And yet again I am months behind in blogging. This will be a pretty short post though because we didn’t that much and apparently I took even fewer pictures.
I didn’t stay up for New Years Eve, like usual, but we did drive down to the beach for our traditional New Years Day polar bear swim. It was windy and cool so we just dunked and left.

I felt like we were wasting away our whole summer so I booked us an Airbnb for a long weekend in Warrandyte to trick us into thinking we were on holiday (when really we only had to drive 30 minutes). It actually worked, the Airbnb was up in the trees and really spacious. We went out for a few meals, swam in the river, played games, and watched movies. It was very relaxing.

I started a new project, a sweatshirt.
And I finished these jellyfish socks with that much navy yarn to spare! Just enough to kitchener stitch the toe and weave in the ends. I won yarn chicken that day.
January unpictured stuff:
- We saw Rufus Wainwright at the Melbourne Recital Center and it was very lovely.
- Big dumpling dinner in the city. Always good.
- We went to a Middle Eastern restaurant for a #SMAJ activity and ordered a huge platter.
- I played a lot of pickleball.
- Scott’s procedure got postponed.
The power went out on a very very hot day so we decided to slow walk to Chadstone for fro yo instead of roasting ourselves at home. The fro yo was great and by the time we got home the power was back on. Mission success.
I got a new phone so now I can take good pictures from a lot further away haha.
If you’ve ever traveled with me you would have seen my suitcases that I painted 20ish years ago. It really does make it so much easier in the airport. My skills have improved since then… very happy with how my new carry on bag came out. There are sprinkles on all sides for 3D identification.
February unpictured stuff:
- After months of waiting, Scott finally got his blood patch done!! He felt better about a week later but had to be very careful with his movements.
- Helping prepping as much stuff as possible so that Scott would be OK when I left to go to Malaysia.
- A work dinner to celebrate Leon finishing his placement.
