Oops we did it again

We accidentally went and got takeaway burgers again today. It was just one of those days when I couldn’t think of a single thing to cook for dinner and we needed to go out and get a few things for the quail sanctuary anyway, so, well, why not...

We are enjoying even more freedom this weekend since more restrictions have been eased off. We are now allowed to have 5 people over to our house. (In fact, as I write this the neighbours up the back are having a very LOUD and ANNOYING party with really bad music, and the bass is so GD loud it is making the house vibrate. Oh and there’s some very bad singing to go with it. We don’t know much about these neighbours other than the fact they are a young couple who fight and swear a lot and yell at their enormous dog who is called Chopper. Yep.)

I feel a bit weird about restrictions lifting and things starting to go back to normal... it makes me feel a bit nervous. I’ve gotten used to living in our little bubble, gotten used to our daily routine... of course it’s been hard in many ways and really terrible for many people. But some things have been good for us during this time.. my gut has been really good (maybe not having any extra commitments?), I’m managing to keep up a daily yoga practice (mostly), our days are slower and there’s no rushing about to get people places on time and it’s been really nice having Scott around so much... but of course life will have to back to normal -ish at some point.

At the beginning of all this I set up my yoga area outside because all the other rooms were full of people. Despite all the gardening tools and mess around I love it. Charlie keeps sitting on my mat but I forgive him because he’s cute and fluffy.

This is my view when I lie down on the mat and look up. I never noticed this gum tree before. There are often rainbow lorikeets in it.

The kids have become a little obsessed with Roblox. I’m not sure how I feel about it... I usually hate computer/video games but this seems ok. Maybe. My instinct is to constantly try and get them off the devices but the girls have so much fun. They play with each other in the game and do things like adopt pets and look after them, run away from tsunamis and help each climb things and open doors (? I don’t know, something like that?). They get really excited when Daddy joins...

I did have a parenting win this week when I made this mini pie for Emma. She normally refuses to eat our normal sized egg and spinach pie, which is annoying. The rest of us love it. Anyway, this little pie won her over and she gobbled it up, exclaiming “look at my little pie!”

And, here’s another photo of the girls being sweet:
