Apia international

This week seen me tripping off with my gorgeous friend to watch the Tennis. I just adore watching the Tennis and this is the second year in a row we have headed down to Sydney.
For the Apia International at Olympic Park


We were very lucky to be there early in the tournament so we had a huge choice of players to watch


We watched Sam Stosur win her first match and then the next day watched her lose the second.


Del Potro is always amazing to watch, we were lucky as we also got to watch B Tomic, S Groth and many many other  fabulous players.

Our second day seen us fortunate enough to get to meet and get the autographs of  Ken Rosewall and later in the day Bernard Tomic.


The evening of the second day as we drew closer to Nick Kyrgios playing the weather decided not to play fair and it started to rain , not a huge downpour but enough that the players came out on the court, then promptly left again. When the rain stopped we watched as the volunteers and ball boys and umpires dried the court with towels. This scene was repeated again twice and finally late at night the players finally played there game, unfortunately Nick did nt win, but the stadium was just electric and it was a great game.

The healthy eating / exercise regime went well the first week with a loss of over 1.5kgs , unfortunately the Tennis was not so kind to healthy eating, with little or no healthy options and returning home to night duty has severely restricted the exercise program, it s very hard to be motivated when your tired. So I m dreading the weigh in tomorrow but i m not in a  hurry to lose the weight and i have to live my life and this is part of life so I am just going to get back on tract as of today. Chat again soon . . . .

Although I don't mind watching tennis on the tv I couldn't sit in the heat and watch it - but a great few days you had - some great matches and players to watch. You don't need excuses for not losing weight - you were on holiday and you enjoyed it!!

Toorale homestead - Louth

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden years for the homestead were betw

Scrappy chook quilt

So I have been keeping this one under wraps, not on purpose mainly just because I have been a very lazy blogger. A few months ago, as most of you know I had a visit to chookyblue's place, whilst there I had the pleasure to sleep under some of her gorgeous quilts. But one in particular took my fancy I just loved the scrappiness of this quilt, the lovely colours but mainly just the simple design. So when I headed up to Nundle for my retreat, I sent the lovely Kerry a photo and she assured me she could pull together some lovely fabrics and guide me, to put this lovely quilt together. When I arrived at Nundle This lovely bundle of fabrics awaited me The girls and I used the black and white feature on the iPad to determine light medium and dark fabrics I spent 3/4 of the first day creating these squares, I think I frustrated Miss Joolz because I just could not be random, I had to be organised I didn't want to get end and end up wit

Burren junction - Brewarinna

Beds on Barwon We left Newcastle at a reasonable time on Friday morning not gadgets ( my husband) usual 4am start and headed west.  We really never planned this trip out as such we vaguely decided that sitting by a river with a fire was our plan , a chance to take a deep breathe and slow down our lives for a bit. Almost 13 years ago we were extremely fortunate to do the darling river run with some wonderful friends and thought that we would love to repeat that trip and hopefully see the Darling river with water this time.  However at this stage our plans are a little up in the air with the road to Louth currently closed due to rain and some of the national parks closed for the same reason. Soo where are we heading , not sure but wherever we are heading it will be an adventure. So on day one we drove to Burren Junction where we spent our first night of our adventure at a truck stop  This is our new travelling Duo Reggie ( car) and Ruby ( van) we decided last year it was time to say good
