Weary Sunday evening

Aaaah. The end of another busy busy weekend. A beautiful Sunny early Autumn day - how clear it is that Autumn has a arrived - the cooler mornings and evening, the change in the light, the first browning leaves on the London Plane Trees down along New South Head Road.

I am enjoying:

*my Dirty Granny Apple Cider from Matilda Bay Brewery in WA
* my almost completed set of fingerless mits in so soft possum-merino
* watching my almost 5 year old daughter discover the delights of lego sets and the joys of time spent with her Dad (it has taken a while!)
* listening to my 12 year old battle and battle with a Mozart Rondo and sound better each time and loving it.
* Smelling Lamb Rogan Josh cooking on the stove for dinner. Yum Yum.
* thinking of all the progress I have made today in cleaning up the house
* avoiding thinking tooo much of how much more there is to do
*looking forward to attending the Supreme Court Tomorrow to see our friend Robert Beech-Jones SC inducted as a Supreme Court Judge.
*how terrific the house looks now it is painted. Why did it take us so long?

*looking at my newly planted lavender and gaura plants and pretty pink Mandeveillea, along with the pots of gardenias and moruya and hoping they will be looking a little more established by the time of the open inspections in a month or so.
