All day yesterday and half of today's (still #cooking in the #crockpot ) #spaghettibolognese #sauce with #rice #saladbowl & #avocado for #lunchtoday #italian #spagbol #yummy

Justa maekin zee #lasagne 😍😁

My 7ltr #crockpot #slowcooker #flavourmaker had the #spaghettibolognese #sauce simmering for a day and a half (see older Post), which has now been turned into 2 + 1 small #gf #lasagne for myself (store bought packet sheets though) and #fresh #homemade #pasta #dough for the two main ones, topped with #bechamel sauce

Inside the layers, #tastycheese #bocconcinicheese and #rocket

These are now going into the freezer for next week as I've got family visiting over Easter 😍

Trying to enjoy my spot near the #fireplace , but I've got someone #hogging the seat 🐱🐈

#spoiltmuch ?!?! Hubby lets them in 😁 #coldout #melbourneiscold

If you're wondering why I've been MIA , I sort of left the country and spent today #walkingaround #paris 🗼(we are staying in #verseilles for two days)!

Look; I was able to hire some machine gun carrying body guards 😳

For the last 3 weeks, I've been in #France with hubby and my youngest daughter. We went over firstly to visit my second daughter who has lived in France for almost 4 years and is now a #Nun 😍

We only got home last night (I'm holding off the sleep till this evening). The long distance travelling doesn't agree with me as I puke on arrival, get zero sleep on the plane and especially when it's 30hrs travel one way. 😳 We had 3 flights: 7+ hrs Melb to Singapore - 40mins transfer, 7+hrs Singapore to Dubai - 50mins transfer, then 7+hrs Dubai to #Paris !!!

Here are a few photos from our trip, enjoy!!!

#holiday

Was a hard choice (afterall in France #wine is served always with lunch 😉), plus there's only one glass amount left in the bottle......but I chose the #wakeup #juice #coffee 😁☕

This was a welcome relief this arvo ... So #cheers

What a day !

Yesterday I ordered new tyres for my car.. two back needed replacing within 3 months, front two within 6 months, so might as well get 4 right?

My day today...🙄😭

Did school run.

Had to go back to pickup a son from school 11.50am to get him to his Tafe course at 1230pm.

Left home ..got almost to school and realised it was only 10.50am (blonde moment). Drove home again...got almost home (1 minute away), hear noise from my car..pulled over ...blew a tyre.

Meanwhile .. one of my daughter's had to borrow her eldest sisters car (as hers is dead). My other daughter had to leave for work at 12.30pm.

My daughter with the borrowed car (and broken down car) and I also had appointment at Mitsubishi to look at used cars.

We waited for roadside assistance to arrive (1hr). Said daughter drove home from where she was to picked up the other daughter (who took my spot and waited for the road side assistance to arrive - it was also pouring rain). She then drove my car home and managed just to leave for work.

Meanwhile my daughter and I, went back to school, made it to Tafe and the appointments, but realised the loan car was to be left at school and we had no way to get home if I collected my other son.

But fortunately, my eldest daughters plans changed for tomorrow, so the loan car is available for another day...

Tomorrow however, I've got to be in two places at once...my car currently has a small space saver tyre (can only drive at 80kms per hour) and I've a feeling the other can't be repaired to swap it over.

So I might just finish off this glass and top it up again 😁😍🍷🥂

My daughter filmed me taking out yesterday's #frustration at @9roundpakenham this morning. Lots of RED bars (#heart rate in the 90s)!

As for today's events, I'm now sitting in a #cafe ☕while my car gets fitted with 4 new #tyres 😳 (thankfully hubby manged to repair the old one so I could drive this morning) 😍
