It's the little things
We took the children through a carwash tonight. First time I think they've ever been through one and it freaked them out a bit.
We got lots of 'oooohs' and 'aaahhhhs', but then we also got lots of plaintive whines and 'Daddy!!! I want to get OUT!!' as well. The latter from little Will.
It's just these little moments that happen in life, with children, ....as a child; that seem to last as a momentary time capsule. I remember things like this from my childhood, and they make time irrelevant, because the moment is as it was back then. It hasn't changed.
Memories are to me like a resonance. A sound that can be recaptured instantly by the mind. Each note is changed slightly by Distance and not Time itself. The melody is always familiar. You know what I mean?

something for a giggle
This was what should have been pinned on me yesterday at the 'unveiling' of my daughter's school makeover. They won $75000 worth of landscaping etc, and, well, if I could see $30000 worth of it then my arse is a sugarloaf.
At least the furniture they got will last about 3 months. It's all from Ikea. :) bless. And the bromiliades they planted everywhere will propagate lots and lots of mosquitoes for the children to play with. Oh the joys of living in a tropical climate. Then there's the half dozen Grevillias they planted too, they look fab. Unfortunately one of the boys at the school is severely allergic to them. It could all have been helped with a little communication!!
Sarcasm anyone? Going cheap today.....
but here's a picture I love
Danu
Celtic Warrior Goddess. Isn't she fab? Can't remember where I got this from, so to the artist in question, I send you all appreciation for your talent and inspiration.

nyoo vyoo
Ok so the last picture didn't work out. I've loaded another. It is the heiroglyph for 'rejoice, exalt!' etc. I thought it appropriate to lift my spirits. (there's so many of them)
I have been working hard giving suggestions to fix other people's woes, and it left me somewhat 'flat'. Hard to believe if you've seen my profile physically, but yes, 'flat'. Deflated. Un-pumped. 'pfft!'. I still have dark rings under my eyes.
So today, I was decanting this gem elixir I've made to use as a base for the flower essences, and I thought, " damn! I need some of this mojo!!", so I swigged the rest of it down the hatch, and burped. All is well. :)
Rejoice! Exalt! etc etc etc.... in your own time....
