I know I'm not always optimistic - but I try. :-) I feel that it's about the same amount of energy that I end up putting in to getting all pessimistic/skeptic/upset and optimistic/positive/hopeful... so, I figured, I might as well work on the path that will lead me towards a better life. :-D Anyway, it sounds like you have been pretty occupied yourself. Love that you're continuing to study Japanese and playing with your camera. Really happy for you. :-) Thanks again so much! Thanks, Helen.

Your li'l one's already attending kindy! It's incredible. I still remember when you first announced you were pregnant. Wowsers. And hey - I bet they're not really all that boring. ;-) Anyway, I hope your li'l guy's really enjoying kindy now. And you too. :-) Thanks, Heather! Your li’l one’s already attending kindy!

Yeah - things just seem to fly by, isn't it? And yes, Adelaide's been soooo hot. We had a couple of weeks with temps that are 40'C and above. Even up to 45'C!! It was horrid. But, things are not so bad right now. Still on the warm side most days, but Autumn's just around the corner. Hi, notsquare. Yeah – things just seem to fly by, isn’t it?

Yes, plenty of stuff indeed. :-) And more to come. Thanks for all that. And yeah... it IS incredible. I think we have first met each other online when C was just a newborn. And your girl's in early primary school. And now...?! It just goes by so fast. Hi, Christine. Yes, plenty of stuff indeed. :-) And more to come. Thanks for all that. And yeah… it IS incredible.

I just feel that it's good not to let bad things stay that way. I don't like stewing, getting angry, etc. Of course, I feel upset and all that - and I end up not liking things/people/situations just like everyone else - but, I prefer not to dwell on them. I move on and keep going. :-) On the coaching: It is a kind of life coaching. And yeah, I find it quite beneficial. It's my first time signing up for a programme, but I think it's really useful at this stage of my life. Maybe you can find one that you'd enjoy doing too! Hi, Kari.

I love that comment about not having a "real" downtime. You're so right. I just feel the need to keep myself occupied. There are just so many things I'd love to be able to do... and it feels that there's so little time to do it all! :-) LOL, Kay! I love that comment about not having a “real” downtime.

It got to 45.7C on the hottest day. So very glad that today is cool. There was a light misty drizzle early this morning. Over the hot days I've spent time trying to save a few plants. Not that it's been very time consuming. Hauling buckets of water from on end of the garden to another seems silly but it does comply with our use of water restrictions. I think the walnut and cherry trees will live. Amazingly a lot of trees and plants survived unscathed and entirely without my help. Last weekend I decided to take up trying to learn Japanese again. Even though it's a challenge to the brain cells it's fun. I intend communing with my camera today......trying to work out some more of it's functions. Hi Shai

Doesn't life change when school starts? Happy birthday to your little guy. Mine started kindy this week. Although the first two weeks are low key, he will be going for two full days once they get into full swing. I'm loving the idea. Hope you make the choices to do what it is you really desire. I've been busy, too, but just boring regular stuff. ;-) Hi Shai,
