Weekending, anniversary style

It was a simple but lovely weekend that we just had. On our day off, we drove to Kirribilli where we ate fruit buns and ran around on a gorgeous flat piece of green lawn right under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We played What’s The Time Mr Wolf with Angus and Pete while little Jamie wandered about and laughed along. Seriously, it’s so awesome that all three of them can walk now! Before leaving, I spotted these gorgeous succulents at the local florist. They were so pretty (just look at those pink ones!), I started wondering whether I might be capable of starting a small garden and maybe, just maybe, keeping some plants alive? Any thoughts, you guys?

My gardening ability aside, Rick and I celebrated eight years of marriage last week and on Friday night, his mum came over to babysit so that we could escape for a dinner date. Being creatures of habit, we stuck to the familiar: delicious Thai in a gorgeous restaurant called Basil & Mint in Neutral Bay. Being able to sit down to a dinner like that together was exactly what we needed to celebrate our anniversary. We followed that up with a round of tiramisu and affogato at the 24 hour Maisy’s Cafe, which rounded off the evening perfectly.

Truly I am blessed to have spent a quarter of my life with Rick.

My best friend. My lover. My husband.

A man who loves selflessly and gives sacrificially.

Thank you darling, from the bottom of my heart, for all that you do for us and our family.

Here’s hoping we get to spend another sixty-two years together.
