I'm on a roll... some photos of a happier and healthier weekend..

After being laid up with bronchitis  last weekend and only venturing outside to go to the Doctor or to the Chemist, it was nice to just get out and about and feel relatively normal again.. Yes I still have a yucky cough and sniffles that most people want tend to veer away from, but I almost feel like me again! 

On Saturday I managed a little walk to my local village to pick up my new iPhone cover.. if that wasn't going to make me happy, nothing was.... I loved it!

Next I went to Seven Seeds, voted on all the best coffee lists in Melbourne for a bit of a treat after a crappy week.. Then it was jumping on the train to pick up Darby from my parents.. it was nice not having to worry about driving and just sit back and relax and enjoy the countryside! We do a swapsie half way! 

Darby was excited to see me... smother me in cuddles and tell me all the fun things he managed to do at Grandma and Grandpa's.. its amazing in just 3 short days he seemed to have matured and his little face looked so grown up.. I bet when I arrive back from my holiday in July he will be soo different! 

On Saturday night we caught up for dinner with Darby's dad.. It seems funny that the three of us to can go out to dinner together as a family.. but it somehow works.. from the outside we look like any other family enjoying a night out for a meal at the pub.. makes me try not to pigeon hole people when I observe them.. 
For a family that is not really a cohesive unit any more.. the dynamics still work and we laugh and have fun and can converse as normal.. We finish dinner and go our separate ways.. It can feel a little hollow sometimes when we say our goodbyes.. but I am used to it now and Darby is fine... we can be adults about it and friends... I still cant believe it really! 
When Darbs and I got home we got in our Jim jams, had some ice-cream and relaxed watching some old school Superman.. a perfect end to Saturday night! 

 


On Sunday I had the morning to myself.. I went for coffee and read the paper.. this was bliss.. I then had a quick look around the shops.. I really have blinkers on at the moment trying not to buy anything.. my mantra.. "I will be in London in 7 weeks.. I will be in London in 7 weeks".. this does work and keeps my money firmly in my wallet....

In the afternoon, Darby and I attended a charity event with my aunt and uncle.. Darbs loved having his face painted like Batman and he was super lucky to win a raffle.. a big tub of cars... Heaven for him and for me... I had a peaceful Sunday evening whilst he happily played with his new toys! Ahh!

I  am linking up for the first time with Lou - for Point and Shoot ... Her photos are exquisite.. very inspiring... and they are of Melbourne this week! So cool...

Until Next time.. Life is too short for crappy coffee..
