Speaking of chocolate, there was a little chocolate brown new arrival that came with a waggly tail!
My dismal attempt at making a rainbow cake. A labour of love which somehow ended up looking a lot like my kitchen sponge. Now let's laugh and never speak of this again.
The sky stayed a brilliant dazzling blue most of the weekend
Perfect for a BBQ with friends. Not wanting to settle for the typical Aussie sausage sizzle, I prepared skewers of chilli and lime rump steak, prawns (not pictured), and chicken, oregano and haloumi, as well as a healthy green salad.
I don't know if it's ever alright to say this (lest I jinx myself) but I'm going to say it anyway.
Sometime during the BBQ, while I was sitting in my sunny backyard, laughing with my favourite friends, puppy in lap, tummy full, chocolate on my lips and a drink in my hand, I realised in that one moment that I am well and truly blessed; I am so happy and contented with my life right now. And knowing that feels pretty darn nice.

I'd love that dark chocolate tart treat.
I'm sorry about your rainbow cake but I think it's ok to laugh at certain small failures. It's alright to have some funny memories :))) Next time you'll get it perfectly right for sure :)
Looks like a delicious holiday! Wish I could sink my teeth into one of those kabobs right now! xo style, she wrote
I assume there is nothing wrong with eating a kitchen sponge as long as it tastes delicious!

Well from what I can see it looks as though you have got yourself a cute puppy. *hahaha*

I think your cake looks lovely :) And who could resist that waggly little tail? :)

I think we should announce more often when we're feeling blessed and content with life. I feel the same! xx
I didn't think of kitchen sponge until you mentioned it! :)
Anyway, I always thought you felt blessed all the time :D
Hi Trishie, you have a great blog. I am following!
Your weekend looked wonderful!. So glad you have that feeling of blissful contentment. So often we don't have much to complain about but don't appreciate it.
Your rainbow cake looks great but I had to laugh because I tried to make a coloured layer cake and it was a disaster!
I'd love to see the rest of your waggly tailed friend! I love dogs. x
