a beautifully somber weekend

the clouds rolled over and filled the sky on saturday morning. i couldn't think of a greater welcoming to the weekend. the QLD sun is harsh. abrasive and relentlessness to the point where even five minutes of it is more depleting than invigorating. im really not complaining, i do know i have it pretty good. but it has felt so calm and safe with an extra roof in the sky. even our little screechy has been basking in the grounding tranquillity.

he has been at peace and quiet and still as well as taking naps during the day which is a rarity for this bird as he suffers from chronic uncontrollable hyperactivity.

so, saturday happens like this...

chores. 
a fresh batch of coco - nutty muesli. 
stuff.
picnic lunch of leftover veggie pasta salad

followed by more stuff. 
gym. 
dinner of lentil soup and late night movie watching - life of pi. beautiful. 

sunday gets even better!!

breakfast baking - dairy and gluten free coconut berry drops.

followed by creamy dairy free pumpkin and cauliflower soup.

and then, dinner with friends. the best. 

message to take home - don't hate on the weather. ride it. its a much more enjoyable journey.
