Aah, the Australian summer. Gum leaves, gum leaves, and more gum leaves. And not a koala in sight. Yeah, I should probably rake up those leaves sometime. Mm. Maybe later? Actually I've been streamlining the housework this summer; mostly by just not doing it. The kitchen is clean but cluttered, the bathroom is acceptable, the rest of the house is dusty, but it isn't bothering me. I'd like to say I've been really creative during this spell, but I've mostly been resting, and idly dreaming of things I might do when I'm feeling like it. I suppose I know that my energy and sense of industry will return, and that the in-between times are just that, and not to be viewed with negativity. (I don't like the clumpy nature of that last bit of wording - suggestions, please?) BLW, loved your post this morning, and now I have the answer to my third option in my hot chocolate date with Amber - I would like to have learned more grammar. Unlike my friend BLW, I just write it like I say it. So, her words are the topiary and parterre gardens to my unfenced bush paddock. *sigh* But until I find a nerdy adult learning class on grammar (do they have such things?), I'm stuck with colloquial and clumpy.

OHMYGOD you make me laugh! (And I like your unraked leaves. It reminds me of my unraked everything - including the crumby floors, the laundry-littered bedrooms, the kid crap everywhere...
And speaking of kids - yours are so beautiful!!!
More pics? More hot chocolate? Any shoe-shopping on the horizon?
;)
I love your relaxed laissez-faire attitude toward house work over the summer. I admire it, I want it! I do the same thing (i.e. nothing) but with shame attached, and that feels worse than not good. By the way, colloquial and clumpy is just like a comfy chair :)
