Unexpectedly, the highlight of my week was a game of Bocce.

On Sunday we drove to Walker Flat to meet Mum and Dad for a Mother’s Day picnic. It was one of those days that felt…kind of perfect.

We each brought something to share: Joey cooked the most delicious Chicken Leek and Parsley Pies, Dad whipped out some quality bottles of sparkling, and I made Berry and Ricotta slice for dessert.

We were surrounded by cliffs that looked like they were painted on, the mighty Murray was flowing, and giant gum trees shaded us from the most beautiful Autumn sun. We had no where to be except exactly where we were. Everything just felt gooood.

And then Cath and Dave whipped out the Bocce balls.

It was The Boys (Dad and Josh) VS The Girls (Mum, Joey and I). Something you need to know about Dad and I is that we are ridiculously competitive, especially with each other. I’d be happy coming second to last in any game…as long as Dad was dead last.

A twig was our Bocce marker and Dad managed to step past it every time. We tried to get his throws disqualified. Every bad shot I had, he celebrated. Every stinker he had, I cheered like I’d won the Powerball (I tried to win the 100mill last night. Didn’t.)

The Girls lost - Mum reckons it was rigged (same Cath, same) It hurt to see Dad and Josh so smug. I’m still trying to get over it.

It was one of those days where doing simple things with people you love felt priceless. Even if we did lose Bocce.

Let’s get into issue #72! Today I'm sharing:

  • A print about the importance of your thoughts and mindset.

  • My favourite TV Show is back for another season!

  • The $39 Puffer Jacket I’ve worn every day for two weeks

  • And another cosy Autumn recipe: Raspberry Yoghurt Scrolls

And don’t forget! On Monday I’m starting my manifesting challenge - my first Diary entry lands in your inbox Tuesday.

I hope you enjoy the issue! Have the best Friday!
