It is less than a month until family members arrive from the UK for a five weeks holiday. I’m taking a month off from work to coincide with our relatives’ arrival. Both were postponed due to COVID.
My husband has repainted most of the interior of the house and is busy reinventing the covered patio. Fingers crossed, the insulated ceiling panels will have been installed to help shield us from the heat of the Queensland sun in Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Spring officially sprang in Australia on 1 September.
Winter is tax time. Usually a time of extreme procrastination, we knocked off one lot last weekend, it’s now with the accountant. Just the personal returns to complete next weekend.
My enthusiasm for things, like the phases of the moon waxes and wanes. The poet authoring part of my brain has already downed tools. It may make a grab for them again soon, one never knows. With this in mind, I’m taking a break from podcasting and creating audio files.
I aim to continue weekly blogging with the odd picture thrown in for good measure. This week’s is a cloud self portrait sketch.

How many relatives are arriving a bus load? So you’re going to do all the cooking all the cleaning all the laundry plus entertainment for these august guests from abroad. Visiting relatives can be loads of fun but it can also be challenging. Enjoy the visit.
Thank you, Larry, only two, my husband’s sister and husband. It will be a more sedate affair than previous trips as we are all so much older.
Nice to catch up with your happenings. Hope you have a relaxed and good time with family. My son that I haven’t see in several years is coming home for Christmas from Cambodia. Covid is raising its ugly head here, so hoping it won’t change his plans. Take care.
Thank you, Eileen. I hope your son manages to make the trip from Cambodia.
I too enjoy seeing all aspects of your artistry.
Thank you.
I love when you display your talents! How many guests will arrive? From you family only or both yours and your husband’s? I hope it’s a pleasant visit for everyone. Enjoy! ❤️
Thank you, Rachel. Only two of my husband’s relatives.
Best wishes! 😊
