We got back from road tripping Sunday and home has never looked so good. We were only gone for a few days but I missed her this house of ours. She signifies us. She is old quirky with traits all her own and she has housed families since 1922 and she has a smell all her own. A smell of wood, children, dogs, linen, age and it’s what I love most about coming home. The smell of her as you first walk in the door. Its comforting. So when we arrived to heavy rain and cold air. It was winter and it was delicious. We unpacked, turned on the Tv, lit the fire and that is about as much as we have done ever since.
Just. As. Winter. Days. Should be.
In fact now its Wednesday morning it was Monday when I wrote that and the weekend was and is now but a dream but these are the few things running through my head.
1. The road trip was just a short one and even though it was just shy of five hours I noticed something really significant about my kids and family. My children thrived on it. My husband and I chatter. My kids they were eager to talk, read the road signs, play I spy and made up games using addition and subtraction. We don’t have electronic equipment in our car ..there is no dvd, ipad or ipods its just us or the window. I like that.
2. My meal plan for the week Potatoe bake with rocket salad, pork laksa, taco’s, chilli concarne, spaghetti and meat balls and chicken tortillas.
3. We were at a Mc Donalds on our way south and husband took on some youths being gobby. I have never been so proud to call him my husband.
4.We saw Malificent I loved it. Jolie was amazing and the lips loved them the colour used on them found..here.
5. It’s a seeming never-ending problem..when you work your arse off and start getting rewarded financially people fail to see the hard work never it took to get you there. They forget that part.
6. Im setting up shop literally…I have always wanted to have a book store. No point in wanting I will keep you posted.
7. Taylor swift gets crafty here.
8. Living small has never been so stylish or portable here.
9. Rules for your wife from 1913. Thank goodness we have moved on here.
10. Since the Sandy Hook shooting in the US there have been a further 74 school shootings in the US? What is so hard to understand about gun control here.
