“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But, since no one was listening, everything must be said again.” – Andre Gide
I am so happy and grateful for our leaking pipe under the sink. Just as everyone is back to full health, our bedroom aircon was fixed – everything being as it should – then the pipe started leaking just to remind us that there will always be problems. They can be overcome but only so you can face more problems.
I am so happy and grateful for our air fryer and Amy’s new batch of cinnamon scrolls which she is heating up now. I realise how useless I am at cooking, having not really done any for the last ten years or so. One day I will have to find out how to use the kitchen again.
I am so happy and grateful that we can listen to Australian radio online. It’s nice to hear familiar English language voices even though it’s mostly vacuous nonsense. I know it makes Amy feel more comforted to listen. I’m thinking that we will end up back in Australia in the next ten years.
I am so happy and grateful to our passionfruit plants, all of which have managed to grow well and spread everywhere. I’m hoping that they fruit well sometime this year too.
I am so happy and grateful to fall asleep last night as a long-lasting storm blew over and lit up the skies, rattled the windows and the rain, in big lumps, smashed against the tin roof of the shed.
I am so happy and grateful for this delicious cinnamon scroll that I am about to eat. Amy made them earlier this week and she nailed it. Better than any store-bought scroll I ever tried.
I am so happy and grateful that Kim Chi is eating again and starting to look like normal. Soon she will be running around like crazy and chasing Cap. Cap has been trying to play with her but she hasn’t been interested.
I am so happy and grateful that today I can grab coffee at 22 Grams in the city. We have to take Kim Chi to the vet, hopefully for the last time. Thankfully, she is starting to eat again and acting more like she normally does. Due to Covid, I haven’t been going out to have coffee so it’s a positive that 22 Grams is close to the vet.
The best thing about today was laying lazily in Amy’s arms (or she was in mine), naked, aircon dreaming, drifting, relaxing – purposefully relaxing. It was a very nice feeling once I could strip away things I had to do, supposed to do or wanted to do.
I am so happy and grateful to my cousin Sharon. She sent me an email on my mum’s birthday with a picture of her garden and a plant my mum gave her.
I am so happy and grateful that when the internet people came yesterday they didn’t charge us anything despite it obviously being our fault. Maybe we have a premium service or something but anyway, it was a pleasant surprise especially as Amy said that I would have to pay for it (and not her!).
I should get back to you but I’ve been lazily enjoying my ‘holiday’. If not going to work means staying at home for me, I need to make sure I do something to maintain the good habits I have started when I do go to work.
