Sounds weird, but there's so much optimism in the week ahead. I charge through morning duties (dropping little ones where they need to be after random breakfasts and time on the back verandah, complete the weekly produce shop) and then home to do my stuff.
Checking online resources, cooking, daydreaming and a spot of self directed learning.

Here's my attempt at a potted vegetable patch, speaking of self directed learning. North east facing, some cutting were gifts, some transplants and another gift of new seedlings - yay! Just have to keep the water up to them and add more!
A lap around the garden is also very worthwhile, seeing how our little ones are taking off. Yesterday saw us harvest a couple of potatoes (first time ever!) and met with squeals of delight from my daughter - just like I'd discovered a pot of gold, only better as we could eat them for dinner.
The weekend saw us up in Sydney, R&R with family and a little local wanderings. Glebe has some treats - one being a quite little bookstore Florilegium, dedicated totally to all things botanical. Filled a couple of gaps on our bookshelf with awesome reference material.
