The kids are still at my parents having an absolute ball; playing with their friends, swimming, dancing in the rain and naturally being spoilt rotten. With them away, I have continued to work crazy hours all week long and then enjoy the weekend. After yesterdays day of sloth I had to get out of the house. In fact that I ‘rested’ so much yesterday that I was wide awake at 5am and unable to get any more rest. Eventually I gave up on trying to sleep and went for a run.
When the rest of the house woke we all went hiking at Werribee Gorge. We had a fantastic day, hiking 10 or so km through the gorge.

The perfect place to rest
A flower, for me?
I am looking forward to more hikes in the bush, with friends and with the kids (although we wouldn’t hike 10km with the kids just yet!) and especially with my crazy hubby.
For more Sundays in my City fun, head over to Unknown Mami’s place.
I am finally up to date with my Sundays in my City entries and if you want to see where I have been here, check them out; Searching for Clues and Christmas.

The gorge looks like a wonderful place to just roam around.
