Amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

It's very easy to get carried away with the hurly-burly of life, caught up in the necessities of earning a living, looking after yourself and your family, running around - forever chasing your tail.....not leaving any tine to really appreciate the loveliness of the little things around you.

This week was crazy-mad for me getting ready for a garage sale as we try and clear the decks of our life.
Some days I couldn't even think about taking any photos at all!
Let alone thinking of something that was rocking my socks!

So here is this week's round up - a few discoveries in store!

Cadbury's Rocky Road. Who knew?

Re-discovered a box of Barbies
Cat suddenly became cuddly (for a minute)
Amazing afternoon after-storm light

Re-discovered old 78's (my sister's)
I love sticking boxes together!

French toast with custard at Henri Marcs
How was your week?
Did you find something/someone to love?

Try and take time next week to enjoy, really appreciate something every day.

But it's never too late to share the good bits of life, right?

So here we go...

after-meeting bubbles with friends
a walk after 2 weeks

little tin, perfect for a sewing kit
something from grandad's cupboard
camping, with the caravan
a country market, at Millthorpe

I still found time to appreciate things

I'm not finding much time for blogging generally but I'm still trying to find some joy each day.
Some little thing that pleases me, that makes me think "ah, life is good"

This week I bought a big bunch of basil to make some pesto to make this recipe.
Mmmmmm, I love the smell of fresh basil.
I have got some in a pot but it wasn't enough to make pesto....just enough to inhale every now and then.


Who has a love-hate relationship with shopping?
I do!
And dragging an enormous trolley around Costco it one of the hates....but there are several things I love.
Their organic cheese.
The smoked salmon.
Bagels.
And looking around the "others" section.
This week they has showers all sorts of home reno stuff including the kitchen sink!


I have been trying to do the fast diet or the 5:2 diet,
Some days it is hard.....but I love that dinner tastes so much more intense, more fabulous on a fast day.
This was (spicy) masala prawns on a bed of baby spincah.


Mr planet and I have a caravan.
We also have some old and grotty plastic cups that we have used for camping for the last 10 years or so.
Time for some new fabulous mugs I thought! Right?
Wrong?
Cannot find melamine mugs or plastic mugs anywhere.
All the usual suspects - Target, $2 shops, camping shops - zilch!
But I did find these spiffy melamine latte cups in the Leura Whisk, kitchenware shop in Leura.


So the sorting out continues, the decluttering, the moving around of stuff from one spot to another.
This week I tacked my sewing basket and found some forgotten treasures in the depths.


Yep, I was back at Henri Marc again.
What can I say? I just love that place.
Plus they have a great spoon collection.


And another foodie love.
Tofu burgers.
Yep, tasteless, bland old tofu mixed with walnuts, onions,carrots and various other tasty morsels makes yummy burgers that anyone would love.


That's all for this week folks.
You all have a great week and see if you can find some joy everyday....or most days.
