Day 361 - A relaxed gathering

Today was a very hard day to choose just one photo for.
We caught up with Jen, Jodi, Julie, Brett and Cohen. When choosing my photo I could have had one of the girls dressed up in their pirate costume, the kids playing on the trampoline, the family eating and playing but instead I ended up picking this photo of Cohen. I picked this photo because his body language represents everything our gatherings are - good food, interesting conversation and just generally relaxing together, which I think the gorgeous Cohen is doing a wonderful job of here.
Thanks Jen, Jodi, Julie, Brett and Cohen for a lovely afternoon and for giving me an excuse to use my Kitchen Aid for the first time.

Day 196 - What a wonderful day.

Booked in a very girlie day with my wonderful friend Mel today. We started with a lovely, but interesting, massage in Griffith. We followed that up with a delicious lunch at Idelic in Kingston. Here I discovered the best hot chocolate I have ever had. Words cannot describe it, you just have to go try it yourself.

After all this luxurious food and relaxation, we hit the shops on a boot mission. With a lot more success than I had ever anticipated. Diana Ferrari had a sale nothing over $70, where I found 2 lovely pairs of boots. Even Mel who was only coming along as moral support bought herself a pair of new boots.

Thanks Mel for not only a wonderful day, but everything else that has come along with our friendship. I'd be a little lost without you nowadays.

Day 171 - Blissful quiet time.

There is no better place to go to relax without the girls than at the hairdresser. I went to visit my wonderful hairdresser Vanessa today. Usually while I am there I flick through all the gossip magazines and have a chat to Vanessa. Instead I packed my Kindle to catch a quiet moment for reading. I haven't had a lot of time to do that lately, so it was nice to be pampered while I read.

Now my challenge is to get the girls used to this quiet relaxation while at Vanessa's.
