Location: Sydney, Australia

The rain & winter kicked in last week with a stiff reminder that we haven't had a winter for 3 years. We've both had colds ...sniff snort blecccch ...Cas is better now, and mine is going ...hoooray!! I have been stuck up here like Rapunzel for days, which is too long for an impatient butterfly type of person. I obviously learnt nothing of Patience from our time in China, it's the virtue most prized there! For very good reasons :-)

A perfect time for singing the Blues I was thinking, misty & murky & sodden & cold & atmospheric ...I was just thinking along the lines of 'Stormy Weather' ... when suddenly the rain has disappeared & the sky is now a strange blue colour that we haven't see all week. So now maybe I will cheer up & sing 'Blue Skies' & hang out the washing in the sunlight instead of stuffing it in the dryer ...and kill any remaining cold germs that might be lurking ...stone dead!! Out damned virus!

So since I'm feeling more energetic (such a weather bird!) I am feng-shui-ing the house while Cas is at work. Feng Shui sounds better than Housework, the thought of which will make me flee to the shops & cafes. But Feng shui is OK ...it suggests that I am taking calm control over my life instead of burying it under mounds of clutter & such. Hey that could be a good name for a second-hand shop ...Clutter & Such. Ha ha. and everything will be as if a breath of fresh air has just blown through ...that's the Chi you know ...Life Force. And gads I need to force something through my jaded post-viral existence right NOW!!

Back later ...I let you know what the river of Chi has accomplished :-) Well anything's better than nothing!
