Well I have to tell you all my mood has improved greatly since the warmer weather has arrived.
I have to go to work for a little while in half an hour but then I am going tot he nursery to get some seedlings and get into the veggie garden.
DaisyMountain as some of you will recall has been on the market but we have decided to stay here for another 12 months or so. A decision that has been harder than I thought it would be.
But once it was made it sure made getting out in the garden a lot more fun and more productive.
At the moment I am sitting here with the gentle perfume of the Brunfelsia I cut yesterday wafting through the house. I think I might just cut a big bunch for the vase on my desk as well.
While my time is limited with work, and the demands of the family - there is a gentle balance that has settled itself over our lives at the moment and I plan to take full advantage of it. SO some simple vegetable gardening and some gardening - nothing startling just bits and pieces that I can do in the few linutes I find spare every now and then.
The trick to working full time I have discovered is not to wait for large chunks of time to open up to get tasks accomplished - just take a few minutes here and there to do a bit.
Clean out one drawer in the kitchen while you are waiting for the toast to cook, because I guarantee that the hour and a half that you need for the whole job is much harder to find than the bonus five to ten minutes, that present themsleves during the course of the day.
I have revisited Fly lady recently - it is a "home life organisational system" that I used for years and years - it is probably more relevant now than it ever was.
I hope you are all using this beautiful day to full advantage - doing, relaxing, or connecting with people you love.
Until next time

Hi DaisyMum! I find myself doing '5 minute' jobs too. The more hours I work at our business, the more organised I find that I am at home.
We are just back from 2 weeks in the 'Kimberley' region of WA - fantastic! Many blogs to follow...
