07.01.2022 Good morning everyone. What a glorious day @olgc_deepdene

06.01.2022 As night covers our city, let us pray for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose Nativity we celebrate today, that we may be granted an increase in ...faith, peace and hope in our hearts and homes. Together lets pray the Salve Regina: Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy; Hail our life our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!' L: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us!

01.01.2022 We've just discovered this fantastic Instagram page with so many lunch box ideas. So inspired. Yum. Repost @schoollunchbox PIZZA SCROLLS I enjoy waking up early to bake, drink a coffee each for me, myself and I and get to started on my work. If I can get a head start on the day it makes me feel kind of satisfied. ... Todays bento is all about the pizza scrolls, they can be eaten hot or cold and also taste great zapped in the microwave. Ive added the usual fruit and veggies and some crackers too.
