around here . . .







there's heavy rain outside. general disarray inside. craft and cubbies. 
there's a fire roaring. a husband who brings in the wood. keeps us warm.
there's the school holidays. at the halfway mark. three weeks in all.
there's a hot cup of tea. followed by another. and then another. 
there's a mountain of washing. from a week in the city. draped here and there.
there are details to record. in the fleeting spare moments. before i forget. 
there are slippers on feet. beanies on heads. pajamas at noon.
there's chai simmering. on top of the fire. the slow cooker's on. 
there's evidence of winter. everywhere i look. around here.

  3. This makes me want to pour a steaming mug of tea, cosy up under a blanket and watch the raindrops at the window. A beautiful capture of winter x

  5. The way you've described winter in your home makes me love it even more :) Has been freezing here today, I've not ventured too far from the heater this afternoon and like you have been enjoying endless cups of warming tea and draping washing all over our living area in an attempt to dry at least one load!! x

  8. I just spotted Oscar too, hello there! Of the many things I admire you for, keeping that couch clean ranks right up there! I just found pizza down the back of our couch. Must see each other soon. Can we come and play when my big boys go back to school next week?
