Hello sweetness, I wish England and Oz were closer, this distance is so very annoying. Thanks again, I added the photos of me for a bit of fun. I'm well, the sun is out, and the leaks are yet to be fixed. I had a wonderful but very long day in the studio yesterday doing product photography for a home goods company for their campaign and we laughed together the whole day. I got home exhausted and just went straight to bed. I love the mornings when everything is quiet, and the animals are asleep, best time of the day. Although, my boy cat wakes me up many times throughout the night and interrupts my sleep. Did you have a nice walk? What are you doing today? I'm going to take a long rest and just veg out today. Lots of hugs xx 😋🤩😘💋❤❤

Thank you so very much. :)

They are all superb, you are doing a great job ❤❤❤

@@user-qq1uc7re1z Thank you so much. :))

Hello sweetness. Oh, you noticed no gloves, it's actually really warm outdoors during the daytime but still so cold indoors. I guess you guys are in Autumn since we are in spring (third day today), all the trees are blossoming, and I love it. 🌻I just bought a new phone as my old one was on 3G and 4G, but not the right kind. Makes no sense but I am happy with the upgrade (for a not-so-techy-gal). 😜I'm in the middle of a huge spring clean of my home and I find it amazing when I discover things I've kept for sentimental reasons but never used them. Anyways, glad you had a nice outing, enjoy your pie, chips and salad. I made tuna pasta (with spaghetti, not in the oven) and it was delish, simple and very quick. I may make a video on it next week. Have a lovely week and we'll catch up on the next one. xx 🥰❤

Hi Steven, looks like I missed by you by 25 minutes. Ah yes, the dreaded man flu, sounds crazy to have it in summertime. Hope you get better, I guess your little getaway to Wells may do the trick. You must be so proud of your little broom broom to pass with flying colours, it must be a huge weight off your shoulders. Mine is coming up in a month but I know (cross fingers) it will pass as I have an amazing mechanic, and I also look after her very well. I'm still doing heaps of housework as the rain did a little damage in some spots and also working from home. Have a wonderful time, speak soon. xx 🤩❣

Oh, thank you. xx

Hello my lovely friend. Steven, it upsets me when you self-deprecate, firstly never talk about yourself like that. Secondly, I would never use your face for Halloween. Fun fact, we do not celebrate Halloween here in Oz, it's an American thing. Some people have started to do the whole trick or treat but it really isn't a thing here (thank goodness). We have enough celebrations of our own every month. Anyway, the sun is finally out and I am going to sit outside and read a book with some chai. Have a wonderful week my amazing friend. I am still waiting to see pics from Spain, I haven't forgotten. Take care. xx 😺💋😻

Thanx. xx

Hello my lovely friend, you sound like a bit of a workaholic, I hope you get some rest. I am always busy, I seem to get more as time goes by. It rained so much the last 24 hours I had to cancel an outdoor shoot. I am working on my home indoors this week as it need some minor repairs. I have managed to do a huge deep clean and it looks and feels so much better with all the clutter gone. My brain does not like seeing too much stuff. About our pets, I was shocked when you said the names of yours. And I don't know how YT introduced us, but I am glad. Where do your animals sleep at night? Take care. xx 😍❣❤‍🩹

Thank you. ❤

Outfits 1 and 3 for me.

Steven, hello again! I NEVER get bored of you, actually I am so happy to hear from you every time. And I must say you and I have too many things in common, the kitty you see is called Daisy and one of my other kitties is called Dolly. Sorry to hear about the eyesight of Holly, it seems to happen around that age. I had three other cats that were 14, 12 and 11 that just passed away the past few years. My oldest now alive, out of the four is 13, I call her grumpy coz everything annoys her. I remember seeing your garden, so lush and green, good to see us both have green thumbs (I have two). Have a wonderful 3-day weekend. Where will you adventure off to? I haven't made any plans yet, maybe some more gardening. Anyways, have a wonderful weekend and speak soon sweetness. xx 😍❣

Thanks heaps. Aren't they wonderful, and very difficult to kill off, it's one of the reasons why I have them all over my garden. I hope you keep enjoying them.

Hi Steven, I'm always so glad to read your comment. My most disliked one is crocks, and they've been around for decades, yuck!!! I am well, so busy as usual. Sorry to hear that you are working due to understaffing. You'd think people would jump at the chance to keep or get a job in your sector. What's the verdict about the new car? I was zipping around today at the shops (for food) and I was looking at other cars (for fun) since our chat. But I'm curious, what is the suit for? You getting married? 😛 How many pets do you have and what type are they (I was actually thinking of asking you last week and I forgot). Where do you leave them when you go away? Mine do not like anyone else so I rarely stay overnight somewhere else. I wore only three thin layers today, it got really warm in town. Have a lovely relaxing Sunday and we'll speak soon. Hugzies x 🤩x🙏x😼x🤠x

