A New Car, the Cold & some Congee

The Australian Winter's not yet over and I've got the cold (yet again!) for the second time this season. What a pain... the good news is, it's moving through very quickly and hey, I get to burn some bad karma in the process. I really shouldn't complain about the common cold but sore throats are never fun. Usually, a good ole cuppa of lemon-honey tea works a real treat, but this time, I needed some drugs to help things along. At least the mandarins are delicious at the moment. Makes it very easy to keep up my vitamin C! Luckily, I brewed a whole heap of chicken Congee or Jook (a kind of Chinese risotto commonly given to old folks and little kids) which was my equivalent to chicken soup. It's been marvellous.

Did you know Craig and I purchased a new car? We now have a silver Mazda 3, after I said goodbye to my Hyundai Excel of 5 years. Don't get me wrong, it was a great cheap car. But like all cheap cars, they get to a point when they cost more to keep going then they're actually worth. So we figured it was time to move on. I no longer feel like we're playing at grown ups because we've got our very own mortgage, car loan & a wedding behind us!

What about the rest of you? Where are you right now and what are you up to? Share a post with us and brighten up our day :D
