One of those days

Today has been one of those days.

 

 

The kind of day when the temperature plummets 20 degrees from the previous week's blistering heat and gives you sweet relief. The kind of day when you wake up to the sound of rain drumming steadily on the roof for an hour and you roll out of bed smiling because you've been longing for that sound for an age. One of those days that you KNOW is going to be lovely.

 

Coffee and banana bread in Pialligo with the Jackman. Redecorating the boys bedrooms. Harry telling me all he'd learnt about ant colonies today in Kindy & watching him run back to the classroom to give his teacher a hug. Lots of lovely little things.

 

 
The kind of day when you transform a batch of over ripe fruit into a luscious sweet treat for dessert. And all it takes is a bit of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon & nutmeg and a slow oven to caramelise pears, peaches and apricots to perfection.
 
 
Love having one of those days.

  1. When I first saw the title I thought this was going to be an "Urghhhh... One of THOSE days when you just want to snuggle in bed and make the world drown away".
