Beautiful Australian emerald dragonfly kindly hovering over the water so I could take a photo.

I saw this blue banded bee (Amegilla Cingulata) 2 days in a row 🥰 And today she was circling around me while I was pruning the French lavender.

I got soaked taking this photo but it was worth it 🌺🥰🐞. A beautiful ladybug in my stunning peach Melba hibiscus 🌺

Yesterday, 1st January, I allowed myself to do nothing 😊 Today, I progressed on my watercolour, adding highlights and shadows, and had a swim. Now, I will read a few more chapters of The House in the Cerulean Sea.

As I will be turning 50 in 2023, and since I’ve been post-menopausal for a few years now, my goal for 2023 is to unleash my inner (unapologetic) Jennifer Coolidge 😅… starting with kaftans and leopard prints 🐆

No gardening as planned tomorrow for me…instead I will be waiting for this wasp nest to be removed 😬

UV index 14 today 🥵 I might not go for a swim after all, even with my SPF50+ I’d burn within minutes.

When I think the maximum IV index on the scale in France is 8 or 9, it gives an idea how extreme and dangerous the sun is today.

My hibiscus plants are loving this warm weather. Look at my Island Princess triple flower 🌺

Me thinking I’m relaxed but my body and my mind telling me otherwise: gastric reflux flare up + dreaming that I failed my last assignment because I thought the quiz lasted 4 hours instead of 90 minutes.
Reality: my 2 ultimate assignments are essays… and I had 100% for my quiz.
Why am I still stressing out like that during the 1st uni break in 4 years when I don’t have to study?
