What a great weekend! me and the boy spent a few days camping round marlbrough...stayed the first night in pelourus (so beautiful, but so many mossies!). The airbed sprung a leak and made for a very uncomfortable night...invested in a foam mattress for the next night. Thanks to the uncomfortable sleep i was up really early and took all these misty pictures of the river, the boy kept on sleeping though, men can sleep through anything!

Our next stop was Blenheim for the car boot market, it was scorcing hot, but nothing was going to stop me from finding some bargins! not much there in the way of clothes, but i did find a weird little book about being a nurse in the 50's, i found it fascinating as i too am a nurse, it lists, among other things....how to wash a patient, make a bed (with diagrams!) and keeps refering to the doctor as a male....

I also scored the cutest little photo album, in almost perfect condition :->

And a great pair of togs, probably from the 80's, but they have the little skirt this and they look great on (well i think so anyway!), plus i love how bright they are....

It was so hot for the time we were there i lived in my maxi dresses, both from Jay jay's, not a place i usually shop because the fabric tends to be a bit..well...crap, and the dresses are way too short for the likes of me!but i love these two dresses, they are so comfy on hot days!the jewlery is all from opshops, except my moonstone and silver pendant from Melbourne(which you can't see!) . The boy and i are moving there later in the year and i can't wait!

This week i have set myself the challange of NO ice cream or chocolate, i am addictted to both and it has been bothering me for a while, it will be hard, i hope i can do it!

wish me luck...

p.s i forgot, i also found the most dinky little deckchair with rockers instead of legs..for only $2.
