Welcome To Monday ...

Hello Friends ...

It is a cool, overcast Monday morning here in Victoria, Australia. It rained most of yesterday, on and off, and still looks quite wet outside (although nothing is currently falling from the sky !). I hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying lovely sunshine and warmth.

My weekend was a nice one, fairly busy, and a lot of fun.

Saturday morning Chicky had her weekly netball game ... boy, this one was a ripper !! The two teams were fairly evenly matched, and it made for a great game. Chicky's team ended up winning 29 to 26 ... but it came close at the end !! It was so exciting, us parents were cheering like mad. The girls were so pleased that they had won, as the past couple of weeks had been losses, so their morale needed this win. It was wonderful.

Saturday evening I did a bit of baking ... nothing particularly exciting, just a cake or two. It was Hubby's birthday, but we were celebrating on Sunday, so Saturday had been a day of tidying up around the house, ready for visitors. We ended up having pizza for dinner ... as neither of us felt like cooking, and the pizza was home-delivered !!

Sunday was lovely, with Hubby's birthday visitors ... mainly family. It was a nice afternoon, with coffee, cake, drinks and nibblies. Lots of chatting, and lots of fun. He got some nice presents, which he is pleased about. My parents stayed somewhat later than everyone else (who had left by 6pm), as we watched our favourite TV show together.

I didn't do a lot of blogging over the weekend, just the odd visit here and there, so I intend visiting everyone throughout today. I know a lot of you are still on weekend time, as you have Monday off for Memorial Day. I hope you are making the most of the extended weekend, and filling it with lots of family time and fun.

I came across this lovely quote earlier, which I thought I might share with you ...

I have never come across anything in nature that is superfluous and does not fulfill a function. There seems to be no redundancy or unemployment in these natural worlds. Be it rock or plant, bird or tree, or even the bacteria within the soil, everything occupies a vital place in the dance of life.
--Michael Lindfield--

I hope you all have a wonderful week. Don't do anything I wouldn't do !!

Take care,

MEOW

UPDATE ... I received a couple more postcards in today's mail. Check them out at my postcard blog

I liked that quote and the photo, I'll bet the photo wasn't taken this week?

I have had an extended weekend with my 9-YO grand daughter K visiting. Her school district plans on a certain number of snow days in their annual calendar. They didn't need them so took one on Friday, giving them all a four day weekend. We have been having fun. I may have made a mistake by introducing her to indoor go karting. She loves it! The negative is the cost - $15 for ten minutes of driving time! We went back today for her second "race."

Meow,
Sounds like you had a full weekend. I love the photo, it's the kind of place I would be wading in and turning over rocks to see what's under them. Hope you have a great week. :-)

Belated Happy Birthday to your beloved hubby. Quotation is beautiful. Postcards are wonderful.

Granny said...

Pizza works for me.

Love the quotation.

We still have one more day on our weekend. Memorial Day tomorrow (Monday) here in the States.

Meow (aka Connie) said...

Dick ... you are so right ... the photo was taken last year, in the Daintree National Park, on our way back home from Port Douglas.
Go-Karting ... yay, so much fun. My Hubby and Chicky love it, there are lots of indoor go-kart tracks here. And they are also very expensive !!!

Diane ... thank you. yes the rock turning over is always tempting, except up there you may come across critters you don't really want to meet under the rocks !!

Fridays Child ... thank you.

Granny ... mmmm, Pizza. Enjoy your long weekend. Hope it's lots of fun.

Take care everyone, have a great week ... Meow
