what? blogtoberfest? not round these parts...

I read somewhere that apparently it's "blogtoberfest". How about 23rd of Octoberfest?! I seem to do all my blogging in one post. I try to up the frequency, I think I may have to give in an accept that I do it when I can and just move right along... so here I go - a catch up on the month behind me.

Shots from the yard - getting there slowly. A before shot when the walls were blue and the wisteria was purple:

And now, the walls chocolate and the wisteria white. We have decided the brown isn't "black" enough and will do another coat in a much darker shade. Like the colour it is in the shady patches. And the frames will be re-painted in white..

 

Pete has also planted a vegie patch and a big row of Birds Of Paradise along the back fence. SO many more plans..

I had my stall at Sisters Market. Great market but not so busy this time! At least I was somewhat amused by a certain delirious-cos-she-forgot-to-eat-lunch stallholder opposite... but you're all coming to the next one, right? To buy all your Chrissy pressies?

 

What Else? Getting ready for another big market - new stock and sizes! These fine wares will also be there. Quite excited about it... Speaking of, I finally got to meet this little chica not so long ago. Cuuuuute. Took Mahlie to the zoo - she loved it except for the butterfly enclosure in which she shrieked like a banshee whenever they flew near her... got outta there quick smart. Makeups galore - it's bwidal season.. those wascaling witches. Oooh did I just say that out loud? Oops. Going hard at the gym - did my first spin class GOD the pain the next day. And all the other dull daily grind stuff that's dull and I don't go on about it cos it's completely dull. Which is why I need a break from it so I am pissing off to Sydney with my friend and we are going for 3 whole nights. No nappies, housework, crying or whining, milk- getting or night waking. Just cocktail-drinking, decor-admiring, homeware-shopping, properly-dressing, jewellery-wearing(!), eating-in-peace and mag-reading.

*I confess, there could be some tear-shedding and sorely-missing. We'll see.

it's so great that you're going on a little get away, sounds fabulous and just what you need and deserve (well, you probably deserve an all expenses 3 month holiday in greece but what can you do...) and man, i LOVE spin class! i was never really into the gym until i did spin, so hard, but so fun and yes, the pain. i do have that tunic to try and fit into, maybe i need me a little fernwood, too
