12 on the 12th May

My favourite blog initiative ever. On the 12th of each month, bloggers around the globe take 12 photos of their daily life and post them. Not only great for getting to know other bloggers but also as a personal visual diary.
So please join the fun with Caro here

After a bowl of boring porridge early this morning, now there is time for a second brekkie for the preggie:
a wonderful crispy blueberry muffin and a grapefruit juice.

Maternity leave bliss – reading a magazine while sitting outside in the sun midmorning

What a fairy tale Wednesday: blue sky, the antique rollercoaster and castle at luna park...

... and palm trees full of parrots.

Quick stop at the post office on my way...

... then down Acland Street, so glad I was at the other side of the street – otherwise I surely wouldn’t have resisted all those sweet temptations.

The first pieces of clothing that my little one will wear in her life. Oh those hormones – make me all teary at the sight of this symphony in white and pink.

New slippers, my toilet bag, the inevitable nursing and maternity pads, money for the vending machines and a bit of Audrey for the delivery suite.

Lots of things crossed off the packing list for my hospital list...

... et voila. My hospital bag – fully packed and ready to grab if dottie decides that her time is now. The pink tag is a Japanese prayer sachet that my mum brought me from Japan: for a safe delivery of a healthy baby!

Preparation for dinner

A big bowl of hot potato soup with onion and bacon for dinner. There is nothing better on a cold autumn/ winter night !!!
