Thank goodness its Friday

It seems like this Friday has taken forever to arrive, it has been a pretty busy week here at The Hunt Life and I am pretty happy to see the weekend finally arrive.

1// The Bachelor //
So the Bachelor is back on TV, thank you television gods!!!! I love good old trashy TV and I think this years batch of girls might be the trashiest yet. One of my best childhood friends was back in Adelaide on Wednesday so I drove up to the city to watch it at her house with our other friends, that is a pretty big deal considering I never really leave the house for anything other than work. #hermitlifeforever! I'm not sold on this years bachelor yet, he has been given the offical title of #bachiewood ;) but at this point in time its only a reference to his last name not anything else unfortunatly. Looking forward to Wednesday and Thursday nights with a new enthusiasm.



2 // Migraines //
Can I just take a second to unload on migraines please, I hate them! I know strong word but honestly is there anything worse I think not. I was so proud of myself I had made it to 11 weeks with no sick days!! that is a big thing for me considering how debilitating my migraines can be. I had been looking after myself so well in hopes of getting to 12 weeks no sick days and then of course a horrific migraine has to pop out of nowhere and ruin that for me!! Oh well back to week one for me next week.

3 // End of the month //
Is there anything better than the end of the month? I feel that everything is refreshed and renewed, I have a whole month to do everything I want and there is so much at my feet. The end of the month just makes me excited for what is to come, I am really looking forward to August.

4 // August Step to the Beat Challenge //
Another reminder that my August challenge officially starts on Monday next week, make sure you join up.

August Step to The Beat 200 K Challenge

I spoke briefly about my August step challenge on Friday, I have decided to create a monthly challenge.

With August just around the corner I thought it would be fun to create a step challenge for the month of August, I have found them floating all over the blogosphere (I would have joined A Farmers Wife's most recent challenge but I saw to too late), the principles are pretty simple.....

Thank Goodness It's Friday

Is the anything more beautiful then a Friday afternoon are a long and stressful week at work?...........No! well maybe there might be but hey I will settle for a Friday afternoon any day of the week!!!

I think my favourite thing about Fridays is the Oh hey it's Friday link up because not only is it my favourite day of the week but I also get to recap my favourite things from this week woooooo!!

1// Winter//
So it seems that winter has well and truly arrived in Adelaide, it has been hitting and average of 5 degrees celciuis each night this week. I love it but it seems like the whole of Australia is having issues with the cold, it was just the other day that Australian's where making fun of the British for whinging about a high 20 degree heat wave (a heat wave in Adelaide is 40 degrees plus) and then the cold hits and we can't stop whinging about a cold snap they think is nothing, ohhhh the irony!!


2// Christmas in July//
It is crazy to think but I am already planning what I have to organise for Christmas at work this year. It is incredible how fast this year has flown past and worrying how I actually have to start planning and budgeting for Christmas decorations and it hasn't even reached August yet.

3// Garden Veggie Dreams //
I have dreams of this amazing Vegetable garden and am hoping that I get time in the coming weekends to get stuck into making one, I need to stop browsing all the beautiful garden's on pinterest because I know that we cannot afford anything too lavish but a girl can dream can't she. As I am eat vegan mostly plant based foods I am hoping that his will keep the shopping costs down too.
// One // Two // Three // Four // Five //

4 // Vegan fact of the week //
Of course I am going to end this Friday as I always do with a Vegan fact, this week I learnt that McDonald's fries aren't vegan or even vegetarian, they contain beef flavoring and also milk solids. Not that I like to eat McDonald's anyone but I guess I will be skipping their fries next road trip!

How was this week for you?
