This is our backyard. Lovely, right?
The rugby oval behind our house has been turned into a mud bath. The poor guys who were out there yesterday & today in the pouring rain were totally brown by the end of their games. I couldn’t even tell what colours their jerseys were. But at least I was looking from the warm comfort of my dining room! I really have NO idea why anyone would have wanted to be a spectator in the crazy heavy rain & wind this weekend.
Rest assured, we will be getting a proper fence. Although, I really like looking out onto the oval, especially under lights at night- it’s so green & beautiful. I also like the open expanse of the view. But, I do not like soccer balls being kicked over the fence at 8am on a Sunday morning. Unfortunately, at this time it is highly likely I’m still in my pjs & dressing gown, & they stand at the fence & try to make eye contact with me in my kitchen- trying to make me feel guilty enough to go out (I repeat; in my pyjamas!) & fetch the ball. No thank you.
I must admit, I’ve been going a bit stir crazy in this weather. Being stuck cooped up inside with a toddler who really wants to be outside is not much fun.
I attempted to try to keep on top of the housework, but was thwarted every occasion.
Today is also Father’s Day! We actually haven’t seen P in about a week as he has been locked in his office doing a major assignment. He’s been pulling all nighters & everything! Kids, make sure you go to uni when you are young & footloose fancy free. This thing called “tertiary education” is not for the faint-hearted, & it’s definitely not family-friendly.
Thankfully today P could take a few hours off & we had a bbq with the whole family.
To my darling husband, mwah, you are the best. xx
Happy Father's Day 2010
