mother's day - finally....

the best present of all....my 48th plate of strawberries...

beautiful signs here - I felt like I was somewhere exotic...

close enough to touch.....I didn't of course!

It has been a little crazy here the last few weeks, so I haven't posted properly for a while.

I was checking my photos on my camera, and I had forgotten my mother's day shots from last weekend.

I know it is a little late posting them (like - a week behind), but at the moment I feel like my whole life is always a week behind!

We had a fun day, and I was spoilt with a sleep in and breakfast at a cafe.I would have just been as happy to be left in a dark room to sleep all day, but instead we were off to have afternoon tea at the Melbourne zoo. It was a lovely surprise and even though I was recovering from my sickness (brought on by the bloody flu shot), a great day was had by all.

I haven't been to the zoo for about 20 years, so I was like a tourist taking photos of all the signs and the carvings of the elephant houses. 

My other highlight of the occasion was.... I was given a coffee machine - woo hoo!

We have been having an obsession with coffee for a few years now and the amount of money we spend on takeaways is ridiculous, it I'm sure it will pay for itself in a month or so.......mmmm did I say fathers' day or mother's day? 

Cheeky bugger. For father's day I think I might get him a new vacuum cleaner!
