Wandering along the path, and gathering mushrooms whilst talking to Flynn, the highlight of my day.
Destroying all the frustrations of yesterday, and reminding me that there is more to life than just the
normal.
Tonight we will fry the mushrooms with butter and enjoy a bit of free stuff that is also organic,and grown with out any work by us.
I am lacking energy to do anything creative, its a little sad but did walk about 4kms today....

Sunday, Plums, and other things.
Plums, and Pigs, Plums, and Pigs, go to gether like a horse and carriage. la la la
So many plums, that Father N is making chutney and other delisious delights,
Today has been rather strange, I slept in, and felt guilty , then got up and ran out of steam, then had a bath and went back to bed, then when the others came back from church I got up again for a wee while, but felt so cold I went back to bed for a little time, then got up again, I felt like a jack in the box........Hmm I had a jack in the box morning.
We have been collecting our poetry books to put in one place, we have quite a few, and rather varyied. Awesome, we have also decided on the new deck and where that is going to hang out. Good when 2 minds think alike.......aroha Sue.

Funerals, rain, creativity and other stuff
Went to a funeral today, there is a difference between a funeral for someone who has no faith in any afterlife and someone who has a belief in something. There seems to be some sort of strength.
The weather has been perfect for doing not much, but being a little creative, I have so many plans for all sorts of sutff, but am taking painkillers for the last 2 nights, so when I wake up what I think and what I say are two differrent thing. Its like its raining in my brain.
Reading an excellent book at the moment, callled "An afternoon in Summer" doing nothing, gaining everything, is alll about a woman who has a sabatical on Rarotonga island. She is from America and finds early on that life on a pacific island works at a very different pace to that back home.
She begins to see little things like butterflies, lizzards etc which she would never have seen or looked at for long in her previous life.
Its a good reminder that to stop and just be, brings into focus all sorts of things, like this morning I looked at an apricot sitting on the bench (not for long!)
Its not all orange at all but has many colours in it from red to yellow,,,,why have I never done that before I ask myself.....
Could be that Chris is off at work, and we slept timm 11.20 when Alice and Daniel Arrived to find us leaping out of bed to see who had arrived.
This afternoon is the end of the pantry saga, it has taken a week to sort out and label and repackage stuff in the 2 pantries. Tomorrow we start on Chris room to make room for E,K and F to come and live in it!!!!
More to come,,,,,,,love some comments xxxx

A new year and a new me
Reading other peoples blogs makes me think that may be I do have somthing to say to the world,
Things like for example Craigmore valley road, a winding road, with deep grey tarmac and white lines, and there in the middle of the road in what was once a pot hole is a luscious clump of green grass just sitting there sort of saying " Look at me" . I wish I could paint and then this is what I would paint.
The decision not to please people this year, to say no to people, and to spend time meditating and taking time to smell the flowers.
To take Christophers balls away from him, so he does not contstantly play with them, When the cricket is on he has a cricket ball and when its rugby its a rugby ball.....being constantly thacked against the wall, the chair, the anything......thankfully Iggy eats them as fast as he can find them.
The decision to be sociable at least once a week, with interesting people, not necessarly church people, but people who have bright and interesting views of the world.
No to worry about what other people think of me,,,,,they can go take a jump. If I want to wear stripes and patterns together then I will.
To relish my family, my abilities and my talents, and to make the appointment to have a tattoo.....
Remember that its better not to look back, otherwise you may fall over what the future has to offer you and break somthing.....
