What I Loved: The Beach

cleaning my desk

Sunday morning, so it’s time for What I Loved this week!

 

On Tuesday I was going to clean my desk so that it’s useable, but the closest I got was taking this photo:

My maturity skyrocketed this week when I kept gigging at this sign in Bunnings:

Then, still in Bunnings, there was a fantastic display of irony:

The Irony Saw – good band name?

 

I scored this for $3.50 in Typo! Love a markdown section 🙂

I love Udon Noodle Soups – grabbed this for lunch when there was enough time to go home but not enough time to nap one day!

My dog was giving out watchful, suspicious eyes this week:

The sky was fantastic when we went for a walk on the beach this week – and the water was perfectly see-through and nice and cool to walk in. Love this time of year!!

At one point, I was walking just in the edge of the ocean, and I turned to my right and saw a person…out in the ocean, standing up. Totally threw me for a second. Naturally, it was a stand up paddleboarder:

I saw this sign up when I was out and thought it was a great idea; I’ve got to say, the serenity of the beach in the morning is easily ruined by people yelling at each other from bikes or from boot camps on the beach.

And then it was back to the beach again for fresh air. I love the air this time of year. The humidity has gone and it feels so nice to get to breathe non air conditioned, non wet air.

I started a new book this week – it’s a bit old now but it’s interesting so far:

Last night was sheer perfection. A great fire, a hammock, and watching Serenity on the outdoor screen. My idea of a perfect Saturday night!

And then the fire was turning different colours:

What did you love this week?

  1. Those clouds! I love looking at clouds and the shapes they make. I could cloud spot for hours and not get bored of it! Looks like you had a great week, and how good is your weather? Please send some our way. I haven’t tidied my desk for about 3 years, but I left my job on Friday and everyone was in shock, not at me leaving, but at the big reveal of the clean desk! Hope your weekend is looking as wonderful as your week x

      I love cloud porn 🙂 Especially summer storms! Weather is so great here in Brisbane right now, finally less humidity. I felt a bit guilty having such good weather with NSW getting such a hammering. I hope the job leaving is working well for you 🙂

  2. I loved your book choice and Bunnings irony!!! I loved that after a very wet start to this week it finally stopped raining – yay!!!!

  3. Your Udon Noodle Soup looks super yum. I have cleaning my desk at the top of my to-do list tomorrow. I must! It is getting ridiculous!
