Solstice skies
The sky at 4 o’clock tonight was the most amazing shade of dusky pink. And if it hadn’t been for my alarm to take the photo, I wouldn’t have looked up to see. I wanted to do something special with the solstice. I haven’t quite managed it yet. But the nearest dawn is tomorrow at…
Streethub – online access to independent fashion and boutique stores
While I was away at camp I was approached to review Streethub, which declares itself to be the way to discover the best independent fashion and design boutiques.

The perfect holiday
Would not involve sickness bugs 😉 I’m blogging on the offchance that I’ll get selected as a MarkWarnerMum. They’d like to know what my perfect holiday would be.

Moon at sunset
At 4 o clock. It’s worth looking up. Not been a good day, got a tummy bug so couldn’t take kids to swimming, so they were a bit disappointed. (And bouncing off the walls. ) Weird actually, as this morning I felt good and even managed a run. Haven’t been able to focus much though.…
