#coffeemoment and frangipani update.
These little fuckers are still here. Fewer of them and many are brown. I hope this means they are near the end of their life cycle for this year.
My patience and tolerance are wearing thin as is the frangipani foliage.

Delilah thinks we should have our #coffeemoment in the forest but the monkeys are whooping and barking and playing like toddlers over there. So the gate is staying closed and we're staying here.
No interspecies arguments necessary on such a beautiful morning

Our pool has a leak. A very middle classed first world issue to consider in today's #coffeemoment.
I'm all for making a sunken garden out of it but I suspect we'll be repairing it and then filling it with rain water.
Seems a ridiculous use of water until it's 35Β°C.

The last Monday of the month; the start of the last not-crazy week at my desk. I'm going to consciously enjoy this week because the crazy times are coming.
So Buddha and I will enjoy this #coffeemoment in the cool morning and when frantic arrives I'll remember this and be okay with that

Coffee on the go as we head out to the Animal AntiCruelty League to walk unhomed dogs.

It is a perfect, beautiful morning. After days of rain, mist and hot mugginess the clear sky and slightly cool breeze are bliss. So I'm just sitting outside enjoying it with the dogs. I'm not even reading - just being.

The critters have largely left - finally. And the trees don't look much worse for the wear. They seemed to replace their leaves pretty much immediately. Amazing really. #NatureIsLit

No screens in bed is an amazingly simple yet effective thing to do. I'm sleeping better, reading more, and just feel better all round.
New book to start on this rainy cool wednesday #coffeemoment

A lie in til 9:30 followed by iced coffee, the last few pages of a book I've thoroughly enjoyed, and Sox for company. Perfect #Saturday #coffeemoment

Wholewheat cous cous cooked in roasted tomatoes and coconut milk, stirred through with baby spinach and then topped with an assortment of carrots I pulled out of the ground this morning and red onion, and drizzled with a tahini lemon dressing and sesame seeds. Very yellow. Very tasty.

A glass coffee mug with the words Happiness in a Mug on it, the book Love, etc by Julian Barned, two daxies one looking at the camera, and a green garden background

It's cooler today and my cough has somewhat abated, so I'm back outside with my daxie security team for today's #coffeemoment
I've coughed so much I may have abs.

It's a piece of our property so I'm very lucky. Walk there daily.

A wet wooden bridge leading to a wooded area. On the bridge are two daschunds, one close by and one in the middle distance. A large black dog is in the far distance, out of focus.

Spent the night coughing and now sound like a diesel engine on a cold morning. So my ##coffeemoment is ginger, turmeric and honey tea in bed with the daxies.

Luckily you realized soonish. Not too much to frog. But how frustrating. Lovely wool.

A bad night of ridiculous thought gnawing at my brain somewhat packed away by a #coffeemoment in a rude mug with a big black dog #Zoe
