Fin de semana

Domingo:
This coming week will be busy. I've two long days on the road with work, tomorrow and Thursday. Boss gets back Tuesday so there will be much catching up and breaking the news that one important piece of work still isn't finished as I let myself get sidetracked (yeah, not thrilled about that). No drumming this week but the taiko committee is meeting and I'll come back with a new job. Going to hit the pool Wednesday instead of the drums and see how my knee handles it all.
Yeah, busy as ever, even when I try to slow down. Still, this weekend felt a little more balanced, like I took time to just breathe. If I keep working at it I'll get it right one day. Besides, this life I've made for myself? It's pretty damn sweet.
- Coffee with Brad to hear all about the adventures of becoming dad and to share the recent dramas of my life. We've come to the conclusion I must crave chaos and excitement at some subliminal level else my life wouldn't keep turning out this way.
- The staff at my local deli-cafe have taken it upon themselves to find me date so I don't have an excuse not to come to their Friday night dinners. I'm rather amused.
- Lying in the garden, soaking up spring sunshine, smelling the jasmine in the neighbour's yard and listening to the bees seducing the borage. I'm to pleased the garden's finally nice enough to just enjoy without seeing quite so much work to be done.
- Successful experimental baking (quinoa, honey & seed cookies of win!) and true home-harvested garden salad.
- Practicing fue.
- Having a new friend over for seed-swapping and tea, realising that I'm meeting real people through this whole blogging deal.
- Chorizo and cider and learning to relax.
- Tax return time, with a soundtrack of perfect melancholia: Paul Kelly & Australian National Academy of Music song cycle - Conversation with Ghosts.
Domingo:
- Morning walk to the Market with Kat in tow to buy the week's veg & grow community a little more. Took Toni-safe baker Mrs. Rees some of my own tasty treats to try and swapped ideas for gluten & dairy free brownies. Got some exciting plans started for my trip to Mt. Gnomon Farm & the Tarkine next week - more of the blog work paying off!
- Catching up on inevitable chores, inside and out.
- Planted carrot and beetroot seeds, plus cornflowers for the insects and dried-petal use.
- Sat in the sun with a hot mug of tea, watching the garden grow.
- Harvested my first ever leek!
- Went for a wander, knocked on a stranger's door and returned with a bag full of Meyer lemons. Win!
- More fresh from the garden cooking that tastes so very good.
- Turning the grapefruit from the tree in my front garden (that have been in the fridge for a month) into grapefruit, ginger and mint syrup to be frozen as ice cubes and added to drinks in the summer. That'll make a nice addition to a G&T, I suspect.
