The days are sliding into winter, in fits and starts.
Mornings have been freezing, but I’ve got the fan on now (with my feet under the duvet…)
This last week or two we’ve been not too well. Not sure why – probably some seasonal virus – but we’ve only been lurching about when we needed to. The boys had most of this week off work, and my Babe went in to uni when it was unavoidable. Otherwise, there was a lot of resting going on!
I did my cleaning last week, but had to stop and rest from time to time. Today I have been feeling better, and have had an exciting day. I did my cleaning (vacuuming, mopping, toilet and basins), put a wash on, did the dishes and unpacked some of my trinkets into my new glass display cases!
If you had told younger me that I would be so happy about doing housework, young me would not have believed you 😆
It’s the “doing OK” feeling that’s a novelty. I do also like things to be clean…
I feel I’ve been enjoying the house more, as well. I leave our door onto the verandah open all day to let the air in, but I like to go out onto the verandah when it’s dark, before I close the door for the night. I just lean on the balustrade and spend some time surveying my domain 😀
A couple of days ago I settled into the big armchair in the lounge, to read and have my lunch. Eventually I decided to drag the chair to the doorway and let my feet get some sunlight.
I enjoyed the warmth, and my feet were happy.
The various bushes around the house are a riot of colour at the moment, from this Geisha Girl shrub,
to the various coloured bougainvillea.
My feet are happy.
So is the rest of me!
