Dentist, fresh bread, shopping

1. Dentist appointment over for another year. No cavities!

2. Cheese and vegemite in a fresh bread roll for lunch.

3. I forgot to take my shopping list with me today but I only missed one item - garlic.

Park, Genius, GoT

1. Walking through the park on a chilly autumn day.

2. The Apple genius fixes the problem with my iPhone.

3. I haven't seen yesterdays episode of Game of Thrones yet. I can watch it tonight after the kids are in bed.

Painting, weekend, casserole

1. We spend an hour and a half at Games Workshop where the kids are shown how to paint miniatures. Jasmine's turns out surprisingly sophisticated. I practice my skills on an elven steed. It's nice to get back to a hobby I had before children took over my life.

2. Plans for the weekend come together and everyone knows what is going on.

3. Pork casserole with chilli and sage and lemon and falling-apart goodness.

Bed, TV, jumper

1. Snuggling down in bed on a cold dark morning.

2. Game of Thrones - season 5 episode 2!

3. I give in to the inevitable and put on a jumper for the first time this year. I'm not particularly excited about the upcoming Canberra winter, but my jumper is warm and cozy.

Sleepy, spicy, book

1. Jerked out of sleep, Tim answers the phone then hands it to me. "Someone called Aaron?" He says with a shrug. It is my brother, Darren. Still half-asleep, Tim didn't recognise the voice.

2. Last night's new recipe was a bit bland, but today's lunch of sumac chicken wings was full of flavour and makes up for it.

3. Lazy Sunday means I get to finish my book.

The end, playground, hungry.

1. On Thursday I wrote "The End" on the finished first draft of my novel! I have actually completed a novel!! Yes it needs lots of work and editing, but the first draft, all 87000 words of it, is done.

2. Taking the kids to the Pod Playground up on the mountain. Warm sunny day with a breeze, surrounded by sky and grassy slopes and young arboretum trees.

3. Being very very hungry at lunchtime. Food tastes so good when you are starving.
