Who’s the fool now..... 🤣🚙👮🏻‍♂️

I’m so glad that I finally got around to reading

I’m so glad that I finally got around to reading this book - it’s been on my #tbrpile for ever 📚📚📚⁣
⁣
This wonderful and heartwarming tale of unlikely friendships, kindness, love and loss will be one that I remember for years to come.⁣
⁣
I laughed. I cried. And I laughed some more.⁣
⁣
I loved how the story switched between past and present tense and I really wanted to leap into the pages and give Ove a big hug (not that he’d let me).⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣⁣⁣⭐️⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
“At first sight, Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever meet. He thinks himself surrounded by idiots - neighbours who can't reverse a trailer properly, joggers, shop assistants who talk in code, and the perpetrators of the vicious coup d'etat that ousted him as Chairman of the Residents' Association. He will persist in making his daily inspection rounds of the local streets.⁣
⁣
But isn't it rare, these days, to find such old-fashioned clarity of belief and deed? Such unswerving conviction about what the world should be, and a lifelong dedication to making it just so?⁣
⁣
In the end, you will see, there is something about Ove that is quite irresistible . . .”⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Here we go again..... 💉💉💉⁣
⁣
Back at my neurologist today, for another 40 Botox injections to treat my migraines 🤯⁣
⁣⁣
For the past nine years, I’ve been seeing him every 12 weeks, to get Botox injected in my head, neck and shoulder to try and keep my migraines under control.⁣⁣
⁣
I’ve had a shocking few weeks, so cannot wait for this to kick in and give me some relief. ⁣

I’m certainly no green thumb but my (not so) little “Zanzi” is absolutely flourishing 💚⁣
⁣
In fact, she’s so glossy and green, that when people come over they ask if she’s fake 🤣⁣
⁣
If you need a low maintenance plant that looks good, I highly recommend you get a Zanzibar Gem 🌿⁣

So many of you loved this Anzac Biscuit recipe whe

So many of you loved this Anzac Biscuit recipe when I shared it last year, so I'm posting it again to give you time to make sure you've got all the ingredients before tomorrow.⁣
⁣
I've tried a few different recipes over the years and this one is by far our favourite.⁣
⁣
It's a super easy recipe and my daughter makes them all the time 👧🏻⁣
⁣
Let me know what you think once you've made them.⁣
⁣
⁣
Anzac Biscuits⁣
⁣
1 C rolled oats⁣
1 C raw sugar⁣
¾ C dessicated coconut⁣
1 C plain flour, sifted⁣
125 g butter, melted⁣
2 tbs Golden Syrup⁣
½ tsp bicarb soda⁣
3 tbs boiling water⁣
⁣
Method⁣
⁣
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, no fan. (If your oven is fan forced, drop it down to 160 degrees)⁣
⁣
Line a baking tray with baking paper.⁣
⁣
Place the oats, coconut, flour and sugar in a bowl, stir with a wooden spoon to combine. ⁣
⁣
Melt the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat. ⁣
⁣
In a separate bowl, combine the bicarb and boiling water, then add this to the butter/syrup mixture. It should foam up and increase in size. ⁣
⁣
Pour this into your dry mix and stir.⁣
⁣
Once combined, roll into golfball sized balls and place onto baking tray(s), spacing them about 6 cm apart.⁣
⁣
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. For an even bake, you can rotate the tray by 180 degrees halfway through baking.⁣
⁣
Cool on tray or transfer to wire racks. ⁣

As we celebrate Earth Day it’s important to reme

As we celebrate Earth Day it’s important to remember that every step we make [no matter how small] to living a more sustainable and environmentally friendly life, the better this planet will be for future generations 🌏💚♻️⁣
⁣
I’ve just started using this ECO cling wrap and ECO zipper bags, both made from sugarcane [and kindly gifted to me from @urban.ethos], so I no longer need to feel guilty about keeping my leftovers 🥗 and the kids lunches and snacks, fresh and sealed. ⁣
⁣
“I’m shopping for my grandkids” is exactly what we should all be doing, and actively making environmentally friendly choices when shopping for products for home, the kitchen and our families. ⁣

I actually finished this book over a month ago and

I actually finished this book over a month ago and it still haunts me. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s definitely not a book for the faint hearted and I found I could only read about 100 pages at a time (it’s 700+ pages) before I’d need a break.⁣
⁣⁣
I wasn’t sure if I was even going to make it to the end but I quickly became invested in the characters and was glad that I did because even though this is an incredibly sad and heartbreaking story, it’s also a story of extraordinary friendships and love.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣⁣⁣.5⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“A Little Life is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life forever.”⁣⁣
