So. We’re here.
As I type, we’re playing Star Wars for the first time to the kids however the experience isn’t as transfixing as we thought – and perhaps secretly hoped – it would be for them. Riley has come back to the table to play Monopoly (we can’t shake that spectre off) and Keira is in the kitchen supervising the making of sandwiches.
Life has fallen into an easy holiday routine. If only all routines could be the same: beach in the mornings, quiet afternoons in the heat, and another trip back to swim, or just to walk, towards evening. I’m reading too, finishing up all the novels I’ve lugged along with me, that I’ve been unable to face completing for whatever reasons at home. I’ve got a Kindle now (birthday!), with plenty more loaded and ready to begin, but I was unable to resist the tug towards the local public library, to mingle with the real items, perhaps as a semi-apology in advance if I end up neglecting the place. I doubt that’s going to happen, though. I still walked away with an armful.
And at this rate I’ll probably get through them all, as we are with the rented DVDs, which at home often go back to the store unwatched because we’re too tired or busy to sit down and enjoy them.
All in all, an excellent start.

In other news:
Apparently I’m on a Babble Top Mommy Blogger list of sorts. Please to vote? Instructions? Ah. What’s easiest…? Maybe if you clicked on ‘alphabetical’ to get the lists up that way, go through to about the middle where the ‘M’s are, find Miscellaneous Mum? Thank you!
Also, the December Aussie Mummy Bloggers Carnival this month is at Good Goog. Good stuff!
