Cool Change

July 21st, 2008 · 3 Comments

Harsh, cold and grey weather does nothing for my ability to get things done. Although I had much less to get through today, I only got half of it done! In Chinese astrology I am a Snake. I can’t move unless I am warm. I was not warm.
I didn’t complete my tax return. This is […]

Productivity At Last!

July 20th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I didn’t get out of bed until late, yet have managed to totally clean my home today. I lay in bed this morning trying to find excuses why I didn’t have to do housework. I have been quite lazy about it lately. I didn’t give my home a thorough clean during the holidays and I […]

Almost Missed Massage

July 18th, 2008 · 3 Comments

On Tuesday I had my regular massage booked. My son also had a chiropractor appointment and as he’s missed the last 100 appointments (could be slight hyperbole), my entire appointment memory function was focussed on that appointment and half an hour after that mission was accomplished, my lovely masseur phoned, to see if I was ok. […]

Domestic Bliss?

July 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I totally enjoyed my final outing for these winter holidays last night and returned home this afternoon ready to embark on the big home clean up. Instead I baked! Go figure. I don’t really do a lot of that generally. I made lemon and poppyseed shortbread. It is delicious. I went shopping and got some food […]

Lots of wonderful commenting whilst I’ve been in and out these holidays. I appreciate them all and I usually like to comment back, but I haven’t. My apologies… I feel too far behind now. So I’m calling on your generosity to forgive this oversight and let you know I love getting all of your comments, […]

Home

July 8th, 2008 · No Comments

I got home in the wee hours this morning. It was a good drive although I was distracted and went in the wrong direction and found myself on the damn West Gate Bridge somehow as I went through Melbourne. The last time I did that I was returning from Queensland in the early hours of the […]

Midwinter’s Eve

June 21st, 2008 · 3 Comments

Its the longest night here in Australia tonight, winter solstice.  The great thing is that the days will be getting longer from this point on. It’s a turning point. This occasion is not marked in a big way here in the southern hemisphere, but the link to the wikipedia article lists the many types of […]

Can’t Believe My Luck

June 13th, 2008 · 7 Comments

My son has inherited one of my behaviours and it’s worked out quite good. Last night we had a little spat. It was due to lack of communication as we have both been a little in and out lately and haven’t caught up with each other enough. He’s doing his mid-year VCE exams and I’m […]

Autumn Leaves

May 22nd, 2008 · 5 Comments

My next door neighbour hates the beautiful tree in front of my house because of the leaf litter he seems to feel tormented by.  Some mornings I will leave for work with my front garden covered in leaves and then come home to them piled in my driveway and this neat patch of dirt instead. […]

Hump Day Already!

May 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday. This week has flown! So much happening lately. Today was one of those sunny autumn ones. It’s the most comfortable and magic I reckon in late autumn on a sunny day. I ate lunch outside and lapped up the warmth.
My little Astra is great. I love it. I haven’t driven […]
