Well, the best laid plans & all that! Not as much progress as I'd hoped for this weekend, but for one very nice reason - Son #2 surprised us by arriving late Friday evening from Melbourne with his girlfriend. They'd decided to make a big weekend of it here catching lots of Adelaide Fringe shows & spending a day soaking in the sight & sounds of world music at WOMAD.
Yesterday he wanted to show his girlfriend who is Dutch the gorgeous Adelaide Hills & as it was such a beautiful day, we downed tools & went along as well. So back to it today (a public holiday in South Australia), I can hear MOTH smashing the last of the tiles from the wall in the bathroom as I do this quick post, so I'd better scoot off & start labouring for him!
Photos look lovely and it sounded a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteMOTH forgot to use his spray tan around his ankles....LOL - you can tell a true labourer!!!!!
Oh Millie, sounds like you had a lovely weekend....
ReplyDeleteI love the Adelaide Hills, so pretty and green, almost like you have stepped into a postcard.
Enjoy your day working with MOTH today...
MOTH looks like a very proud Papa!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice weekend that must have been. Lovely cocktail spots. They do go quickly don't they?
The weekends...not the cocktails!
I am gelous. Thank you for sharing more of your beautiful country. I am back to brousing real estate down there. Who knows what the future holds
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Is this Italy or Australia?
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and we all need to play hookey now and then - call it a mental health day someone told me, enjoy your lovely family, Mel xxx
ReplyDeleteCouldn't think of a better reason to play hookey than drinking wine & spending time with family! Looks like you had a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteP.S. My husband's a builder and he has the 'white socks' look too. V. cute.
Millie, you always make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI think I know that route in SA. We did it a few times (when we lived in Adelaide) and we had visitors from Europe. I am not surprise I don’t remember everything!! Too much tasting.
Have a very lovely week!
