Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 337: More storms and Bridget

Fell in love with pears and raspberries ( leftover from Steve's divinely yummy raspberry coulis that he used on my birthday cake on Saturday night) today ... before another storm rolled in (the latest in a long line) just as I was heading out to a combined birthday dinner and movie with Bridget in Newtown. By the time we reached Newtown, the water was ridiculously high but we managed to find a park and not get sploshed by buses racing past on King Street - I leapt delicately out of the way at one point much to Bridget's amusement) - before heading in to see Nightcrawler with dinner at Happy Chef afterwards. Bridget also very sweetly took me in to HUM and told me to pick out anything I wanted as a present. A wonderful, fabulous night ...

Thank you for my present Bridget!!

And Rachel sent me a pic of her and my mum and Jordan celebrating Nanna's retirement home Christmas at mum and dad's place because Nanna doesn't like the formal events ...

And here's a fabulous shot of Amie and Noah ... just gorgeous ...

Got a gorgeous shot from my brother Steve today of he and his son Noah ... so sweet ...

And yes I ate one of the pieces of cake leftover from last night already ... no willpower ... while Steve was at ACO with Alan ...

Helen suspects this might be the last year that Zara can do the MYER Santa Train :D

Gorgeous shots today of NOAH with mum Amie and Jordan in one of mum Rachel's tops after her clothes git wet at a play date, followed by shot of Rachel in the same top ...

Somewhere in amongst receiving all these shots, went to see Two Days, One Night at Dendy Newtown ...

He's getting to be a very big boy and still a cutie!

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 322: Noah and Spiders and Alan Duffy on Twitter

Fabulous night at Spiders with Kris, Wade, Jenn and Sel (who left prior to the photo being taken) and a fab shot of Noah and great tweet back from the hunky Alan Duffy ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 319: Much delayed catch up with my friend Heather + Noah

I finally caught with my dear wonderful friend from FedEx days Heather and it was just like old times.

Lots of talking, lots of yum cha, laughter and an afternoon of shopping. Admittedly I am not flush with cash so my shopping was limited to two toys on special at MYER for Zara and Noah but we had a ball checking a fabulous band called Winterbourne in Pitt St Mall, checking out the Christmas decos in DJs and MYER and wandering all over the City.

An absolutely brilliant afternoon.

And here's the latest shot of adorable Noah ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 311: Jacarandas, Jason Lee and Noah

The Jacaranda trees are in full bloom on Coulson Street and they remind me so much of growing up in Grafton and its Jacaranda Festival.

Then met up with Jason Lee who was back in town for a few days before heading out to Sierra leone to be part of the admin of the fight against Ebola. Brave man! So good to see him and Luke and Jeremy and yes the food at Stir Crazy has improved!

And here's another shot of my super adorable gorgeous nephew Noah ...
