52 Blessings - Week 8

Yes I could have put up my own curtain rod and hung my own picture frames. But I’m grateful that the man about the house did it all for me, so that I didn’t have to. He’s a bit camera shy, so I had to get a little creative with this shot.

Too darn hot!!

It’s a sweltering one in Brisbane today…..the weather bureau forecasted 32 deg.C for a top in my area today. Considering it was 31 deg.C at 10am, there was never any doubt that it would climb higher towards the afternoon. We’re now sitting at 38 deg.C and not enjoying it in the slightest.

Kitty prison break

We must live in a good area.
