I've just spent two very busy, but satisfying, days at work. I swear that when I drive home after a day's work, I feel elated and happy and able to move mountains. When I arrived home yesterday I talked to Hanno, there was mail to read - a thank you note from two little boys : ) - and lots of emails. I usually have a million things battling for space in my head when I get home, it's a mix of sorting through what I've done during the day, and being at ease with decisions made and the actions taken. Yesterday I was two hours late leaving work and I didn't have time to make notes and lists of follow ups, so when I got home, that is what I did. After that, I fell in a heap. I had a shower and went to bed.
I still feel tired this morning so I'll take it easy today and look after myself. I have a few things to catch up on, Hanno did the washing yesterday to beat the storms so washing isn't one of them. Good. But I do have to tidy up, write a couple of letters, answer a lot of emails and work in the garden for a short period. I have to finish picking the pigeon peas before the king parrots take them all and tie up some tomatoes.
I hope to have that all completed by 12 noon as I have plans to take Hanno out to lunch and a movie. I have been wanting to see Away from Her since I saw it reviewed on the SBS Movie Show. It finishes tomorrow so we have to go today. I think lunch and this movie is just what I need to relax for the day. We haven't been out for a long time so I know Hanno will enjoy it. He will choose where we have lunch so it will probably be one of the surf clubs overlooking the beach. : )
I have been thinking of what I could use as a giveaway to mark 50,000 visitors. We should pass that mark tomorrow. I've decided the prize will be the Give More, Expect Less stitchery that is featured on this blog under my photo. It is very precious to me as it is little dots of my philosophy of life bound up in stitches. It's no great work of art but it's a nice way to remind oneself of what has meaning in this life. It's important to me to sometimes give away something I really want to keep. It keeps me on my toes. So when we pass the milestone number, I'll make a special post where you can enter your name if you'd like to be in the draw for the prize.
I hope everyone is well and happy. Thank you for stopping by today.
