Mother Nature definately made sure that autumn was ending yesterday…it was freezing, and the first week of winter looks to be the same…with added hail for a bit of excitment!

But I digress…it is now time to do the monthly rewind for May – it was a busy month, and we certainly covered quite a few topics here on on Zinc Moon!

So grab a cuppa, and make yourself comfortable…here are some of the highlights of what happened in this little corner of the world in May.

Monthly Rewind - May 2015

After many requests, I finally revealed our Magic Mug Muffin recipe

I was excited that series 3 of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries has started, and went to the fabulous Costume Exhibition being held at Rippon Lea…if you love Phryne and the rest of the gang, you must go to this…

There was an important lesson learned in regards to the power of social media…this topic caused quite a bit of a stir in local media…

We went out to a couple of shows…the mind blowing Rotunda

There were more editions in the My Friday Five Series…simple things I love, beauty essentials, things to remember when I get older, and the wonder jelly, Vaseline!

I focused on organ donation during May, with the news that a new machine has been developed in Melbourne,  and I gave my take on the proposed independent review into the organ donation process.

I also wrote about why we feel it is important to share our transplant story

And we gave thanks at the DonateLife Remembrance Service
