It appears that the monsoon as arrived...a little ‘monlate’ as the newspapers are fond of quipping. *smile* The temperature this morning was about 15 degrees cooler than I’m used to in the morning; so very strange. I found that I was quite comfortable in jeans and a light sweater.. at 30 degrees!!
Not too much going on this side of the world. I leave tomorrow night for Colombo, Sri Lanka, and am back the following Monday. It seems to have completely snuck up on me, I keep thinking that I’m not leaving for at least another week. I can’t believe that it’s already the end of June.
The weekend was lovely, a nice break. Bryan and I built a fort in his living room, with sheets and the dining room chairs. It was a perfect, grey, rainy day to do it. So we wore our toques and ate peanuts and drew pictures of log cabins (Bryan) and listened to Cat Power and Nightmares on Wax. I haven’t built a fort in years, and as Bryan commented, it seemed to take a lot more work when we were kids. Ain’t that the truth. It’s just about the only thing that’s gotten easier with age.
It was my Mum’s birthday yesterday, so we had a big dinner, ate way too much food and laughed so hard. That’s definitely something that I hope to bring to my own family – the amazing laughter and food that has always graced our table. I always feel like I’m getting a gift being able to sit at a table with my family.
That’s about it! I have to find some time today to pack and get ready for Sri Lanka. This weather just makes me want to drink tea and sleep and listen to jazz. Which worries me, since the monsoon lasts for a few months. Productivity may be a little low in the next while. *smile* Take care everyone!
