“The cure for anything: Salt water, Tears or Sweat”

…is what the famous saying says.

After my huge disappointment, my family and i packed up for the long weekend and headed for the beach.

3 days of sunshine, the beach, music, a local carnival, close friends, my second family, my best friends, dresses and shorts and relaxation looks like this:

Insert huge sigh here. Australian Summer is on it’s way.

No Alex didn’t get the chickenpox while we were away, but yes, the mosquitoes ate him alive. Explains his grumpy expression. That, paired with the fact it was around 8am.

As usual, which is your favourite?

What else do i have to say?

The universe works in a strange way. After huge disappointment and a ‘blah’ week, this was just what i needed.So I’m ready again, I’m myself again..for now :)
