I am grateful for my best kind of day. A day spent pitter pottering around the house catching up with ourselves. A day spent in my pj’s until 11am. (I only got dressed cos Kate’s Sam was popping around and Kate would have been mortified. Actually I would have been too.) A day that started with an hour to spare because we forgot about daylight saving and our phones aka our clocks are set to Sydney time. A day with my best kind of lunch, turkish with bits and pieces, which Jem always manages to turn into her signature cupcake extravaganzas. A day of too many coffees, homemade pancakes and giggles from the pool. I am grateful for the perfect simplicity of today.

I am grateful for the hot sun, the cool sea, for sleepovers and empty apartments.  And the knowledge that I know exactly where my kids are. A small yet huge blessing.

3 October. I am grateful for mad mad moments. Moments that make you feel so unbelievably alive. And as mad as mom daughters. I even think I could have convinced Jem to bungy with me. Next time Jem. Next time.

2 October. I am grateful for once in a lifetime adventures. As if it wasn’t adventurous enough to do a helicopter landing high in the mountains on the very top of a glacier thick with fresh fresh snow, the wind then picked up and we had to get back to our helicopter to beat a hasty retreat off the glacier. It is hard to be hasty when you’re thigh deep in snow. Much laughter and a little panic from mom. Just a little. Jeepers.

1 October. I am grateful I haven’t forgotten how to be ten. I love love love snow tubing. And I love the fact that they all knew to leave the fast lane for me. Not even B’s comments about Cleese clambering in the snow with my tube could stop me. I was a demon.

30 September. I am grateful we hung in for the most amazing burger in the entire world. And I do love a burger. I do. Even though I hate queuing for food, I’d queue for one of these any day.
