Im on 5 whole days off right now! So awesome. Have a very busy fortnight coming up though full of long shifts, study & no time for sleep.
On Saturday we went for a drive up the coast & ended up in Underwater World. The seals are so cute! Had to take a cheesy tourist pic to make the day though!
On Sunday we got up super early (not-9am!) and ventured out to the Caboolture markets for the morning. I havent been to the markets since I was about 10 years old and I have very fond memories of fairy floss, pet rocks, pony rides, scones with jam & cream, running around with my cousins, all the homemade toys & snow cones full of blue & red sugar! My god how things have changed! The markets were full of absolute crap! The toys were the same you would get out of a standard toy shop, there was plastic crap everywhere & about 75% of the stalls were people selling their second hand crap. And it wasnt even good stuff, it literally was just crap! There was nothing handmade, no pony rides, no children having fun. Not to mention it was one of the hottest days in a few months with no breeze anywhere! Yes it sounds like im complaining but I was just so shocked to see the horrible sight. Were had the markets I remember gone?? Very disappointing.
Here is another pic of Leon the day we got him at 7 weeks old. He weighed a whole 2.5kg. What a handsome young man.
And here is Leon aged 12 weeks & weighing in at 8kg at his first visit to the vet to get his vaccines. He looks so cute here. He was a very good boy at the vet and got lots of yummy treats from the vet & the nurses.
My first-born Lucy (aged 2) passed out on a hot summer's day. Poor baby.
Yoda asleep on my laptop. This is why my laptop stops working all the time!
I found some old pictures of our 2 nights away at a place called 'Secrets on the Lake' in Montville. These are from about 6 months ago. This place is just heaven! Its very expensive at $350 a night but so worth it!
The view from our balcony & from the spa- Lake Baroon. This Lake is only open to 2 resorts in Montville, including the one we stayed at. You can grab a couple of kayaks & enjoy the lake for free or go swimming. (we didnt as we kayak all the time at home)
Its my husband & I's dream to move to Montville one day. To buy a cute little cottage on a decent amount of land and raise a family. We already have 2 dogs but would probably get a few more to fill up the land. Id love to plant lots of fruit trees (although there is fruit trees everywhere already) and live off the fresh fruit & vegies grown in my own backyard. Montville is right next door to Maleny which is famous for its cheese's, wines & yogurts. Both towns are full of gorgous little vintage shops & handmade goodies. The weather is constantly changing from lightly sunny to a slight rain but its always beautiful. The countryside is constantly green and full of tree's. The air is fresher & the people are just loverly. The closest hospital is about 30mins drive and they have a fairly decent but small intensive care unit there so I will probably try to get a job there in an education or facilitation role. There are a few different ambulance stations my husband could transfer to. One day......
On another note, ive lost 3kg in 2 weeks on my new 'diet'. 37kg to go.....
