I am thoroughly drenched, having walked with Matilda to Croileagan this morning and foolishly put my faith in the clearish skies. Silly, silly me... Autumn is here it seems, good and proper. I'm spending a quiet morning with my favourite boy (the little one), faffing about around the house and humming along to some of this before we go and collect our little big girl.

a small masterpiece
Monday, 2 September 2013
This is the first ever portrait of me, by Matilda. She even got my hair perfect, I had it up in a messy nest on top of my head (as I often do at home) and yes, I DO have orange hair all the way around and over my head. AND blue eyes and a funny face. Not so much the bright pink skin but I'll allow her a little poetic licence. I just wanted to share this little piece of pure joy (to me).
In other news, we've been spoiled with five whole days together as Tom managed to steal a little break away from his busy schedule at the Hotel and it has been perfect. Much overdue and very, very much appreciated. We had a date night on Friday, our first since last November, would you believe... It was SO much fun. Dinner and a play and a couple of cocktails. He's back to work tomorrow and we're going to miss him very much indeed.
This song got me through some chores this morning, it's good for wiggling along to, I hope you like it too:

I dug out a Nick Drake record from a very jumbled stash of music several weeks back and it has been on regular rotation since. I just love this (Matilda does too). It's my reliable quiet of the evening, chill down and think the day over music and good washing dishes and dreaming of elsewhere music of the moment. Just good.
What are you listening to just now?
