Tonight was opening night of the @bneintlfilmfest with the movie The Drovers Wife. Wow, what a movie. @leahpurcell you should be so proud. ? I recommend you all see this movie, but take a box of tissues. ? #thedroverswife #bookstomovies #atqpac #australianstories #australianwriters

The weather has warmed up enough to have me wearing dresses to work again. However I've not warmed up to wearing high heels. Sneakers and flats all the way for me now, I think. What about you? Have you given up the killer heels for good? #thewomeninblack #lunecroissant #lunecruffin #booksandtea #bookcover #madeleinestjohn

How do you keep the romance alive? For me, it's not in grand gestures, it's in the little things. One of my favourite little things, the texts hubby sends me every day with love heart eyes emojis, cute animal gifs or just the words 'I love you'. Doesn't cost a thing but means the world to me. #wrongtextrightlove #claudiaburgoa #claudiaburgoabooks #romancenovels #romcom #imarriedmybestfriend

The hubby went for a casual 28k run this morning. For fun. It's not my idea of fun, but I was almost inspired to join him on some of his shorter runs after reading this book. Almost. On a side note, This book was an absolute delight. Five stars from me. #thebrightsiderunningclub #josielloyd #fivestarread @josielloydwriter #runninggroup

Spent several hours sitting in a chair not writing... Instead I was getting my hair done and it feels so good to be bright again. All that time sitting was worth it just for the head massage. #illgetbacktowritingtomorrow #thesecretlivesofsisters #lindakelsey #pinkhairdontcare #colourrefresh

For our wedding anniversary I booked in to the restaurant where my hubby proposed - @the_spirithouse Unfortunately the booking was cancelled due to the place being vandalised. ? As a surprise, he got me the next best thing- their recipe book. Together we've cooked up some delicious meals. ?? #recipebook #thespirithouse #thaicuisine #anniversarygift #couplegoals

I've ignored my succulent garden a fair bit lately, given I've spent most of my spare time at home working on my novel ... But now the weather has warmed up nicely, and there's lots of color and new growth, im enjoying spending a bit of time on it again. What do you have growing in your garden? #trickofthelight #fionamccallum #australianauthors #findinghope #inmygarden
