Three days

A three day holiday doing not much of anything.

Washing some bedsheets.
Attempting to weed the garden before giving up.
Trimming up and disposing of some of the fallen palm fronds.
Breaking in the outdoor clothesline again.
Trimming back the hibiscus to make a path to the side garden where the clothesline is.

A random says to me "you're a beautiful lady and your dress is beautiful too". So says her 3 year old granddaughter, a delightful little princess in a multicoloured flowing dress. Her grandmother tells me she likes flowing things.

If only we gave ourselves and each other more compliments like that.

So, is that the holiday you've been wanting to have?

Oh, possum, so sorry your holiday turned out horrid. At least you weren't at work all that time.

And 3 days of doing nothing sounds wonderful. I get to do nothing tomorrow for Australia Day, or at least I will if Dobby gets her room clean so she can go for a sleepover... :-)

Thanks for your lovely thoughts- glad everyone you k now just missed it! Sadly, I know a long list of people that lost their businesses and houses. Am hoping they can get back on track too. How lovely- flowing dresses are beautiful.
