I have looked forward to this weekend for a long while – not that I have anything planned but it’s just so nice to take a breather after such a mentally-taxing week. So at this moment, I’m sitting on the small table in my yet-to-be formed European corner, behind the garage, listening to my old Windham Hill CD that I haven’t played in years. A cup of Lapsang Souchong tea is also accompanying me on this relaxing Saturday – I normally drink green tea or Rooibos tea thesedays but I still like the smokey taste of lapsang souchong.
It’s really a pleasant afternoon here in Adelaide, the breeze comes and goes shyly, tinkling the windchimes that I put on the trees – whilst the rhythmic kachunk, kachunk sound of the washing machine adds to the domestic theme of the day. So far, I have washed all of the dishes on the sink (sometimes I let them sit for a week before I get motivated to wash them … hahahah. Yeah, disgusting, eh?) :P, I have done my first batch of laundry, and I have also uprooted the dead shrub in the front yard. The shrub was planted by the previous owner of the house, but the strong wind in winter toplled it over and it hasn’t recovered ever since. It was a blessing in disguise in a way because I haven’t done a good job in pruning the tree – it was growing way too quickly and way out of shape. In place of the dead tree, I have planted the choisya ternata (Mexican orange blossom) tree that I bought a while back.
So now, I’m waiting for my second batch of laundry to finish (my bedsheet et al), and I thought I could relax for a bit with my MacBook, my cuppa, and Windham Hill.