@@A_Zen_Life hi Elly, have to agree crocks art hideous, not flattering at all, some people have left so more runs for me unfortunately, I think your getting itchy as well for a new car 😂, hahaha I meant a 3 piece suite or sofa not a suit 🤣, I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, I know far to many, when I go away they go in kennels and catteries very expensive though, nice to hear it's warming up a bit, hopefully I will see you doing one of your fashion shows again I miss them 😭, anyway my beautiful Aussie have a lovely weekend and keep warm xx🥰🌹❤️

@@user-qq1uc7re1z Well that makes a lot more sense to buy a suite your animals jump on, rather than a suit (excuse my dyslexia). Wow, I had no idea you had that many pets, you never said anything about them before. I wish I could take mine with me on holidays. Sweet hugs.xx

Oh yeah, me too. I love Pinterest, it is so addictive. And thanks, great point. xx

Hi Steven, awww you're so sweet. Glad you had fun even if there were plenty of tourists around. I have a funny habit when it comes to things (possessions), I'm either really detached and part ways with them very easily, or I have them around forever. I chose my car wisely as I saw how others treated theirs. I had a look at the Nissan Juke as I'd never heard of it. I thought it was very sweet and it kinda reminds me of the new style VW buggy (but in a 4WD style). I approve. lol!!! Just a suggestion, if the body of your Ford needs a bit of work, it might be cheaper just to get it fixed and keep it if it still has a good motor. Unless circumstances change, I plan on keeping mine until I'm really old and cannot drive myself anywhere anymore. I have a very busy week (again) and the rain has been constant overnight. The temperature is slightly warmer, it went from 4 degrees to 14. What are your plans for this week and weekend? Sending you hugs via snail mail...xx 🤩🐱🌼🌻🌴

@@A_Zen_Life hi Elly my dear friend, glad you like the juke, it's on the cards but we will see, it all depends on what the MOT says if it is going to cost to much to keep it on the road, I'm amazed that you still have your first car 🚗, but if it works keep it, sounds like you love your old car, it's nice to hear your keeping busy and it's warming up a bit, it's starting to cool down here, bring on the autumn 😝, not sure what I'm doing this week apart from working, just chilling when I get home, you have a lovely day my lovely friend and I'll speak to you very soon 🌹❤️🥰xx

Hi Steven, there are some doozies in this video, I know. I can be a bit overly casual at times coz I prefer comfort over looks especially when it comes to winter. I love that you are going away again, that is fun. I'm still waiting to see some pics from Spain. Yes, today I am giving an art lesson to 15 people, a relatively small group. I'd love to do more of this, more often. I also won another photography award in a comp I entered recently. I also went to Sydney for one day. And a whole lot of other things went on. This week was hectic again. I hope you have a wonderful time at Minehead, enjoy a beer (or wine) on me. Squeezes to you. xx

@@A_Zen_Life hi Elly, wow you have been busy congratulations with the award you little superstar 👍😍, enjoy your class today, you will have to try and put some of your work on TH-cam, I'm still having no luck but will get there eventually, did you enjoy going home?, weather is not great today it's warming up again tomorrow, Minehead will be busy but nice, looking to change my car soon the one I have is getting rather old and will struggle through another MOT , what car do you have?, have a lovely day my beautiful bestie and I'll speak to you soon xx🌹

@@user-qq1uc7re1z Thank you lovely. The art class went well. How was Minehead? I have an old Mazda, it is 24 years old but runs perfectly (now), I've had her for 15 years and is the only car I have ever owned. What do you have? And what do you want to buy? Please don't tell me you want an electric car. Kisses. xx

Thank you. I think we all do at some point. Cheers. xx

Thanks for this video, so clever.

Hi my warm friend (I was going to say hot, but I thought it might sound cheesy) 😝I'm always well anytime I hear from you. Thanks again, I love trying out different ways to do the same thing (if that makes sense). Oh wow, your garden sounds amazing, a plant hospital. I hope they appreciate you reviving them. I guess they would, they give you oxygen back for living healthy, what a win, win. I had a huge day in the studio today, I'm tired but in a good way. It has rained 3 times recently and my tanks are yet to fill up, I'm patient and will wait for a few more rains for them to fill. At least they aren't empty. I hope you have a wonderful week, and we'll chat soon bestie (from the UK). Kisses from Oz (a kangaroo is hopping your way with them). xx 🥰

Hi Steven, how did you go with the upload? I know right, and this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are a whole lot of other mistakes I can point out on fashion faux pas. I must admit watching it back I do wear crop tops but usually under something else (if I leave the house). Anyway, soak up the sun coz as soon as your winter comes around you will be craving the summer again. This winter feels like it's been here forever, I'm ready for hot days and going out and about. Have a wonderful weekend, speak soon my dear friend. xx 😘

