Food and a quick train trip

Ah yes food is never far from my mind.....trying a bit of low carb eating here and lets see how I go.....smoked salmon, poached egg and tomato for breaky 

He had bacon, poached egg and tomato

We had a quick trip down and back again to visit Mum (Monday) and the weather was not great....ho hum, today it is even worse and it is suppose to be Autumn with warmer days.....

Now I bought this tiny pumpkin after Halloween and had never carved one so thought I would have a go.....

A bit shabby but hey that is how I roll.......

Also started something for a xmas pressie....

Finished a pair of fingerless mittens too 

Yesterday we took my car to have a service and they were keeping it overnight so we needed to catch the train back home....On the platform just checking the scenery

Car service place at Nissan Mitsubishi 

Here comes our train....one of those fast velocity types....apparently 140 klms+

And just look at us....we were happy but I could hardly see my phone so this was as good as I could take lol   

 

Last night (Wednesday) for fun I lit my little pumpkin up with a tea light candle....

Better late than never.....

And today (Thursday) I got on with finishing this road play blanket.....

Backed it with this neat fleecy ☺

And now it is all ready for birthday pressie giving.....

And also today look how happy we were this time on the train......much better lol 

I knitted my socks while he played Plants V Zombies on his mobile....

Well how is it all where you are?

Weather here is crazy crazy,wild wild.......

May your days be safe and kind to you all xoxo

Catching up with family and other things

Hello my friends....first off will update on my Mum ♥

She is in a hospital now where she gets physio Monday to Friday and is doing ok but limited movement still on her left side, but talking better and as happy as you could be, not being able to go home....I have been entertaining my brain with the crochet Sophie's Universe and enjoy when I force myself to do a round every now and again.....

I even managed to crochet a little apple tree for that fun rug I am doing via happyberrycrochet

The other morning I heard a crash on the wooden side fence and came upon this little dove looking very disheveled...... I noticed it had been swooped on by a small bird of prey, which I did not get a pic of as too fast but will put a Internet pic here to show...

The man covered the poor thing with a milk crate to give it some protection ☺

And here is the culprit.....which looks large in this pic, but was only about a foot tall....later we noticed the dove had moved on, well at least that is what we hoped ☺

Saturday I was going to stay at my dear girl's house for the night and they decided to have a meal out at Pancake parlour as a mother's day fun time ☺ Here is my oldest grandboy looking mighty fine and hungry ☺

My youngest boy and his beautiful wife ♥

Me and my girl lol

Her man ☺

The second grandboy's only pic with his awesome meal of cheese kransky pancake with a scoop of icecream lol 

Those loving newly weds sharing a Mexican crepe

Me and my girl both ate these wonderful Canadian pancakes, yummo with bacon, eggs, and some naughty butter 

Grandboy 1 had chicken parma 

Oh and look, that night I got to have lots of fur fun with their 3 cats. This one is Dexter and he looks like he is smiling ☺

And this fine fellow is Dante' with my handbag packed with Woody from toy story to come to stay with me for future road trips lol 

The 3 fur buddies, Sparrow, Dexter and Dante'....MEOW 

Woody is now happily relaxed in our lounge room and looking forward to trips with us in the future...

I have past on to Mum all the well wishes I have received and it certainly makes her smile

Hope things are going okay in your lives

xoxoxo

Time away from home visiting Mum

Hmmm has been a little while since I last posted.....we had a short trip away from our home to allow for easier visiting my Mum. She was moved from one hospital to another which was a lot further for us to drive so hooked up the Winjana and booked for 3 nights at a foreshore park in Rosebud info here 

It is a real nice spot and had never stayed here and roughly 500 metre walk to the hospital.....our spot was away from the trees so good for the solar panels

A short walk to check out the beach, which I only did on one of the days briefly and then watched a sunset on another evening ☺

The good old blundstone boots I wear a lot are great for lots of walking

It was a cool day but sunny

There were plenty of these guys having fun as the wind was strong

Lots of colourful boathouses 

Zoomed in on a cargo type ship sailing through the bay

Walking back to the Winjana, which I love to sleep in, I always seem to sleep better ☺

Toilet block if needed was also close 

The sun setting and lots of cloud around

Lovely and peaceful down here 

Looking towards Sorrento where a ferry goes between one side of part of the bay and the other to Queenscliff ferry info

A sunset zoom on the ferry ☺

Plenty of bush along the beach area

Us all hooked up again ready for heading back home after staying the 3 nights......Mum was moved late on the Sunday to a rehab type hospital and is currently staying there for a while, while they assess her 

The moon was not quite full but good enough for me on Sunday night 

When away we often pack up precooked meals which we freeze so can have a quick meal any time of day....this one was a yummy curry chicken with coriander seed rice ☺

The man checking out the television ☺

I have certainly tried to occupy my mind between many visits to Mum with a bit of crochet

A blanket I am working on for a future baby ☺

And this neat grass and road crochet which is going to be a large rug/playmat for a little boy I know later in the year.....It is from Happyberry crochet and a fun part by part release each week ☺ I am also still working on knitted socks and Sophies Universe....can never have too many wips....RIGHT ☺☺

Thank you again for your kind messages re Mum, she is going okay but of course not out of the woods yet as they say ☺☺
