Things to do when feeling sick

I have an infection and am on very strong antibiotics so am feeling quite tired.  Inner Health Plus is also making it's way down my throat, so that might cancel out the problems caused by antibiotics.
BUT I have been putting in some work around the house while I am staying home from work - too embarrassed to go in case I fall asleep on my desk.

The tagine came out of the cupboard in celebration of my recent trip to Morocco and chicken, spices, olives and lemon got cooked with cous cous (served in a saucepan).

I bought some new orange and pink suede shoes....

and then had to sit down and have a cup of mint tea to recover!!

In the afternoon, I went to my favourite spot to listen to some music, read a book and drink some tea
... picture me here!

 I love this tea set and the lovely red tray which became beautifully red when  I gave it a clean!!













I went to Toombul Shopping Town to buy some paint.  The reindeers have been let out for Christmas but were looking rather lonely...

Having bought purple paint - I still had the chart from when the walls were painted 11 years ago - I started improving the look of the swimming pool surrounds

The wall looks great and it has been embellished with a very rough Jordanian mosaic tree of life.  The Ikea stools that have been making do as side tables by the pool have been tossed out and there is a smart new table from Freedom that matches the flower pots.  The table was already scratched so they let me take it away for $29 - it it lasts a couple of summers I'll be happy.

I also decided to cover up the raw and mouldy wood with some purple.....  this is just the beginning.....
