8 January, 2010

It’s early … and very quiet. My brain is in that very gentle state between sleep and wakefulness and feels like it’s wrapped in cotton wool. Spelling mistakes abound. It’s 2010. How cool is that? I feel like I’m part of an Arthur C. Clarke sequel and for some reason looking forward to 10/10/10 which occurs to me is binary for ’42’. A quick search reveals that Douglas Adams did not intend this but subsequently that date just got more interesting.

We are starting to feel the benefits of all this house destruction/rebuilding/renovation. The lounge is now completely opened up and the living spaces make more sense. The kitchen is next and there is a lot of finishing work to do but it is feeling good. On mornings like this those new french doors are paying for themselves. The garden is looking very tidy this year and very green. Our compost ‘system’ sort of fell apart when the plastic compost bins ended up being overtaken by a large heap that became higher than our fence. I have a plan to deal with that which involves removing the plastic as well.

The new year resolution is simple this year – “Carry on”. No big plans beyond those already in place. Work on the house, garden, and web design. Keep it simple.

Now, I feel the need for a morning coffee in the sun.
