not, wrap your eyeballs around these two hunks. It's riveting stuff!
I better scoot anyway, babies need boobies, chook needs roasting, washing needs folding, and a certain toddler needs supervision before our walls become a mural.
I hope you are all having a wonderful week!

Thought of the day "it's August next week, what the actual fuck?"
