random snippets...

Another action-packed week is done and dusted - and every day brings us closer and closer to Christmas, yew! I am such a little child at heart and love all things holiday-related - even more so this year as my entire family will be over in New Zealand from late December, and celebrating Christmas with the extended family, which is just brilliant, and does not happen anywhere near frequently enough for my liking! Is it mad to already be planning what I am going to pack?


Treated myself to a takeaway brekky from lee&me on Friday, world's best bircher muesli and a coffee...


I recently won an awesome prize from the lovely Heidi over at Apples Under My Bed - coconut flour! I am extremely excited to give this a whirl, think I am going to try Heidi's choc-cherry cake recipe...



I absolutely LOVE Christmas brochures! The DJ's one is always a bit special, lots of dog-earing of pages and circling gift ideas


Sunday morning brekky parfaits...


Followed by scrambled eggs (courtesy of my parents' chickens - check out those gorgeous, golden yolks!)


With sourdough from the produce markets


Picked up some gorgeous David Austen roses from the florist


I have never seen Lissianthus in such a gorgeous shade of pink!


Never let it be said that I don't get the best value possible out of my flower purchases!


And a bit more...


I have been inducted into the hallowed halls of Dyson-owning elite this weekend, and I am truly a convert! I did the floors two days ago with my old vaccuum, and did them again with Mr Dyson this afternoon and picked up a truly OBSCENE amount of cathair *eep*
Think I am going to start classifying my life as BD (before Dyson) and AD (after Dyson)


The kittehs send their love

What's been happening this weekend? Hope the weather has been lovely wherever you are!

  4. Oh I miss home laid eggs. My parents don't have chickens anymore and my place is just too tiny.
    I was truly appalled at myself the first time I did a dyson vacuum. They are THE BEST.

  9. I always have food envy looking at your blog. Bircher muesli is the bomb! I concur re the Dyson too. I actually enjoy vacuuming now. Weird huh. Pretty flowers.
