This and That

Well being home has brought with it mixed emotions. On the one hand I'm glad to be back in my own domain with an indoor dunny that flushes, computer and net connection when I want it, my own CD collection and more than two channels on the TV. On the other hand I now have no river to jump in when it gets too hot, not nearly as many stars to look up at of a night, a shitload of domestic duties I can't bribe a younger sister to do and all the shopping that a new school year entails.

I left Dad's place with him happy in the knowledge that at least now ALL of his daughters can chop wood (no that's not how I broke my toe). Little Boy (who is growing tired, and out of, that title) has lost several of the fears he had on previous visits, but now I have the fear of the "postie bike" which will await his future visits. I'm more than a little grateful to have such a beautiful place to retreat to every now and then. Just take another look at that sunset...

Back to Life, Back to Reality

We've reluctantly returned to the "real world" today

A slap in the face with the heat and now no river

Another slap in the face with the mountain of bills

A shitload to do before Little Boy returns to school

More to do before Little Boy's b'day in about 2weeks

Final slap with more than likely a move on the cards soon

The holiday is definitely over....

Another Quickie

Well it feels like I've been away a week but it's only been a coupla days with still a week to go, maybe. I spent a couple of nights with sis and sussed out how she's going in her new house, interesting. Now I'm "up river" with fuck all to do and it's great. Little boy has been having fun, but now has no kids to help keep him occupied. We do have the river to keep us both happy and the weather has cooperated on that front. I managed to break a toe (I think) yesterday so I'm now limping around, cringing and complaining a bit. I think that's it in a nutshell. I'll catch up on all your blogs when I get home, hope all is well in everyone's little worlds. Keep Smiling! ;-)

Quickie

I was in quite the blogging mood last night, but site was down which meant I instead annoyed Phil for a while with my incessant babbling. Today I'm running around like a headless chook trying to get everything done so I can get out of here just after lunch. So instead of a slightly humourous entry including tales of my looking like a fool on more than one occasion in the last few days, you get this very quick goodbye. I'm away for another week or so, this time we're heading south to visit the rest of my family.

Keep Smiling folks! ;-)

Older and Wiser?

Another year gone by with the end of a day

While spent pleasantly it seems a little insignificant

Perhaps I seem a little insignificant at the moment

Feeling stuck in between, of I don't know what

Enjoying the times kept busy, dreading time to think

Circling the emptiness of my own thoughts, clouded

But still many reasons to keep smiling...
