Stormy Saturday

Well hello there.  I left you with this lovely day pic while we were at city pad......well a couple of  hours later it was much different 

We took a tram ride to go and check out a nearby outdoor market and rain started.....

Heaps of rain 

and had to just get wet, to go across this road for the tram back. No way were we walking in this lol 

yes we did get wet and you can see all the people huddled under the tram shelter outside our place 

rain fell for hours and I have never heard thunder so loud 

amazing out the back 

and the front of our building a bit later and pretty much a creek flowing by lol 

but later in the evening all settled again 

I got to work on my crochet sock 

and enjoy this view ☺☺

Well that was Saturday and will be back tomorrow with post of a surprise birthday 

Rain and more catching up

Well we have had a fair bit of rain here and the local creek turned into a river for a few days.....

It is way down in town so not near us as we are up a large hill....

More low carb cooking and this mexican-chicken-tortilla-soup is delish.....I just made a few adjustments with what I had here ☺☺

Still watching catchup of Game of Thrones almost season 4.....

I had a night down at my daughter Sarahs house and her guy Shannon loved the hat I crocheted for him and Batty my other grandboy has grown a lot....

We watched Labryinth not to everyones liking but I have fond memories while kids growing up ☺☺

and another fun one The Dark Crystal also great memories ♥

Youngest grandboy Riley loves Sarah's cats and here in a dark picture he is loving one of them and me in the background....

a much better pic of Riley in the morning trying to have fun with Dante' her oldest cat ♥♥

I also visited little baby April again and watched her having a swimming lesson at almost 6mths of age ☺☺ no pics this visit......

I bought a lovely ball of wool from a local lady heathermaid etsy shop while I was at a makers market in town on weekend....I bought classic rainbow and the colours are great ☺☺

hooking a hat up

I also made zucchini lasagna by just substituting the pasta with zucchini slices and was so yum.....we have had the leftovers for breakfast yesterday and today ☺☺

Am making Paul some black fingerless mitts ready for our overseas trip in aug/sept/oct ♥

and the hat complete with a little black border ☺☺

it is reversible and this is the other side ♥

I used this pattern ravelry.com/patterns/library/reversible-strands-for-men-and-women-too and so easy even though looks complicated....spiral ribbing so neat 

and have now started a knitted hat joining ravelry.com/patterns/library/scrapalong so will be interesting how this goes 

today for lunch I made low carb pizza with chicken bacon mushroom olives....the crust is pretty well just eggs and cheese and some leftovers for later ♥

More rain is falling, although the flooding/river rising is less for now

In this pic an hour ago you can't even see the rain.....

well tomorrow we are expecting temp range 2-10 celcius so awesome lol lol

keep warm out there and for you who are enjoying summer, ENJOY xoxoxo

Crazy weather

Well we sure got some rain on Tuesday and much needed, but temperatures have been 28+ Celsius 

Crazy wind blowing the gum tree around

Yes this looks like a junk heap lol rain pouring down 

Neighbors gutters have lots of holes.....

Even the Winjana got a wash ☺☺

A small pond forming

Bouncing of the little tin shed 

The plants were really soaking it up....

And as fast as it began it was gone again.....have had quite a few more hot days and today, Friday is cool again with little chance of rain 

We have some of the family coming for a night next week, so the man has put up a tent for fun ☺

There he is being blown about lol 

Good sized 3 man tent 

Plenty of room inside ☺☺

I have most of our presents already wrapped and Ratus is guarding them for me ♥

Completed these mittens my own pattern ☺

And these lovely ones, which are small so hope they fit ☺

And again working on my sock.....getting close to the toe now ☺

How is all your Xmas shopping/making going?

xoxoxoxoxo

Twins and other things

Hello my friends, aren't these babies cute.....some of you will have seen them on facebook

They belong to my nephew and wife so I am a great aunt again to 2 baby girls ☺☺

Georgia on the left in pink hat and Grace on the right in mauve hat

These are the babies I crocheted those......

Blankets for 

And the mum and dad were very delighted with them

They have 2 other children so now parents to 4 under 5 ☺☺

We had breakfast in a neat cafe on Monday while car was getting serviced  and noted this interesting light.....

it is made up of lots of little body figures, neat eh.....

We had coffee and drank plenty of water....and speaking of water you should have see the rain!

Cannot really notice in this picture but it was wild wind and HEAPS of rain.....

And as you can see the drive back was not fun and the wipers were going flat out.......

Oh and the man had a bit of a trim on his hair ☺☺

This is a breakfast I had last week at a local cafe of 2 poached eggs with potato rosti and pumpkin and toast, very very nice and highly recommend 3 little birds cafe to anyone who lives local to us......

The man had a toasted ham/tomato, cheese with a poached egg on top...

Today the rain has eased a little but boy that wind is crazy crazy.......

Just lucky our sheets and doona cover have not ended up at the neighbors lol 

My boy and his lovely wife are on their honeymoon over in California and look forward to hearing/seeing all about it...

How is the weather at your place.....

take care xoxoxoxo
