2nd

Pattern. 
I paid attention today and the train station (and the train) gave me pattern galore. 
But we managed so much more
Lawn mower taken for repair
Coffee and early lunch in a new place 
Dropping the car and taking the train 
Strolling and shopping here
An afternoon movie watched here before the train home

1st

Not from today, but as the power goes in my phone, and I realise that after an amazingly pumping week at work it is the 1st of August. So searching my photos and thanking the universe for the prompt. Lunch. This was earlier this year. One of those happy places we return to time after time but this photo was extra special. My mum was there, sharing lunch with me. A happy happy time. Her friend and my close family down under is there is the background. Thank you for the happy lunch memories.

That's it

Mixing it up

Slacker that I am, lounging around with a bad back, if I think about it, it started to go awry a few weeks ago. Surprise Saturday moved to the Sunday, then Friday night movie night moved to Sunday morning.
Surprise time then and it was my turn and I choose another museum, this time to see the National Geographic Exhibition at the Auckland Museum. I loved reading the specs on the photos, I loved the stories and while the overall winner wasn't my favourite it was very poignant. The journalism story board of the ivory trade made me sick to the stomach and I wonder what we are up to as a human race.

Movie morning then brought back all sorts of childhood memories of morning cinema trips with my brother. It was coffee, not wine as we got the tickets at The Capitol and settled in to watch this movie. Not without making an entrance though, Adam dived up the stairs, laying flat down and not spilling a drop of coffee. Class.
