Today: is Halloween. I love Halloween - it's a shame it's not more widely-celebrated in Australia; it is originally a British festival, after all. I treated the kids to these little, ghostly goodie packs . . .
Today: I did one of my favourite things in the world - surprise my kids with little treats. We're in wind-down mode, so I didn't decorate the house like I normally do. Little surprise packs will have to suffice!
Today: I hauled out precious. Don't you just love these stunning little Halloween cards? I bought them in Japan five years ago and have been too precious to use them - until now. The kids loved them.
Today: my gorgeous friend Tina Snerling shared with me one of the characters from our upcoming kids' book - An Aussie Year. Introducing Ned! Tina is just so talented and I absolutely adore these beautiful kids she's creating for the book.
Today: I also picked up some roughs for the next Riley book - Riley and the Jumpy Kangaroo: A journey around Canberra. Kieron has outdone himself!
Today: I realised, a little late, that I had not sent this Halloween gift to my goddaughter in Bangkok. It's on its way today.
Today: peaches! Small and rock-hard and $1000 a kilo, but fragrant and still sooooo tempting. Ella will devour these.
Today: these honey jumbles had to come home with me. Riley was impressed. Then he asked for tick tock biscuits, too.
Today: a super-dooper find - yellow chevron mugs from Woollies! Just a few dollars each and I am totally in love. I only bought two - must go back.
Today: I used my new Kikki-K plastic shopping bag at Woollies.
Today: I finally espied that Turkish Delight. The one that only appears at Christmas. I stocked up.
Today: I purchased our annual festive favourite. Will serve with berries and custard and ice cream, and will use the leftovers for French toast. One of my fave things ever.
Today: fabulous new breads at our local Woollies. Am obsessed with this grainy sourdough.
Today: Ella's dog walking dog payment for November, in the letterbox.
Today: also in the letterbox - a postcard! Remember those??
Today: azaleas pilfered from the garden and plonked right next to me.
Hope you had a lovely day today.
