Nice and quiet here today. I love this suburb. Lots of people out walking but all for the same reason – enjoying a peaceful morning. It’s overcast and grey and there is a bit of drizzle around… the garden is giggling.

I’m old school when it comes to roses. If it doesn’t smell like a rose, I don’t see the point. Mr Lincoln, Freesia, Gold Bunny, Honey Dijon, Double Delight are some of my roses that all have a strong fragrance.

I break my own rule when it comes to my favourite rose. It’s called Julia’s Rose. It buds up a deep brown colour and when it opens it fades to the colour of parchment. My parents had it growing in the garden I grew up with and although it doesn’t have a scent, I love it because of its unusual colour. Parchment. What a delicious word to describe a flower. This is my favourite rose.

Full super moon in Capricorn. So if, like me, you’ve had more than a few days of winding up layer upon layer of feelings about workload and how much you carry, it’s time to let it go and say no. #selflove #balance #release #craziness
I needed this - steak, mushie, colcannon and greens with a little “Parisienne bu-terrrrrrr”. Fabulous! And the company matched perfectly. I didn’t photograph dessert - I ate it. Sticky date pudding with rum and raisin ice-cream. Delish.
Vive le Tour!! #couchpeloton #sbstdf #trolldj
Big sky today out west and lovely in the sunshine. #Queensland #winter #scenicrim #carneyscreek
Finally in the newsagents. #tdf #sbstdf #couchpeloton #bringiton
Thank you Haven. Haven. Coffee for Haven. Haven? Haven?
If you know, you know ❤️ #tpwk #harry
Late night staples when it’s winter in Brisbane. Tea and biccies. Crochet and cricket. #hugge #comfort #crochet #blanket #tea #biccies #lords #nzlvseng
Bedlam before. Bookcase after.
New moon in Taurus.
Back to work tomorrow after a much too short break. Prep to make things a little more pleasant. Anzac slice and banana bread. #podlife
I had a great night graduating Gin School. Brisbane Distillery at West End has a cool vibe and the class room is terrific. I made an ink gin with botanicals of agave, elderberry, green cardamom, orange blossom and wild rosella. Yum. #ginschool #gin #brisbane
I’d like to thank Australia Post for unknowingly supporting my effort to be an adult. To keep is in the wallets. To shred is in the postbox. #idontknowwhereigotitfromiswear #declutter #paperless #mortgageprep
Decluttering all the things and found a print out of this amongst my “things to journal about” prompt box. This birthday week I’m taking some time to break from the stress and grind of adulting. Nature is a great healer. Thanks for the reminder @chrisevans. Water the plants. Talk to the trees. Watch the birds. Support the bees. 💚❤️🐝🌻
Let’s go Australia. #ausvotes
Pretty sky. #scenicrim #queensland #nofilter
It’s been a week, hasn’t it? I’m taking the evening to rest. No chores. Nothing for me to have to/ should do - it can all wait til the morning. #rest #timeout #reset
So that’s a lot for one day. #bnestorm #subtropics #rain
There’s a storm water drain under there somewhere. Might not need to pay for a pool now. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
