Detail of work in progress. 
The past few days have been astonishing in Melbourne. Hot, humid, rain, rain, RAIN. The other day we truly could not see our own letterbox for thick fast rain. Exciting and a little scary. We saw people running for cover along the street who had been taken completely by surprise, and cyclists (I hope they got home safe).
Today it’s cold, or is it warm? The sun is out but the wind is blowing a gale. We went to bed without blankets and woke up to long sleeves and warm socks. There is a deluge. A deluge of rain, of smiles, of emotional people, happiness and stress, food, chores, Christmas specials. Things yet to be done. I hope you are doing OK.
Not meaning to frighten anyone, but there’s 3 sleeps to Christmas, and I think by the day I will be too tired to actually enjoy it. I am so grateful that I get to go to a large family gathering where everything will have been done for me, and just need to get us dressed and out the door.
Right now though I am having a moment of bliss. Zara is asleep (ASLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY!). Matteo is watching a film, and I have 30 minutes until our visitors arrive. I am tossing up whether to attend to a job in a precious moment or just lie flat on back and do nothing.
Nothing wins! Lucky, lucky me.
The weather has been awful – today wasn’t too bad humidity wise – though yesterday was the pits!
BTW – lie back and do nothing!!!
The weather sure is bizarre. The other day we spent 5 hours sitting around Sunshine Coast airport because none of the planes could leave Melbourne to come and get us. I was sure someone had stuffed up somewhere and they were just feeding us the bad weather story – I mean it’s supposed to be summer!
