The Daily Grind

We have both settled in to a bit of normality over here. The weeks are filled with Ollie going to school, me going to work, having dinner together in the evenings, Ollie studying and me doing my own thing so as not to distract him from studying :) (this normally involves watching TV, reading or working on a craft project).

Our weekends often involve going out for brunch together - our weekly treat - walking to the supermarket for our weekly grocery shop, and study. The last couple of weekends, Ollie has studied with Wayne and some classmates, while Wayne's fiancee Suzanne and I have spent time together. This weekend just been Suzanne and I went to the Body & Soul Festival. The study sessions often end with a BBQ at Wayne's place.

My job is going well. I work 2.30pm - 5.30pm, Mon- Fri, in The Atrium Cafe. I also get a few extra hours here and there depending on what is happening. Last week we catered for a monring tea - for the opening of a company called Elephant Property, so I prepared most of the food for this, including these cupcakes.

Realised we didnt include a photo of the outside of our place, so here you go :) the garden area in front of our apartment is currently being landscaped so once it has been finished we'll get some photos of that too.

Our place is the ground floor window on the otherside of the ramp.

We often walk along by the river - its a chance to look at some boats.....

There are often events happening in City Park - which as we've mentioned before we think of it as our back yard. We went to listen to the Tasmanian Youth Orchestra yesterday and had a little picnic.

Not part of the orchestra...but they live in the park!

Might not be able to see them so well, but they are a type of monkey.

And Ollie, head in the books - a very common site!
