Brevity is the soul etc
Lovely day yesterday - home around 1:30am, zzzz,so not up to much today. Elena beautiful; other kids all growing up far too fast - all leggy girls and fidgety moody preteen boys. Not a good combination in a house not designed for gross motor activity. Hmmmmmm. Highlight: libertarian hubby of friend has clearly been Teaching his sons; they were playing a game with bits of Lego standing in for Kevin Rudd, John Stanhope and Hitler (whom they had exhumed in order to fight a war with asylum seekers, who were The Baddies for no reason they could adequately explain). This worries me. (Not them so much, but the kind of unspoken assumption that everyone would just *know* refugees=Bad). That aspect is clearly from peers rather than their Dad, which makes it even scarier...
Friends all well; lots of sitting about over rather nice food talking. Many lovely photos taken.
Today - working and hiding work from hubby (he's not exactly cool with the job developments); but wtf, it has to be done and I don't see any other bugger walking around with the files. Cooking stuffed squash & stewed plums - picked our first fully ripe tomato of the season, a Black Russian which was bloody gorgeous. Pho for lunch, lots of fresh stock in the fridge. Catching up on Mad Men and progressively reinstalling as much software as possible.
And groovin' to the Rainmakers. One good side effect of the computer revamp is finding a lot of files which were buried in backups of backups on drives I never used... music files included. I swear this is one of my all-time favourite songs.
