Soup glorious soup.

Bee coz I...have a vegetarian in the house one of the easiest things I can cook that does for a few days is veggie soup!

I just make a simple stock and bung in broccoli, carrot, mushroom, potato, spring onion and at the last minute I bung in some vermicelli noodles to bulk it out!

I also marinaded some chicken pieces and cooked them up for my serve of the soup - delish!

Well the car still stinks of soup so I'm still shampooing and vacuuming every second day to try and get rid of the smell!

Tonight I will make leek and potato soup - just because I forgot to put it in my veggie soup :)

Atmosphere

Bee coz I...like to take pictures of just about anything and everything, my iPhone is full of happy snaps. I like to try and capture the atmosphere of the occasion, which isn't always easy.

I don't worry to much about good composition when I'm happy snapping more I go for the take lots one will work out theory.

This compilation of pics sums up a night of awesomeness I had at the recent Liverpool FC V's Melbourne Victory match during the week. I was out well past my bedtime and felt tired for the rest of the week but it was 1000% worth it.

My family have been over from Tassie so on reflection I have eaten a ton of crap and missed the odd walk.

Zumba was awesome this week, Saturday morning classes are the highlight of my week, even though I go out late on a Friday, I don't mind getting up early for one of Claire's classes.

Well I best go and get dressed as the kiddo's will be landing soon for a few hours of fun and madness.

One of those days!

Bee coz I...had to slam my breaks on to avoid killing some kid, I was the proud owner of an in car soup pool all before 8.15am.

The luck didn't stop there, between meeting I tried to vacuum it out at the wet/dry vacuums you find at the car wash places, no luck at morning break, my money was not good enough for the machine. At lunch I went to another one and its been shut down! Finally I left work early and found a place close to home that did the job! Then my car wouldn't start!

I got it going then drove to Rods who tightened my bits (the things around the battery) and all seems to be good, then I went home and pumped up the flatty on the other car, I think they are all sorted now!

I was glad to jump in bed at the end of the day!

Auroralicious!

Bee coz I...have sent off for my new passport, have been medication free for 2 weeks, it's time to get back on track!

I'm to scared to step on the scales, I'm guessing by my pants (the ones that have no give in them) that I am still around the 32-33kg loss range, the pants that I wore when I had lost 30kg are still loose around the waist! So unless its all gone on my feet, or head the damage bill may not be to bad! I want to get at least to the 37.5kg loss that I was up to by the time I go on my trip in October.

I had an awesome time in Tassie, lots of time with the family and Mother Nature put on a fabulous Aurora display for us to go capture.

My brother loaned me his camera and gave me instructions over the phone on how to use it in the pitch black! My dad helped on site and mum was the lighting director (with her book light)

The first night was fun, I got my first ever aurora photo. The second night (I had learned how to use the camera better) Mother Nature ramped it up to a whole new level and put on a fine display!

This is my best pic! It looks very different in real life, in some ways more spectacular than this as although the colours are more pastel/opaque to the naked eye the movement/dancing across the sky is breath taking!

The camera shutter is open for longer so it picks up more light/colour. It is so exciting taking the pic then waiting 30 seconds to see it in the back if the camera!

I will never forget that second night!

My brother has given me an old camera body and I have a new lens to see if I can start taking some better pic than I do with my trusty iPhone!

Well I had best be off as I need to find my runners if I'm going to shift these kilos! I will give myself a week before I venture on to the scales lol
