I feel like we're hurtling towards the end of the school year at an alarming rate.
I start to think that things are slowing down and I can catch a breath but next thing I know our calendars are full again. I'm learning quickly to manage things when they crop up as well as to take the spur of the moment opportunites to relax and do something with those I love.
Last week was the perfect case in point. I feel like I'm up to my ears in paperwork of some kind lately and in the middle of what ended up being a really busy week, hubby and I were able to spend some time together.
While out and about up the coast we were able to squeeze in a wonderful lunch at The Bridge Seafoods at Mooloolaba
We ended up sharing the seafood platter which was very, very tasty and full of prawns, oysters, sand crab, moreton bay bugs, chips and calamari. It's been ages since we've done something like this and was just the tonic in an otherwise busy week.
My Dad is also home from hospital. There were a few issues and delays with his recovery as he had to have a few blood transfusions and there was a problem with his wound not draining properly but the surgeon was really happy with how the hip replacement operation itself went.
He ended up in hospital for 9 days but is home now and recovering as well as can be expected. He's sore of course and the heat we are experiencing right now probably isn't helping.
It's been pretty terrible with temperatures in the mid to high 30's Celsius most days. Some days are dropping to just below 30 (today is forecast for 29 Celsius) but it's still really muggy and humid. The rest of the week they're forecasting it to be back in the mid to high 30's and it's not even summer yet!
Anyone that has been reading my blog for awhile knows that I don't like the heat and don't cope with it very well which is a bit ridiculous when I live in such a warm climate.
At the moment though it's even worse because there are so many devastating fires about. Outside is a constant haze of smoke from fires up near Noosa, and Central Queensland and northern New South Wales are especially experiencing some horrendous fire storms.
Everything is incredibly dry and there's no rain in sight to help give some relief to the exhausted fire fighters who are doing an incredible job.
So for now, we're just continuing on as best we can and dealing with what's in front of us. We're also very aware of how fortunate we are that we're not in the pathway of any fires, but you can't be too careful as mother nature is so unpredictable and everything is so dry.
As a result of everything else going on, I haven't been getting much crochet done. I can say that I'm about to start on the purple section of my latest make which is the last colour change.
Since I'm making it with a wool mix I'm only working on it when I have the air conditioners on of course!
I hope everyone is safe where you are and are able to enjoy your week.

I'm glad to hear your dad is home and making a recovery. My dad is on the waiting list for a hip replacement. I can't begin to comprehend such temperatures. For us a heatwave is rare and if we get near 30c we go crazy LOL We did have some 30+ in places the last couple of summers, but only short lived. Those fires sound terrifying! Take care out there, best Jane x
I'm glad your dad is home and making a steady recovery. I wish him well.
I've heard about the fires on the news, it must be so frightening for those in the pathway. Stay safe. X
Hello!
Your lunch date looks and sounds amazing!
And I am happy your Dad is home healing.
As you are in the midst of the heat, we are starting to turn cold here!
Like you, I do not handle the heat well!
Prayers for all involved in the fires.
Hugs from way over here!
OMGoodness,. that seafood platter looks delicious! How nice to have a date out with your husband. We're going into our cold time now with a fire in our pellet stove. I got one shell blanket done.. now to start the second one. Have a great week. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Your crochet looks lovely!
Lovely to have that time to spend with your husband enjoying a delicious lunch. Like you, I am not one for this heat either as I find it just saps my energy. I get out in the garden, walk the dog early and then spend the rest of the day inside working on little projects. Yesterday, I made drawstring bags to go in Xmas parcels I'm putting together. Good to hear your Dad is home as I'm sure it's a relief for you and for him too. Meg:)
Hi I hope everyone is fit and well now. What a difference locations make, fire storms there and flooding here if only we could sent the rain where it is needed. Your crochet is a lovely set of colours, stay safe. x
Working in your organic garden can be greatly enjoyable, but also messy. You can re-use plastic bags as impromptu shoe-covers so that you can enter your house without tracking in garden mud. This will allow you to deal with any indoor necessities quickly and get back to your gardening faster.

You should plan your eating so you can avoid impulse eating. When you are eating, focus on your food, not on the tv, the phone, or anything else. Don't clean your plate. You should only eat until you feel slightly full.

When you are in the throes of a powerful food craving, it is sometimes difficult to remember the commitment you have made to good health. Try putting quotes on your refrigerator, inside your pantry doors and other places you will notice them, to help you stop for a second and get refocused on your goal.
