When I went to bed last night (slightly overdressed in my flanny Pj's) I had to kick the sheet off to get comfortable (a bit of a warm night).
Slept soundly.
Woke this morning with the covers tucked up near my chin and the rumbling sounds of distance thunder in my ears.
Unlike the last time I woke to the sounds of thunder - this time I was thrilled to bits.
How cosy.
Ok, the alarm interrupted my snuggle in to the doona moment.
But I ignored it!
The sky is grey. Not the tiniest bit of blue sky around. The rain is coming down. Certainly not in buckets - just that nice pitter patter kind.
The cup of tea is in hand and I am SO wanting to just sit here and take in this atmosphere.
Trust me - when you live in the driest State (as I do) then rain makes everything GLOW.
The bricks are redder. The grass suddenly gets a greenish colour. The earth smells like -ok, that part is not so pleasant!
Excuse me a minute - the rain is pelting at the moment - must go and take a look. Really this is an opportunity to give thanks - yes indeed.
I am grateful that the dark grey skies are comforting me and not stirring up darker moods.
The students will have to stay in the classroom today - rain - no play policy - crazy! Still, with only three days to go before Summer break - I am sure we will do just fine.
I am looking at the clock and I realize I had better get my skates on if I am to get dressed and be ready for school (in time).
Oh what a pity!
Just a few things of update.
1. I had my hair coloured yesterday - auburn/brown with caramel highlights.
2. I have 300g to go and I have lost 10kg.
3. Ellisha's basketball team won the grand final - and she got fairest and best from the association.
4. It has been confirmed - by son - that we are having fish for Christmas (I will cook a turkey as well).
Thinking of you all (well not all - but definitely my drop in people).
With 10 min to go (before I need to be in car)I have to iron jeans, dry hair, get lunch ready (soup) make bed, clean teeth - what the heck - I'll leave the dishes!!!!
That now makes 9 min so I must run.
Toodles!
