It's been hectic at work as I head to the end of our Company's FY & the dreaded new FY budget argy-bargy. To make matters a thousand times worse, MOTH's been home all week with the mother of all Man Colds caught on his Big Boy's Fishing Trip. I need to escape the moaning patient - he's driving me crazy! Movies, golf, shopping - ANYTHING!!! If you're planning an escape this weekend, I hope it's a wonderful one.Image: The gorgeous Zida @ Studio Z.
Life in the little village of Stirling in the hills above Adelaide in South Australia is just about as good as it gets! Enjoying a cool climate and 'hill-station' feel, Stirling is well-known for its 19th-century stone villas set on large grounds dense with roses, camellias, rhododendrons and huge old Oaks. With 3 sons, 3 grandchildren & my work in a scientific business dominated by yes, more men, The Laurel Hedge was born out of my sheer desperation for something the boys just don't get & never will!
Oh men make the most of their illness whenever they're struck down, don't they? We are absolutely escaping the SJW to-do list this weekend, we nearly broke our backs lugging rocks from here and there to the retaining wall last weekend. ENOUGH! You have a lovely weekend too. Georgie x
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need a spa day. Whatever you do, have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe moaning patient! Oh aren't they all when they are sick? Oh dear. Yes, Millie...escape to the movies..and a dinner. :) Hope he's better soon!
ReplyDeleteOff to spend a birthday weekend with my family = bliss!
ReplyDeleteI hope that MOTH stops flapping his wings and feels better soon.
xx Felicity
PS: I always imagined your hedge having a secret door in it that only you knew about that would enable you to escape to somewhere wonderful - I'm thinking you should action that ASAP if it doesn't already exist.

At you breaking point? Man colds will do that to you for sure, no doubt. Drive off and turn up the music in your car, sing along until your car finds itself parked at your favorite eatery or just go through the drive thru and then head over to the movie theater. Buy one ticket for "The Tourist" with Johnny Depp and Angelina, trust me. Make sure you bring your big purse so you can bring a favorite beverage (soda, beer, wine,?). Make sure you get a bag of plain M&Ms to smuggle in as well, but do buy a movie popcorn. When you find your seat, take the M&Ms and dump them into your hot buttery popcorn. The movie is good, I won't give it away. If you are too snockered to drive home, call me, I love a good dunk call. Have fun, Heidi
ReplyDeleteOh do, do something fun Millie! Man colds are just the worst! xxoo
ReplyDeletehope MOTH is feeling much better, making you feel much better;)
