Giving new life to my journalling!
Today is what you might call a boring day. Nothing much has happened, and yet it is a day I embrace, and would embrace again, given the chance. The sun provides a warmth not too powerful, but sufficient enough to make me feel as though I am getting a decent dose of vitamin D. I sit in the ramble of our backyard, with a cup of white tea, listening to my neighbours on both sides go about their Sunday afternoon business. I hear bursts of motorsport over the grape vines and surprisingly calm Greek family lunch behind the falling-down fence. Later, I sit on the couch, cuddling my two and half year old. We watch a cartoon and he tells me “I love you too”. It’s spontaneous and not connected to anything we’ve been talking about and that makes it all the more touching. Even later, when the sun has not yet gone down but has lost its enthusiasm for heat, I have a bath. The bubbles enclose me and I feel lazy and tired. Now, I’m in bed with plans for our new kitchen. Style or function? We need to decide, but like everything else today, nothing is urgent.
