Regularly falling into the silence behind all things.

21 May 2012

book-end days


surviving the dentist | love him!
a trip to find a chair and mirror and fan,
chairs so expensive,
and forgetting the fan.
visits | house assessments, quotes for cleaning, maintenance....
pizza by the bay,
and watching her eat big.
ice-cream as Miss 4 glees through a play area
making in-the-moment friends.
a free coffee, compliments from the manager,
we have no idea why.

a moment, to pretend we don't have a million things to do.

a finished pool, finally,
and the photographer on Sunday.
a last visit with friends,
good food, chats, and sea.

oh the sea, these lazy walks, will be missed, no doubt there.

me and the Miss, flying out on Wednesday.
if you don't hear from me before my friends, i'll be here on Friday.

  6. I love making "in the moment" friends... It's so nice to meet people that are in a good mood and happy to just chit chat while the kids play. No strings, just kindness and smiles.

    Wishing you a safe and happy trip Mon, I'll be thinking of you across the channel!!
    xo

    ps. the pool looks fantastic, and awesome for big girl eating big!!!
