glorious days

I love winter! Truly love it! I know that living in Qld means our winter is milder than some places, I haven’t seen snow here but I’ve lived in places where it gets below zero but I still love it.

Today was an awesome Brisbane winter day – chilly in the shade but toasty warm in the sun, no hint of the icy wind we’ve had for the last few days. We spent almost all day in a park with a friend of ours who we haven’t seen for a while. We got there early to secure a table near a BBQ and I set up all the stuff then sat reading a book with the sun warming my back while Miss A and my wonderful husband went for a walk around the park and checked out the ducks and various other water birds at the pond. Miss A was very excited because she saw a pelican. I think he must have lost his way up the river somewhere!

We were there for a good 5 or more hours when we relinquished the table to another family and went our separate ways. We stopped to do grocery shopping on the way home and I got to have a pat and cuddle of two gorgeous labradors who were waiting with a teenager outside the shop for her Mum. Such beautiful and loving dogs. I want to have one again one day   But then again, I would cheerfully have one of every dog on the planet if I could LOL.
