Deja Vu.

Today was Thursday. So I indulged in my usual Thursday behaviour.

9.30am Bikram Yoga class followed by a turn around Gowans Auctions. This was the view in one of the sheds:

You really do have to concentrate very hard to revisualise items in a completely different context. It just wasn't working for me today, see:

Hmm? Maybe not.

Then the children and I headed to the beach - even though it usually results in not one but two additional loads of washing due to all of the sand. It was worth it though as look how beautiful and blue the weather was in Hobart:

I'm delaying the inevitable and giving myself another week before I need to embark on behaviour involving school preparation. Eek - uniforms, books, haircuts and worst of all school shoes as the boys need two pairs each.

Only two and a half weeks left of school hols.

Beach.

We have been having a beach holiday around Hobart. On Wednesday we were at Bellerive Beach while the first Sydney - Hobart maxi yachts were racing up the river:

And yesterday we went to friends' farm beach. It may have been 16 degrees, gloomy and threatening rain in Hobart - I was so convinced we'd be sitting around drinking tea inside by the heater that I went without a bikini. Yet forty minutes outside town it was perfect beach weather and I found myself cajolling Mimi into lending me her bikini for a swim:

It was spectacular:

Between three couples we had 15 children:

For dinner we had abalone and flathead from the beach. It was an idyllic day.
