Another month gone…and hopefully, so has the colds, coughs and flu!

And the end of August gave us signs that Spring was on it’s way….and not a moment too soon!

All I want to do is throw open all the doors and windows and let the fresh air in!

The downside is that I have got bad hayfever….I have never had it this early before…not the best sign for the months ahead so I have stocked up on antihistamines…

Anyway, it is time yet again for a monthly rewind…what did the month of August include for Zinc Moon?

Monthly Rewind Aug

It started with some freezing weather….hail and frost..

I reviewed two magazines….Womankind and Flow Magazine

Womankind

And reviewed two books….a fascinating book about ideas that changed the web, and a book all about the weather events in Geelong..

I joined a library…mainly to borrow the Miss Fisher’s Murders series

I discovered Benefit They’re Real mascara and eye liner…still loving using them!

And took Mackie to his first game at the MCG….sadly our Cats lost…

The month finished with the most amazing concert….Queen and Adam Lambert….wow…just wow!

And my review of the concert has brought the most number of visitors and views to Zinc Moon…ever!

Maybe I should change careers, and become a concert reviewer!

And that is August over….bring on September and the sunshine!