Great idea, I'd love to. Thanks. xx

My absolute pleasure. Have a wonderful weekend. xx

Hi lovely, so glad you liked it. No need to take a job for extra money if it means extra stress and anxiety. Life is not meant to be difficult (to that extent). I think paella is good for a large group of people in summer, I may do it when friends come over. The soup was so good I ate both portions... Did you swim in the beach? I love sand, more than the pebbles in Greece. We are in the dead center of winter, it is freezing and frosty, I now can't wait for spring. 🌻🌻🌻Have a nice day and I'll speak to you soon. xx

@@A_Zen_Life hi Elly, yes I did like it you are so talented, exactly, I don't need that right now just want to cruise towards retirement stress free, I did go in the sea a lot, went out on a boat and was jumping in around the coves, it was great, glad you enjoyed your soup, must have been good, don't worry winter will end and you will have the blazing sun and it will be me shivering under the duvet, anyway have a lovely day and I'll speak to you soon xx

Great choice, thanks. xx

Oh wow, Dorset is gorgeous!!! You are so lucky to have such beautiful places to go and see. Glad your week went well. You always pick the cutest outfits, I like both, maybe number 5 a bit more. I hope you find a way to upload photos. It has not stopped raining here, luckily as I need to fill my tanks. I don't want to pay for more, it was really expensive. I do like being orgainsed, if not it feels chaotic looking for things and not being able to. You do too, from your orderly home. Now that I'm going back to a minimal life it is so freeing to have less stuff, even tho I still have a lot. Do you have heaps of stuff? Anyway, have a wonderful time out and about, don't get too burnt in the sun, or did you already see too much sun in Spain? Kisses. xx 🥰

@@A_Zen_Life hi Elly, Dorset's coast is nice, with living in Somerset I am never far from some really nice places, yes my week went okay, had a chat with the manager about switching roles, it was all going ahead until I got home and reconsidered, it was more money but more demanding and I think slowing down now is my best option not stepping up, yes I still stand by no 15, you look fabulous in it, although you do in everything you wear, oh dear rain rain go away, at least your filling up your tanks, I'm sat in my garden in my undies to warm for anything else 😂,I don't have a lot of clutter but do like a car boot sale and end up buying loads of crap that I take to the tip the week after 😂, yes there's no more room for tanning I'm dark brown all over, I hope your ok and having a lovely weekend, stay warm and dry, I'll be in touch soon, sending love hugs and squeezes 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🦘❤️❤️❤️ x

@@user-qq1uc7re1z Oh wow, what role would you want to switch to? Btw: I love paella very much. I've never cooked one but have it on my list of things to try. I just made a leek and potato soup (first time ever), yum!

Hello my lovely friend, I dedicate outfit 3 to you not only coz it's your favourite, but it was the one you saved in my declutter video. As for the photos you have for the video, I have no clue how to do it on a phone. I usually put mine in a folder and then upload them in Premiere Pro and then sort them and add bits and bobs. How was your first week back at work? I had a hectic one, but I must admit I love organising things and events, it's my forte. Also, I have been replacing most of my tech this week as it is either too old and has outdated apps and won't work anymore or I need extra storage, so I have to transfer things to more powerful devices. It has taken up all of my time but once I get this done now, I will be able to run smoother later on in my workflow. Sorry for the delay in my responses. Speak soon, have a lovely day/night. xx

Hello sweetness, holy crap I didn't see your comments, I have been running around like a headless chook the last few days getting things sorted and organised for some events I have coming up soon. Thank you so much, I never know how others see what I do and make, and it is so reassuring to hear your lovely feedback. Hope you are well, speak soon. xx

Hello Steven, my friend. So glad you are back and that you had a wonderful time in Spain. Did you end up seeing the soccer game while over there? Maybe cutting the booze for a while is a great idea, you can't be on holiday mode all the time. I am well, nothing much has changed since our last chat, same ole. I'd love to hear more about your travels, what you saw, what you ate, where you went, who you saw, and if you did any adventure activities, etc. The cold is really bad here and I'm just trying to survive it so when spring/summer come I will be more active. Also, glad you like my creations. Have a lovely restful day today, and when you work out the pics, message me. xo 😇

Hi again, having problems getting my photos from gallery to TH-cam, any ideas??, I would love to share them with you, yes I did watch the football, fantastic atmosphere when we beat the Netherlands, but not so good in the final, never mind 😒, yes definitely kicked the booze out until the weekend 🤣, I actually don't drink that much, I like to take my time and enjoy it, I went to a place called pals which is an old medieval village, you would like it, I was a bit boring with the food, a lot of chicken, and paella,I went out on a boat which went to a cove were you could jump off into the sea, and it was so hot, oh no I'm so sorry it's still very cold, I would love to give you a cuddle to warm you up, almost bed time for me so you keep warm and I'll speak to you soon, take care my beautiful friend ❤❤🌹🌹🔥🥰💯😘🥘xx

Thank you!

😉

Thank you so much. That is a great idea, you need to keep warm here in the Oz winter.

Thank you so much for that. I try to keep it fresh :)

I love Sundays!!! 🤠

@@butter-fly-008 Me too ❤

Thank you. School activities were fun.
