15 Marbles

First day of Spring! Spring always brings hope. I have Facebook memories telling me that last year on this day we were in lockdown, but we (MsAn and I) stepped outside to soak in some sunshine.

Today we were both home, but didn’t step outside. She is sick with cold & cough and I have headaches and cramps. So we just stayed in. She slept most of the day. I worked for part of the day before clocking off & taking a nap. Turns out it was just what I needed, as I woke up relaxed and refreshed.

Speaking of relaxed, a couple of months back, we visited the Great Stupa at Bendigo,VIC and found beautiful quotes and chants to do for various situations or even just spiritual enlightenment. I love visiting such peaceful places, peaceful and all inclusive.

I absolutely loved the energy and vibe of the place, warmth of the staff and frequent checking in to see if everything was ok or if we needed help. We need more places like this in the world.

On that happy thought, Happy Spring everyone.

May we remain healthy and happy..

More later!

Love Trish

Hello world.. hope you are well.. and I hope at least one person is reading this. I suppose, it’s ok even if no one is reading . This is a just a random nothing post. I have been watching Chesapeake Shores since Friday evening . It is just such a beautiful feel good show. I think watching this show has rekindled my creative mojo a little.

I don’t know if it’s because its a story about siblings – getting along, loving and hating each other , yet coming through for each other, or is it the beautiful characters, small town charm or just the no- nonsense story, that makes me happy. But, it makes me happy and I felt like writing.

MsAn has claimed my laptop since I finished studying, but tonight I asked her for it, so I could type this post. I had/have no plan. I didn’t know what I was going to write about. I just wanted to feel the keys under my fingers and enjoy the sensation of stringing together some words, that I can read later, smile and remember this pleasant feeling.

I bought some yarn over the weekend – picked colors that I know the girls will like. Winter is almost over and they don’t make special requests anymore, but I hope to pick up the hooks or needles, whatever suits my fancy and make a scarf or two. I could be ambitious and aim to make a blanket, but I know that’s not going to happen anytime soon so its better to be realistic and try for a scarf.

I had MsA with me when I bought the yarn. We went to our local Reject Shop and indulged in some ‘feel good shopping’ , you know buying things that you don’t need but want and they make your heart happy. Yeah.. just that 🙂 We had had a very busy week and it’s just want we needed to comfort ourselves – that and some delicious chicken burgers.

Speaking of burgers, my meal planning has gone out the window . Well, not completely, I look at recipes, save them on pinterest, browse some more and then am too tired or lazy to plan and implement.

That’s all really . As I said, I just wanted to type a random nothing post, so I can read and smile later. I am getting ready to brace a wet and cold week here in Melbourne and hoping there are sunny periods and rainbows to brighten the days to come.

Take care.. I will see you when I see you

Much love,

Trish ❤

… of blogging or at least pretending to 🙂

I realised today is the last day of February.. how did that happen? I feel like the days are dragging on but the months are flying by.

The girls are well settled at their respective schools and the routine monitoring continues. They are still testing twice a week and so far the tests have been negative.

Oh one Sunday we did get a positive test and isolated immediately. But we also decided to get PCR done within 12 hours, as there were no symptoms at all. Guess what? The PCR came back negative and we were approved to leave Iso. Isolation, even if for 2 days was an experience in itself- one that I don’t wish to relive again.

In other news, I turned another year older and this year, I asked for a nice day out and some plants for my birthday present. Oh and a nice massage 😃 Here’s my favourite one from the lot 💕

How has 2022 been for you, so far? If you are reading this, do leave me a comment:)

Cheers, Trish
