a very pretty distraction

images from Cote De Texax blog... thank you for making my week

Escaping from my ho-hum week of suburban wife/motherhood, I have been escaping in to the 'It's Complicated' house.  This would be my dream home.  I would even forgo a Cape Cod dream house or my Formosa Road dream house for THIS house!

Trying to live in the moment and be mindful of my time and days, although it has been hard this week.  School holidays start on Saturday and I am dreaming of the squally winter coastline of Northern New South Wales just a little too much.

I need a holiday

I need a holiday from washing... I know that I need a break when I am getting annoyed at washing. I find washing therapeutic, a time for me to hang clothes out in the sun and not think about anything but matching peg colours and listen to the birds (and planes!). It is my escape and strangely enough I do enjoy it... But for the last week I have had enough. Maybe because the sun has not been out much and a few days have felt very London like, reflecting my mood maybe. But a bit of sunshine, salt water and sand is in order!! Even if it is only in my head.
