Nearly the end of the hol's

Okay the last few days of the hol's - I am not looking forward to the boys going back to school - I love the hanging out at home, the lazy days,  not having to do the morning rush , but alas all good things must come to an end!!
And it has been hot hot hot - sooo hot that I have been dreaming, okay obsessing about having a pool....

But enough of the obsessing, I have two days left with the boys so I will savour that!!

Real estate

I probably spend too much time looking at real estate on the computer  - I love looking at the ordinary homes and seeing how they decorate - perhaps it is a little like being a voyeur!!

So recently I was looking at  realestate.com.au and came across this home in St Kilda, Victoria - at $5.8mil it is a little out of my price range  - the home is beautiful  - but I am a little stumped about the photos  - not sure if they are trying to sell the home or the clothing range!!

Full pics can be found at real-estate.com.au -Property No. 106975716 -  the home is beautiful so worth a look see.

destination - Santorini

Sorry for my lax postings - it has been a busy week and I have had little energy or time to sit down and post - so once again my apologies!!
As I have sat watching the boys do swimming lessons over the last two weeks my mind has wandered the world - and I began to think of our holiday in Santorini - many many moons ago but the memories are so clear - so why not post about the island and lets have a look sees at where we could stay...

On the Rocks Hotel is at peak time around $600 per night - but what a view...

Or how about Carpe Diem -  I am not sure how much of the day I would seize if I have such luxury surrounding me!!

naturally one would need to indulge in daily massages!!!

Okay indulge me just once more as I dream of Santorini and staying at the San Antonio Hotel..

Back to reality  - I have to get the boys ready for Cricket...bugger I was enjoying the dream!  I wonder if I white washed the walls and painted all the furniture white....

Have a good weekend.

destination - the Caribbean

Dreaming of an island getaway - relaxing with G&T in hand, mesmerised by crystal clear oceans, walks along pristine sandy beaches, and the most scrumptious holiday home ever  - well then my friends take a look at this - okay at  unto $6k (Aust) per night it is a little out of my price range but oh to dream...Welcome to Villa AOM St Barts, the Caribbean!

Or for those on a less restricted budget than the $6 grand per night then perhaps Villa Wik, also in St Barts is the villa for you -at upto $15k per night (yep $15,000 Australian dollars per night)

Enjoy your weekend...

Queensland Australia

No desires for anything material, no whining about what I want, what I can't live without  - my thoughts are with those in Brisbane who are currently facing a nervous wait as flood waters rise.  Thoughts to all those families who have lost homes, who tonight have left homes behind not sure what they will return to.

If you wish to donate to the flood appeal then please go to this website...Queensland Flood Appeal  

Prayers and thoughts for all those affected by the floods in Queensland and Victoria.

The front room

Kath and Kim would call it the good room -but with two boys in tow and the fact that the space doubles as the extra TV room, with Wii and my study,  really it is not a good room at all.

But at last the painting is finished - shelves up and I am now in the process of getting the room back in order.

So here is where we started..

and the end result is still a work in progress but I can dream...
