My weekends tend to be busy well as the weekdays.

Saturday

The 4th Saturday of the month is when I meet with another ASG group at Rhodes.

Maria and I both attend this group as well as a few other bloggers that Maria has highlighted in her post. It is a great day catching up with friends and getting some quality sewing time as well.

Thank you for the photo Maria!

Sunday

This next picture is of a tracksuit most people only get to see at 6am in the morning when we walk Roscoe because as soon as I get home it is time go get ready for work.

On Sunday’s the alarm clock is switched off and we have a bit of a sleep in and slower morning routine and one of the chore is to hang out the washing:

Once the washing was hung out and breakfast had, I changed into,

to go out to pick up some bit and pieces and then I had all intentions when I came home to get back into the sewing room to work on the pants.

However after lunch I sat down and started to do some beading, it was 4pm before I knew it, time to put the casserole in the oven for dinner!

Today’s photo challenge was “Your Home Town” and after seeing all of Gabrielle’s wonderful photos of the streets of Sydney, I thought it would be fun to catch up with her today at Circular Quay to show Our Home Town together.

It was a bit windy!
